Unclear or incomplete product photos make it harder for buyers to understand how a garment actually looks. They can't see how the neckline sits, how sleeves fall, or what the silhouette looks like from the side. That's what drives hesitation, abandoned carts, and returns.

Ghost mannequin photos from every angle fix that. Front, three-quarter, and side, all from a single photo. Accurate expectations before checkout mean more confident buyers, higher conversion rates, and fewer returns.

Ghost mannequin photography is a product photography technique where clothing looks three-dimensional and naturally shaped, like it's worn by an invisible body. This technique has become quite popular over the past years as it gives shoppers a true visualization on how the garment looks when worn.

You'll see it on most professional e-commerce catalogs because it shows fit, drape, and structure without a visible model or mannequin distracting from the garment.

Traditionally, ghost mannequins required a substantial setup e.g. photograph the garment on a physical mannequin ideally in a photo studio, then in post production edit the mannequin out in Photoshop. This usually takes hours or days depending on the catalog. Today, Size AI does it automatically with AI from a single photo, saving you time and money when running your business.

Best accuracy comes from LiDAR on iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro models and iPad Pro 2020 and later:

iPhone Models:
• iPhone 12 Pro / Pro Max
• iPhone 13 Pro / Pro Max
• iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max
• iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max
• iPhone 16 Pro / Pro Max
• iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max

iPad Models:
• iPad Pro 11" (2020 and later)
• iPad Pro 12.9" (2020 and later)

On those devices typical accuracy is ~5 mm (about 1/5 inch). Size AI also works without LiDAR on iPhone 11 and later, with typical accuracy around ~9 mm (about 3/8 inch).

You give it a garment photo. The AI detects the garment type, shape, fabric type, and structure, then generates a ghost mannequin image where the garment looks naturally shaped against a clean background. The whole processes takes a couple of seconds for each generated ghost mannequin or on model shot.

With Size AI you can start from any image, be it a flat lay, hanging garment or a casual photo of your garment on your bed. Size AI generates a pro ghost mannequin photo that is polished and ready to publish in seconds.
