How to bulk-generate product photos for your entire catalog

Scale your product photography with batch workflows

Quick Answer

Lume's Pro and Business plans support bulk catalog generation. Save a scene preset (background, props, lighting), then apply it to all products for perfect consistency. Use priority processing to generate hundreds of photos quickly, or queue batches overnight. Organize with project folders and export with consistent naming.

Best Practices for Large Catalogs

  • 💡
    Start with a sample batch: Generate 5-10 products first to validate your preset before applying to hundreds.
  • 📁
    Use project folders by campaign: Keep "Q1-2025," "Black-Friday," or "New-Arrivals" organized separately.
  • ⚡
    Queue overnight for huge catalogs: Set up batches of 100+ products before bed; they'll be ready in the morning.
  • 🎨
    A/B test scenes on a subset: Try 2-3 different presets on 10 products, then scale the winner.
  • 📊
    Track credit usage: 300-product catalog = 300 credits. Upgrade to Business if generating monthly.
