AI apparel images
for Google Shopping.

Google asks for clothing to be shown worn by people — and, for images made with generative AI, for a metadata tag saying so. Atelier Noir does both: on-model frames, and an export that adds the tag Google names.

The Atelier Noir export for Google Shopping

1500 × 1500 px, one click.

Every frame in the studio has an “Export for a marketplace” button: it upscales the frame 2×, fits it to Google Shopping’s size on a white background and, if you tick it, adds the AI-image label to the file metadata. Free with every plan.

  • •The Google export ticks the AI-image label by default, because Merchant Center requires it for generative-AI images. Don't strip metadata afterwards.
  • •For the main image keep the garment large in frame on a plain set; styled sets suit the additional images.
How it works
  1. 1
    Generate frames on a plain set for the main image.
  2. 2
    Export → Google Shopping (1500 × 1500, AI label on).
  3. 3
    Upload through Merchant Center; keep the file's metadata intact.
  4. 4
    Use styled frames as additional images.
Questions about Google Shopping
What metadata does Google require for AI images?+

Google names the IPTC DigitalSourceType value TrainedAlgorithmicMedia. The Atelier Noir export writes exactly that into the file's XMP metadata.

Does the label show on the image?+

No — it is invisible metadata inside the file.

Must apparel be shown on a person?+

Google asks for clothing to be shown worn by people — which is what on-model frames are for.
