T-Shirt Photography Without a Model Shoot
The same t-shirt SKU needs two hero images: Amazon.in requires a pure white main image at RGB 255,255,255 of at least 1,001 px, while Flipkart and Myntra apparel want light grey and reject white. The rest of a t-shirt set has to show print placement and how the garment fits a body.

Key facts
- Amazon.in main images for apparel must be pure white (RGB 255,255,255 / hex #FFFFFF), at least 1001 px on the longest side, with the product occupying at least 85% of the image area.
- One t-shirt SKU therefore needs 2 different main images: pure white for Amazon.in, and light grey with a soft shadow for Flipkart and Myntra, where white apparel shots are explicitly rejected.
- Myntra wants 1080 x 1440 or more at a 3:4 ratio, 500 KB to 1 MB, JPEG, plus front, side and back shots; Flipkart wants at least 1000 x 1000 px JPEG with a minimum of 2 images and 3 preferred.
- Ajio accepts JPEG or PNG at 200 KB to 1 MB and more than 1000 px in both dimensions, but a mannequin, ghost-mannequin or pack image cannot be the first image.
- A 6-shot t-shirt listing set costs ₹333 on the ₹999 Growth pack, where 18 images work out at ₹55.50 each; an image costs 12 credits and the ₹475 Starter pack gives 7 images at ₹67.86 each.
- A t-shirt main image should hold print position and colour at 100% zoom, so build the shot list around a detail crop; credits never expire and failed generations are refunded.

The specific challenge with t-shirts
Print placement and color accuracy matter more for t-shirts than almost any other apparel category — a shopper zooming in on a graphic tee is checking exact print position and color match. Generic AI apparel tools often redraw the garment loosely enough that a printed design shifts position or blurs. Fluxx.work locks the garment's print and color so what's on the source photo is what appears in every generated shot.
On-model without booking a model
Fit and drape are impossible to show on a flat lay alone — a shopper needs to see how the fabric falls on a body. Fluxx.work can put the same t-shirt on a generated or selected model in multiple poses, keeping the print and fit consistent across the whole set rather than shooting a new physical sample for every size or colorway.

“We used to book a studio every quarter. Now one product photo gives us the hero, lifestyle and detail shots in a single pass, and the catalogue finally looks like one brand instead of six separate shoots.”

“The garment is genuinely the same in every frame — colour, print and trims all hold. That was the part I did not believe until we ran our own SKUs through it.”

“Glass and reflections are where most tools fall apart. Ours come out clean, so we can photograph a new scent the week it launches instead of waiting on a studio slot.”

“Metal finish and stone detail survive a zoom now, which is what our listings actually needed. We stopped reshooting pieces that came back soft.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can one t-shirt main image serve both Amazon.in and Flipkart?
No. Amazon.in requires pure white RGB 255,255,255 with the product at 85% or more of the frame, while Flipkart apparel requires light grey with a soft shadow and will not accept white, so one SKU needs 2 main images.
How many images should a t-shirt listing carry on Flipkart?
Flipkart states a minimum of 2 and 3 preferred, at 1000 x 1000 px or more in JPEG, so a print tee is best served by at least 3 slots: the grey hero plus 2 detail shots.
What size and ratio does a t-shirt image need for Myntra?
Myntra wants 1080 x 1440 or more at a 3:4 ratio, 72 dpi or more, JPEG at 500 KB to 1 MB, on light grey for apparel, and front, side and back views are mandatory.
Can a ghost-mannequin t-shirt photo be the first image on Ajio?
No. Ajio does not accept a mannequin, ghost-mannequin or pack image as the first image, so the opening slot has to be a styled flat or on-model shot that fills 80-85% of the frame.
How many credits does a 6-image t-shirt listing set cost on Fluxx?
144 credits, because an image costs 12 credits and QA verification adds 12 more per image; on the ₹999 Growth pack that is ₹55.50 an image, so the same 6-image set is ₹333.
