In a hurry? Use the apparel photos quick guide instead.
Promeo's Flat Lay, Ghost Mannequin, and Ironing tools fix the clothing photos you already have. Flat Lay turns a garment photo into a top-down flat lay on white. Ghost Mannequin shows it in 3D on an invisible model. Ironing smooths wrinkles and creases and keeps the rest of the photo. Use them to get clean listing photos without a reshoot.
This article covers Flat Lay, Ghost Mannequin, and Ironing.
- In Promeo's left rail, click Product, then click Flat Lay, Ghost Mannequin, or Ironing.
- Drag your clothing photo onto the drop area, or click a sample.
- For Flat Lay or Ghost Mannequin, add an Additional Description if you like and pick a Resolution.
- Click Generate.
- Click the download icon on the result, or click Preview all, Select All, and Export.
Steps to Use Flat Lay in Promeo
Step 1: Open Flat Lay
In Promeo's left rail, click Product. Then click the Flat Lay card in the third row.
Step 2: Import Your Clothing Photo
Drag your clothing photo onto the drop area, or click the drop area to pick it. To try the tool first, click a sample under Or use a sample. This article uses the polo shirt sample.
Step 3: Describe the Result (Optional)
Scroll down to Additional Description (Optional). Type a short note about the photo you want, up to 250 characters, or leave it empty.
Step 4: Pick a Resolution and Generate
Open the Resolution menu below it and click a size. The sizes are grouped by shape, and the list continues below the part shown. Then click Generate at the bottom.
| Option | What it gives you, and when to pick it |
|---|---|
| Original | Follows your photo's shape. Keep it when the photo already has the shape your listing needs. |
| 1:1 | Square, at 1024×1024, 2048×2048, or 2880×2880. Pick it for a marketplace grid. |
| 3:4 | Portrait, at 864×1152, 1728×2304, or 2448×3264. Pick it for a product page. |
| 9:16 | Tall, starting at 720×1280. Pick it for Stories or Reels. |
Click the i icon next to Resolution to see how Original works. Promeo keeps the result between 1,048,576 and 8,294,400 pixels in total, so it scales a large photo down and a small one up.
Step 5: Check the Result
The flat lay appears under Result Preview, and a thumbnail appears in the strip below it. In the example, the crumpled polo now lies flat on white with its collar and buttons in place. Preview all, below the result on the right, opens every result in one window.
Step 6: Export the Photo
Click ••• at the top right of the result, then click Export and save the PNG. Or click the download icon at the bottom right of the result.
Step 7: Export Several Results at Once
To save more than one result, click Preview all. In the window that opens, click Select All at the top right.
Then click Export at the bottom right.

Use Flat Lay when you want the garment laid flat and seen from above. Use Ghost Mannequin when you want it to show its shape in 3D, as if worn. Use Ironing when the photo works but the garment is creased, since it keeps the background.
No. Ironing removes wrinkles and creases and leaves the background as it is. In the example, the shirt kept its hanger and wall. For a plain background instead, try Flat Lay or Ghost Mannequin, or see how to use Remove Background.
For Flat Lay and Ghost Mannequin, it depends on the Resolution you pick. Original follows your photo's shape and keeps the result between 1,048,576 and 8,294,400 pixels in total. Ironing has no Resolution setting. In the example, the 864×1152 shirt photo came back at 864×1152.
