Question 1

What do I need to start?

Accepted Answer

One photo of the piece, taken on your phone. It does not need to be styled, lit or edited — a clear shot on a plain surface near a window is enough. Bling AI builds the lighting, the background, the model and the grade around it.

Question 2

Do I need to be a photographer or a designer?

Accepted Answer

No. You upload the piece, pick a studio, and get finished photos back. There is nothing to set up, no editing step, and no software to learn.

Question 3

How long does one shoot take?

Accepted Answer

About a minute per shot. A small set covering one piece from several angles takes a few minutes.

Question 4

What kinds of jewelry work best?

Accepted Answer

Rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, cuffs and stacks — fine or costume, new or vintage. Highly reflective metal and clear stones are the hardest things to photograph conventionally, and they are exactly where this tends to help most.

Question 5

Is my actual piece in the photo, or does the AI invent jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Your actual piece. The photo you upload is the source, and the piece is preserved through the shoot — the model, the room and the light are what get generated around it. This matters for selling: the item in the listing has to be the item in the box.

Question 6

How many studios and models are there?

Accepted Answer

15 photographic studios and 17 house models. Each studio is a complete aesthetic — its own lighting, palette and mood — and any model can be cast into any studio, so the same piece can be shot 15 different ways.

Question 7

Can I get video as well as photos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any still can be turned into a short vertical video, which is what Instagram Reels, TikTok and Etsy listing videos want. It is the same process as a photo with one extra step.

Question 8

Can I use my own model instead of the house cast?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can design a custom model, lock her identity, and cast her into every studio, so your photography stays recognisably yours rather than looking like everyone else's.

Question 9

Will my photos look the same every time?

Accepted Answer

Models are identity-locked, so casting the same model twice gives you the same face rather than a different person. That consistency is what lets a feed or a catalog look art-directed instead of assembled.

Question 10

Can I get photos without a model — just the piece?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Product-only shots on surfaces and in styled scenes are supported alongside on-model photography. Most sellers use both: a clean product shot as the listing hero and on-model shots for scale and desire.

Question 11

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Free to start with 100 credits and no card. Paid plans run from $9.99 a month up to $79.99 a month, each with a monthly pool of credits. Full pricing is on the pricing page.

Question 12

What is a credit?

Accepted Answer

Credits are what a generation costs. About 10 credits per photo and 100 per video. So a plan's credit allowance translates roughly into that many photos a month, and video costs more than stills.

Question 13

Do unused credits roll over?

Accepted Answer

On the Essentials plan, yes — unused credits roll over up to double your monthly allowance, so a quiet month is not wasted.

Question 14

What happens if I run out of credits?

Accepted Answer

Nothing you have made is affected — your images stay yours and stay available. You can move up a plan at any time, or wait for the next monthly refill.

Question 15

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Plans are monthly with no annual lock-in. Cancelling puts you back on Free rather than locking the work you have already made.

Question 16

How does this compare to hiring a photographer?

Accepted Answer

Conventional jewelry product photography typically runs from roughly $40 to $150 per finished image, or several hundred to a few thousand dollars for a shoot day, and you pay again for the next collection. A monthly plan removes the per-piece cost, which is what makes it workable when every piece is different and inventory turns over.

Question 17

Do I own the images? Can I sell with them?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every plan, including Free, grants full commercial rights to what you generate. Use the images and video on your own store, on Etsy, on Shopify, on Instagram, in paid ads and in print.

Question 18

Are my photos used to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. Your uploads are used to make your images. They are not used to train any model and they are not shared with anyone else.

Question 19

Do I have to disclose that the images are AI?

Accepted Answer

The jewelry is real and photographed by you; the model and the setting are generated. Rules differ by platform and region, and some marketplaces and ad platforms require AI-generated imagery to be labelled, so check the policy where you are selling. Being straightforward about it tends to build trust rather than cost sales, and the piece the buyer receives is the piece in the photo either way.

Question 20

Are the models real people?

Accepted Answer

No. The house models are generated characters, not photographs of real individuals, so there are no model releases to manage and no likeness to license.

Question 21

Will these work for Etsy listings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and Etsy's own guidance favours multiple angles plus a sense of scale — which is exactly what a generated set covers. There is a dedicated guide for Etsy sellers, including the four-shot listing pack.

Question 22

What image sizes should I export?

Accepted Answer

Square (1:1) for marketplace grids, 4:5 for Instagram feed posts, and 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Stories. Export the same shot at more than one ratio rather than cropping a single file badly.

Question 23

Can I use these in paid ads?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Commercial rights cover paid media. Check the specific ad platform's disclosure rules for AI-generated creative, which change from time to time.

Question 24

Is there a desktop version, or is it iPhone only?

Accepted Answer

Both. There is an iOS app, and you can create in the browser on the web.
