Cons

Limited to Fashion Apparel: Botika currently supports only clothing items, accessories, footwear, cosmetics, and children’s or baby products are not yet supported.
No Custom Models or Backgrounds: Users cannot upload or design their models or backgrounds, nor can they create visuals using text prompts, which limits creative flexibility.
Pose and Body Retention Constraints: In on-model workflows, the AI retains the original pose and body type from the uploaded image, which may restrict visual variety.
Free Plan Watermarks: Images generated under the free plan may include watermarks, which could affect professional or commercial use.

Use Cases

Social Media & Ad Campaigns: Create eye-catching lifestyle visuals to complement digital marketing initiatives.
A/B Testing Visual Variants: Compare different models, backgrounds, or styles to pinpoint what drives engagement.
Small-Brand Storytelling: Leather-watch makers, boutique designers, or startup labels can maintain high-end visual appeal on a budget.
On-the-Go Visuals: With mobile integration, update visual assets even while travelling or in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of photos and poses are supported?

Botika offers two workflows:

On-model: Keep the pose and body type constant from your original image.
Flat-lay (beta): Ideal for tops like t-shirts and sweatshirts, select model, pose, and background manually.

Where do the AI models come from?

All are 100% AI-generated, no real people, stock photos, or prompts involved.

Can I include accessories like glasses or jewellery?

Botika tries to preserve such items if visible, but they may be altered or omitted. It's best to use accessory-free photos until full support is added.

Can Botika handle jewellery, footwear, or cosmetics?

Not yet, currently limited to clothing. Expansion to other categories may come in the future.

Can I upload headless or cropped images?

Yes, Botika can seamlessly blend models into cropped or headless shots for a natural appearance.

How many photos can I process per day?

You can upload up to 100 images daily; excess uploads will be processed the next day.

Why do some photos show as "unsupported"?

These are images the AI couldn’t process (e.g., non-on-model photos). No credits are used, and you can retry them within the same billing period.

Can I customize clothing or models with my prompts?

No, Botika enhances your photos but doesn’t allow custom model or clothing generation from text prompts.
