Jewelry AI

The model photograph has to clear a higher floor than the jewelry

Both inputs are measured the same way — by the shorter side of the image — and then compared against two different minimums. The model frame is the stricter of the two. If a run is refused before it begins, the model photograph is the one to look at first.

The model frame is an input, not a background

It is easy to read the model photograph as the background the piece will be placed on. It is not: there is no background selector anywhere in this app, and nothing is being layered onto a chosen backdrop. Both photographs are inputs, and both are checked before anything is sent.

What the check looks at is the shorter side of each image. Whether the frame is tall or wide changes nothing; the smaller of the two dimensions is the one compared against a minimum.

The part that is not obvious is that there is more than one minimum. The two inputs are not asked for the same thing, and the model photograph is asked for more.

What the asymmetry costs when you do not know about it

Each of these follows from assuming both inputs are judged alike.

  • The wrong frame is reshot. The piece is set up, lit and photographed again while the model photograph that caused the refusal stays in place.

    Start from the model photograph. Its floor is the higher one, so it is the first place to look when a run is refused before it begins.

  • A model photograph that came to you through another route is used without checking its dimensions, and is refused for a reason that was never visible on screen.

    Check the pixel dimensions in the file itself rather than judging them by how the photograph looks in a gallery.

  • A frame just above the floor is treated as sufficient, and a small piece ends up occupying very little of it.

    Use the floor as a refusal line only. Choose the frame that suits the piece, then confirm it is not near the minimum.

  • A larger model photograph is uploaded in the belief that it will produce a larger result.

    Size the model frame to clear the floor and to suit the piece. Output size is fixed and does not follow the input.

How a model photograph is judged, in order

Everything up to the last step happens on your device.

  1. You choose the photograph

    This is the point where the choice is still free and nothing has been sent. It is also the last point at which checking the dimensions costs you nothing.

  2. The shorter side is measured

    The app takes the smaller of the two dimensions. Orientation, aspect and how the frame is cropped do not change which number is used.

  3. That number is compared against the model floor

    A model photograph is held to a shortest side of 400 rather than the 128 applied to an upload in general (image-validation.ts:28-38, verified 2026-08-18). A frame below it is refused here, on the device, before the upload starts — so no run is created and nothing is waiting.

  4. If it clears, the photograph is sent with the rest of the run

    The review step states what happens next in its own words: "When you submit, the required image, instruction, and settings are sent to a third-party AI provider to produce your result." What is sent is the photograph you chose, not a version the app enlarged.

  5. What comes back is a fixed size, whatever you sent

    Output size does not vary with the input and there is no setting that changes it. Every finished result also carries a permanent strip reading: "AI-generated or AI-edited result. Review product details, anatomy, and rights before publishing or selling."

What this page does not cover

  • File size ceilings — this page gives no figure for them.
  • Which file types are accepted and how a file is identified; that belongs to the page on which files the app accepts.
  • Whether to use your own model photograph or a catalogue model, and what that choice changes after the run — that decision has its own page.
  • What the provider does with an image once it has been sent.
  • How large the result is in absolute terms, or any way of changing it, since no such control exists.

Questions

Which photograph is refused first, the jewelry or the model?

The model photograph, in the sense that it is the one held to the stricter minimum. An upload in general is checked against a shortest side of 128, and a model photograph against a shortest side of 400 (image-validation.ts:28-38, verified 2026-08-18). A frame that would pass as a product photograph can still be refused as a model photograph.

Is the minimum measured on width or on height?

On whichever is smaller. The check reads the shorter side of the image, so a tall frame and a wide frame are treated the same way and only the smaller dimension decides.

Will a bigger model photograph give me a bigger result?

No. A larger frame clears the floor, and that is all it does. Output size is fixed and there is no control in the flow that raises it.

Does the app enlarge a photograph that is under the minimum?

No. The photograph is refused on your device before the upload starts, so there is nothing to enlarge and no run in progress. The remedy is a different frame, not a different setting.
