Photo Editing and Management
Good photos sell items. Nifty gives you free editing tools plus an AI Studio — background removal in any color, ghost mannequin, flat lay, shadows, and AI models — so your listings stand out without leaving Nifty.
Where to find it
Go to the Inventory Manager and open an item in the Listing form (see Creating and Editing Items). Click any photo to open the Edit photos dialog.
The dialog has two modes, switched with the toggle at the top:
Free Tools — free, manual tools (crop, filter, and more).
AI Studio — AI-powered edits like background removal and virtual models. These edits use Smart Credits.
Free Tools
Manual editing tools are available at no cost and don't use Smart Credits:
Crop
Trim edges or reframe the shot
Filter
Apply preset adjustments
Finetune
Adjust brightness, contrast, and more
Annotate
Overlay with arrows, shapes, or text
Frame
Add a border around the edges
Redact
Blur sensitive information
Rotate
Fix orientation
Flip
Produce a mirror image
Free edits apply to one photo at a time.
AI Studio
Switch to AI Studio to apply AI edits powered by Photoroom. Select one photo or several at once, choose your edits, then click Apply edit — Studio processes every selected photo together.
AI Studio edits are grouped into Basic and Advanced.
Basic: Remove background
Removes the cluttered background and replaces it with a clean, solid color.
Turn on Remove background.
Pick a background color — White (default) or a custom color.
Click Apply edit.
Cost: 1 Smart Credit per photo.
Advanced: AI edits
Advanced edits use generative AI to restyle your product shot. They include background removal automatically, and you can combine several at once for a single flat rate.
Ghost mannequin
Invisible mannequin effect for worn apparel
Flat lay
A styled, shot-from-above layout
Shadow
Casts a natural shadow under the item
Virtual model
Shows the item worn by an AI-generated model
Cost: a flat 5 Smart Credits per photo, no matter how many Advanced edits you combine.
A few rules keep results looking right:
Background removal is automatically applied with any Advanced edit, so you don't pay the Basic credit on top.
Ghost mannequin and Flat lay can't be used together — pick one.
Virtual model generates a full scene with its own AI background, so it can't be combined with any other edit (including background removal).
Virtual model: Model, Scene, and Pose
When you turn on Virtual model, three options appear so you can steer the generated photo. Each defaults to Auto (or Random), letting the AI choose — but setting the model in particular will help ensure you're happy with the result.
Model
Which AI model wears the item — pick to match the intended look (for example women's vs. men's).
Scene
The background and setting, from a plain studio to a beach, street, café, and more.
Pose
How the model stands — standing, walking, seated, over-the-shoulder, and others.
AI results aren't refundable. As soon as you click Apply edit, your photos are sent to Photoroom and the credits are spent immediately — the credit is not refunded even if you revert to the original. If an edit fails, the credits for those failed photos are automatically refunded.
Per-marketplace photo selection
You can choose different photos or a different photo order for each marketplace.
When creating a listing
Add your photos at the top of the form as normal.
For each marketplace, click Select photos to update the selection or order.
When you publish, Nifty respects the per-marketplace choices.
This is useful when:
One marketplace has a photo limit (Depop allows fewer than eBay)
A certain photo works better as the cover on one platform
You want to exclude a photo from a specific marketplace
Note: If you don't customize photos per marketplace, Nifty will take as many as we can for the marketplace. For example, for Depop we'll take the first 8 photos, as only 8 are allowed.
When editing an existing listing
When you reopen the Edit item form, Nifty does not preserve the per-marketplace view. Instead, you'll see a representative collection of photos at the top.
Important behavior:
If you don't change the photos while editing, your listing photos stay exactly as they were on each marketplace.
If you do make changes, you'll see a green Changes detected indicator.
When you see the Changes detected indicator, you may want to reselect photos per marketplace before saving — otherwise your changes apply uniformly.
What you can't do
Bulk free edits
AI Studio edits can be applied to multiple photos at once; Free Tools work one photo at a time
Edit the AI result
You can't manually adjust what the AI kept, removed, or generated
Refund after revert
Reverting an AI Studio edit doesn't refund the credit — processing already occurred
