Frequently asked questions

Can I undo changes to an image in Studio?
You can undo or revert while editing, but once saved, changes are permanent.
Can I bulk download my images?
Yes, Studio deduplicates images so shop-wide downloads are cleaner than via CSV export. Select each photo you want to download, and select “Download” at top right.
Does alt text sync across all listings for an image?
Yes, once you add or edit alt text in Studio, it applies to every listing that uses that photo.
What is AI Edit + Cleanup in Vela Studio?
AI Edit + Cleanup is a tool that lets you easily remove unwanted elements, restyle your product images, or create new lifestyle visuals using AI — all within Vela Studio. It’s designed to help sellers keep images consistent, professional, and on-brand without needing separate photo-editing software.
Will edits made in Studio automatically update my listings?
Yes! When you choose to save edits to an existing image, Vela automatically updates that image across every connected listing it appears in.
What kinds of edits work best with AI Edit?
AI Edit works best when prompts are specific. Include details like setting, lighting, color palette, and what you want to keep the same. You can use it for product restyling, seasonal updates, background changes, or creating lifestyle scenes that fit your brand.
What are Layers in Vela Studio?
Layers let you add text or image overlays directly onto your product photos — so you can create banners, labels, or branded visuals right inside Vela, without switching tools.
Can I edit my shop images directly with Layers?
Yes! When you save your changes, updates will reflect across any listings that use that image — helping you keep your visuals consistent across your shop.
Can I post directly to social media from Vela Studio?
Not yet — but that feature’s coming soon! For now, you can download your finished images and share them manually to your social channels.
What can I do in Studio?
Studio is where you manage and enhance your product photos using Vela’s AI tools. You can upload, organize, and edit images; generate or replace backgrounds with AI; apply filters; and replace images in bulk across your listings. You can also expand images with AI to fit preset sizes for all your sales channels and social media platforms, helping your visuals stay consistent everywhere you sell. For a complete walkthrough, see the Help Center video on using Studio.
How do I create a new background with AI?
To create a new background with AI, hover over a photo in Studio or in your listing and click the edit icon. Choose “Remove Background” to isolate your product. You can use the endpoints to scale or rotate the item as needed. In the AI Generate box, enter a prompt describing the background you want, or click “Prompt Assist” to optimize your prompt for best results. Then click “Generate.” You’ll see three thumbnail options—click any to view them full-size. When you’re happy with a result, choose “Save to Existing Photo” to replace the image everywhere it’s used in your shop, or “Save as New Photo” to add it as a new image that can be used in listings or when creating new products. For detailed steps, see the Help Center video on creating new backgrounds with AI.
If I delete a photo in Studio, is it gone from my listings too?
Yes. Deleting an image from Studio removes it from all listings it’s attached to.
Are AI edits unlimited?
Currently yes, though some advanced AI features require a Vela Pro subscription.
