Q: Is Seelab really for e-commerce?

I just noticed that Seelab is more for generating AI content from scratch and then editing them instead of being able to edit/create already existing product photos.

For example, already existing product photos of e-commerce products can’t really be properly edited on Seelab. I’ve tried doing so and saw how it’s very limited only to removing background (which shows a lot of errors especially in shadows and edges), enhancing images, and removing/editing sections of the photo by using prompts which is normally cartoonish and inaccurate once finished.

The generations of each background edit prompt also instantly creates 3 different photos and we can’t adjust how many nor can you see anywhere how many credits you’ve already used.

Can Seelab or someone else explain how this platform can actually be properly utilized for e-commerce?

A: Hi Wils,

Thanks a lot for your honest feedback and you’re right: Seelab is mainly focused on generating creative visuals from scratch with a custom model.

That said, we do offer tools that can help with e-commerce use cases too — like Replace Background, Clean Image, and Reframe — which are useful for adapting or improving existing product shots, even if it’s not full-on product retouching.

And just to clarify: even though you see 3 image variations when using Replace Background, it only counts as 1 credit.

You can track your usage anytime from your quota page here: 👉

Thank you for your response, Ronan!

I was confused at first since the YouTube video by Jay from Appsumo mentions utilizing Seelab for e-commerce.

And that was the reason I initially purchased license tier 3, but upon realizing how the platform works, I had to issue a full refund.

I definitely think Seelab has potential and is great for other use cases, just not the best for e-commerce.

u can definitely edit images, i was able to remove things from pictures, i was also able to replace things in my ai images i generated on seelabs. seelabs also has a dope feature where u can put text behind the person. you can train custom models, so yea it can do what u are looking for but the limitation is they only give 3 custom models for products on tier 3 and tier 4 they give 5 custom model
