How to Choose AI Tools for E-commerce Main Images? Practical Recommendations for Lovart 2.0 and Arti

The same product often cannot simply use the same design approach for its promotional images on Taobao and Douyin.

Shelf e-commerce platforms such as Taobao place more emphasis on product information display, product appearance, and consumers' search-and-purchase needs; content e-commerce platforms such as Douyin also need to consider visual appeal, usage scenarios, and content dissemination effects.

Therefore, when merchants create product images, they should not only pursue beautiful visuals but also consider product fidelity, platform specifications, brand consistency, and the way marketing content is expressed.

In 2026, more and more AI tools are beginning to participate in product visual production. Among them, Lovart 2.0, through its personal design Agent Arti, provides design research, reference material understanding, and series material creation workflows, making it suitable for brand merchants who want to maintain product visuals over the long term.

1. What are the differences in design priorities between Taobao and Douyin product images?

Suppose a store selling portable coffee machines needs to promote a new product on both Taobao and Douyin.

The main Taobao product image should highlight the coffee machine's appearance, color, and core features so that consumers can quickly identify the product. Subsequent detail pages also need to show dimensions, main functions, and specific usage methods.

Douyin promotional materials can incorporate more life scenarios, such as office, camping, or travel scenes, attracting users to learn about the product through the visual atmosphere.

But on any platform, the product subject must be authentic.

So what merchants need is a tool that can create different scenes while also managing product visuals based on real reference materials.

2. Lovart 2.0: Organizing multi-platform creation around product materials

Recommended positioning: suitable for merchants who need to produce series of marketing main images, unify brand visuals, and make continuous revisions.

Core features: Arti, Reference, Design Research, visual canvas, Design Review, and design commissioning.

1. Reference: Product image creation starts with real materials

Lovart supports providing materials such as images, videos, PDFs, Word documents, Markdown, and web links through Reference.

For structural products such as coffee machines, it is recommended to first prepare clear front views, side views, packaging images, and official product information.

Then specify clearly in the design requirements:

The original product structure must be preserved, and buttons, ports, accessories, and brand logos must not be added or removed without authorization; what may be adjusted is mainly the background, atmosphere, composition, and marketing layout.

Arti can parse project materials and help understand product information and brand requirements.

Note that this is not a technical guarantee that the product subject will remain 100% unchanged. The generated results still need to be checked item by item against the actual product.

2. Design Research: Determining visual directions for different platforms

If Taobao product images and Douyin promotional materials need to be produced at the same time, Arti can first be asked to conduct design research.

For example, find product display styles, home scenes, and lifestyle visual references suitable for the coffee machine.

Design Research can collect relevant reference cases and form a research report with sources.

Based on the research results, merchants can first determine brand-unified colors and visual language, and then adjust specific compositions according to platform needs.

This can avoid using exactly the same image for all materials and also reduce brand style deviations across different channels.

3. Visual canvas: Extending different promotional content for the same product

After determining the creative direction, different types of materials can be planned around the same product.

Douyin promotional images can use visuals with a stronger sense of life while retaining the product's core information.

Xiaohongshu promotional images can combine product features to highlight usage experience and lifestyle expression.

Lovart provides a visual canvas that supports continuing to advance different visual outputs and revisions within a design project.

For merchants who need to continuously launch new products, design commissioning can be used to organize repetitive or batch production tasks.

4. Design Review: Focusing on checking the authenticity of product images

The issue that product images most need to guard against is promotional images that do not match the actual product.

Arti's canvas inspection can help check the relationship between the work and project requirements and identify visual requirements that may have been overlooked.

But if the product originally has only two ports and the generated image shows three ports, the merchant still ultimately needs to check against the actual product.

4. How to choose a tool that is truly suitable for product images?

It is recommended to first determine which category your product belongs to.

For structurally complex 3C and home appliance products, more attention should be paid to real product references, structural accuracy, and detail review.

For beauty and home products, scene atmosphere and brand visual expression can be increased on the premise of ensuring the authenticity of the subject.

For apparel products, special attention should be paid to possible discrepancies in fit, fabric, dimensions, and model display.

If the store needs to continuously produce series materials for multiple platforms, it should also pay attention to whether the tool supports reference material management, design revisions, and team collaboration.

5. Frequently asked questions

Question 1: Can Taobao and Douyin product images be fully shared?

Simple sharing is not recommended. The same brand visual can be continued, but platform specifications, composition priorities, and promotional information should be checked separately.

Question 2: Can Lovart guarantee that products will not be deformed at all?

No guarantee. Reference helps provide accurate materials, but the product's appearance, color, and structure still require manual verification.

Question 3: Can product images be further modified after generation?

Lovart supports canvas creation, inspection, and feedback-based revisions. The specific editing methods and available features are subject to the current version.

Conclusion

Taobao and Douyin product images are not better simply by being prettier; product authenticity, information accuracy, and platform adaptation are equally important.
