Image AI & Image Bulk

Image AI (in the pipeline)

Image AI is a pipeline module — it runs automatically between enrichment and publishing, for every product in a job. For each product:

• The main image is re-rendered with gpt-image-1 at 1024×1024: the AI swaps the background and standardizes lighting, without altering the product.
• The other images (up to 3 total) are downloaded as-is — no AI involved.
• Everything is stored in Trinis storage and published to Shopify when the product is created (up to 5 images). On a re-sync, images are left untouched.
• With "Skip existing products" turned on, products whose source image hasn't changed reuse the already-processed version — without spending AI again.

Image style

The applied background comes from the "Image background style" field under Settings → Enrichment — a prompt saved as the account default, with ready-made templates (stone, white marble, linen and wood, white studio) or your own text. It's the same field described in AI Enrichment.

If you don't configure anything, Trinis uses a built-in default: a light stone surface background in beige and sand tones, soft natural lighting, no watermarks.

Alt text

Every published image gets alt text generated from the product title — this helps with store accessibility and image SEO. It applies to both the pipeline and Image Bulk.

Image Bulk (add-on)

Image Bulk applies the same main-image treatment, but on demand, to products already in your store — useful for cleaning up an entire catalog that was published before you turned on Image AI.

Activate it under Billing → Image Bulk. It's an add-on independent from the pipeline's Image AI module.

The payoff

Editing a product's main image by hand — cutting out the background, standardizing lighting, exporting — takes about 15 to 20 minutes per item in an editor. Here's the math by tier:

Even if you outsource editing at $1–2 per image, the Essential tier gets you 500 images for the price of ~30–50 done by hand. And the payoff isn't just cost: a catalog with a consistent background converts better and clears the store's quality review faster.

How to run Image Bulk

1. Open Products and select the products you want to process (from one store at a time).
2. Click "Enhance images (N)" in the action bar.
3. A job is created — track progress and logs in the Jobs tab.

For each product, Trinis pulls the main image from Shopify, re-renders it with AI using the account's style, publishes the new one in its place (with alt text), and removes the old one. Secondary images are not changed.

Quota and credits

• Processed images count against your tier's monthly limit (Essential 500 · Advanced 2,000).
• Gone over the limit? Each extra image costs 5 credits (from your on-demand credits balance).
• With no credits and no quota left, the job stops and reports how much was completed.
• The counter resets on the 1st of every month.
