Rendering services · CGI vs product photography
CGI or a photoshoot? A plain comparison
Neither is always better. A photoshoot is quick for a few products in a few colours. CGI wins as soon as the range grows, the colours multiply, or the product doesn't exist yet. Here's how to tell which fits your catalogue.
- Live 3D preview on phone and desktop
- Team rosters and bulk checkout
- Print-ready files with every order

Questions
What buyers ask us
Is CGI cheaper than product photography?
Per image, CGI gets cheaper as the range grows, because the model is built once. For a handful of products in one colour, a photoshoot is often cheaper.
Can I use both?
Most brands do: renders for product and variant images, a photoshoot for people and campaigns.
We already use another customizer. Can we move?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Our team moves your products, options, fonts and artwork across, and your current setup keeps selling until the new one is live.
