Image Adjustment
After uploading images and selecting platforms, you can preview and adjust how your products will appear in the final exports. This step is optional but gives you full control over the result.
Adjustment Modes
Auto Mode (Recommended)
In Auto mode, Solixync's AI automatically:
- Centers the product in the frame
- Scales appropriately to meet platform requirements
- Maintains proper margins for each platform's safe zones
- Ensures compliance with minimum fill requirements (like Amazon's 85%)
Auto mode works well for most product photos and requires no manual intervention.
Manual Mode
Switch to Manual mode when you need precise control over:
- Product positioning
- Rotation angle
- Scale/zoom level
- Brightness and contrast
Manual adjustments let you fine-tune exactly how your product appears in the final image.
Manual Adjustment Controls
Rotation
- Range: -180° to +180°
- Use for: Correcting tilted products, changing orientation
- Tip: Small adjustments (±5-10°) can dramatically improve presentation
Scale (Zoom)
- Range: 0.5x to 3.0x
- Use for: Making products larger or smaller in the frame
- Tip: For Amazon, ensure your product fills at least 85% of the frame
Position (Offset)
- Drag to reposition the product within the frame
- Use for: Centering off-center products, creating specific compositions
- Tip: Watch the platform overlay guides for optimal positioning
Brightness
- Range: -100 to +100 (0 = no change)
- Use for: Brightening dark photos, reducing overexposure
- Tip: Slight increases (+10-20) often improve product visibility
Contrast
- Range: -100 to +100 (0 = no change)
- Use for: Making products pop, improving definition
- Tip: Moderate increases (+10-30) can make products stand out
Platform Overlays
When adjusting images, visual guides show you:
Margin Guide (Outer Box)
The safe zone where your product should generally stay. Content outside this area might get cropped on some devices.
Fill Guide (Inner Box)
For platforms like Amazon with minimum fill requirements, this shows the area your product should occupy.
Platform-Specific Colors
| Platform | Guide Color |
|---|---|
| Amazon | Orange |
| Etsy | Orange |
| Shopify | Green |
| eBay | Red |

- Switch specific images to Manual for fine-tuning
Tips for Best Results
When to Use Auto Mode
- Product is already well-centered in the original photo
- Standard product photography with clean backgrounds
- Processing large batches quickly
When to Use Manual Mode
- Product needs rotation correction
- Product should be larger/smaller than default
- Specific positioning requirements
- Brightness or contrast needs adjustment
General Tips
- Start with Auto - See if the AI positioning works for you
- Preview carefully - Use the platform overlays to check compliance
- Be consistent - Use similar adjustments across product lines
- Check multiple platforms - Preview how the image looks for each selected platform
Preview vs. Final Result
The preview shows:
- Approximate positioning and scaling
- Platform overlay guides
- CSS-based brightness/contrast simulation
The final processed image applies:
- Actual background removal
- Precise pixel-level positioning
- Server-side image adjustments
- Platform-specific export formats
