Flat lays are one of the most recognizable product photo styles: shot straight down, with the product surrounded by a few carefully placed props. They are easy to read on a phone and leave room for text. The hard part is the styling and the overhead setup. This tool does both from a normal product photo.

Composition: grid, diagonal or knolling

Grid layouts feel calm and organized. A loose diagonal adds movement. Knolling, where everything is aligned at right angles with equal gaps, looks precise and suits tech, tools and stationery. Whatever the layout, leave empty space around the product so it stays the focus.

Choosing props and surfaces

Props should tell a story about the product: coffee beans around a mug, a notebook and pen beside a planner, leaves and citrus around a skincare bottle. Use three to five props, keep colors in one palette, and pick a surface such as linen, marble, wood or a solid color that contrasts with the product.

Light for a flat lay

Overhead shots look best with soft, even light and short shadows. Hard light from one side can work for a bold graphic style, but keep it consistent across a series so your feed or catalog matches.
