Seller guide
A ghost mannequin photo shows a garment in its worn 3D shape with nothing holding it: no mannequin, no hanger, no model. Several AI tools now make one from a single photo. Here is what each free option gives you, and what happened when we ran two hanger photos through our own tool.
Updated 13 October 2026
Example before (AI-made sample photo) and our model's output
Both are AI-made sample photos of a garment on a hanger on a door, not customer photos. Each went through the Ghost Mannequin Effect tool exactly as a visitor would use it.
PromptGhost mannequin, front, white
Worked on the first try. The hanger and door are gone and the inside back of the collar shows. One miss: the small label on the left cuff stayed, so remove tags before you shoot.

PromptMake a ghost mannequin photo of these jeans: keep them as jeans, front view, pure white background
Our first try with the short "Ghost mannequin, front, white" prompt went wrong: the model turned the jeans into a top. Saying "jeans" and "keep them as jeans" fixed it on the next try. Shown is that second result.

Try AI Two (sister studio: free to try, paid plans remove the watermark)The before photos are phone-style snapshots of generic products that we made with an AI image model for this site's tool pages; they are not customer photos. Each after is the unedited result of our own free tool on that photo, made on 13 October 2026 at the size a visitor gets (768px on the long side) and shown without the download mark. Results vary from photo to photo.

Look at four things before you pick a tool: the inside back of the neckline is visible, the sleeves and hem have hollow openings, nothing of the hanger or mannequin is left at the shoulders, and the color and fabric match the real garment.
For a whole catalog, consistency matters as much as any single image: same angle, same white, same shadow and same crop on every product.
Sheer fabrics, sequins, very structured pieces (blazers with heavy shoulders, swimwear with cups) and anything where the inside matters to the buyer are still hard for every automatic tool. For those, and for large catalogs that must match a brand style exactly, a retoucher or a done-for-you studio is the safer choice.
Free outputs are also small. Ours are capped at 768px on the long side with a small mark, which is fine for a quick look, social posts or a draft listing, but marketplaces that zoom (Amazon asks for about 1000px or more) need a larger, unmarked file.

FAQ
Yes. Z Product AI and Pokecut both let you make ghost mannequin images without an account (as of 13 October 2026). Z Product AI gives a free daily allowance; Pokecut gives 5 free credits a day.
Yes. Our blazer test came from a hanger-on-a-door photo and worked on the first try. Describe the garment in the prompt (for example "these jeans") so the AI keeps its type.
Not for AI tools. The classic method shoots the garment on a mannequin and again inside out, then combines them in Photoshop. AI tools build the hollow neckline from one photo.
Usually not as downloaded. Free outputs are often small or marked, and Amazon wants no logos or watermarks and about 1000px or more on the long side. Amazon apparel main images are also expected to show a model or a flat lay, so check your category style guide before using a ghost mannequin image there.
