Product knowledge hub
Understand the workflow, choose the right media profile, review compliance requirements, and see what has changed.
Getting started #
- 01
Export your final media
Finish compositing in Figma, Photoshop, or another editor, then export the final asset. Earlier export steps may remove metadata.
- 02
Add the media
Drag a supported image into Prepare or use Add image. Your media stays local where technically possible.
- 03
Build the media profile
Describe how the person was created and how realistic they appear, then choose purpose, context, marketplace, and jurisdictions.
- 04
Review requirements
Read the status and reason for each rule. Needs review means the app cannot determine applicability from the profile alone.
- 05
Configure the watermark
Choose Original, Light, Dark, or Auto independently from the application theme, then set position, size, and opacity.
- 06
Prepare export
The app renders configured visible marks, writes selected metadata, re-reads the result, and runs supported technical checks.
- 07
Inspect before upload
Use Inspector to review XMP, the Amazon tag, metadata, provenance signals, and supported file properties.
Media profiles #
Profile inputs describe the media and intended use. They guide the deterministic resolver; rule-specific legal and marketplace terms are derived rather than asked as profile questions.
How person classification works
The app separates three factual questions: how the person was created, how realistic the person looks, and whether the person represents an identifiable real individual.
Synthetic ≠ automatically photorealistic
Photorealistic ≠ automatically synthetic
Fictional ≠ automatically stylized
Appearance describes how the person looks, not how the person was created. A fully AI-generated fictional person can still be photorealistic.
Marketplace selects Amazon rules. Jurisdictions separately select United States, New York, European Union, or other geographic contexts.
Person origin
- Real person
- Use this when the person is a real individual rather than generated entirely by AI. AI-generated backgrounds, lighting changes, and ordinary edits do not automatically make the person synthetic.
- Fully AI-generated person
- AI created the human figure rather than starting from a photographed or filmed real person. This is separate from how realistic the person looks: a fully synthetic person can be photorealistic or stylized.
- AI-modified real person
- Use when AI materially changed a real person's face, body, pose, clothing, or other meaningful characteristics. Ordinary color correction does not automatically belong here.
- Mixed / composite
- Use when the media cannot accurately be reduced to only real or fully synthetic, such as a real body combined with a generated face.
- Not sure
- Affected requirements remain Needs review rather than forcing a conclusion.
Appearance
- Photorealistic
- Appearance describes how the person looks, not how the person was created. A fully AI-generated fictional person can still be photorealistic.
- Stylized / non-photorealistic
- Use for cartoon, anime-style, comic, or clearly stylized 3D human representations.
- Not sure
- Rules that depend on realism remain Needs review.
Identity relationship
- Fictional / not identifiable
- The person is fictional, generic, or not intended to represent a recognizable existing individual.
- Identifiable real person
- Use when generated or modified media represents, resembles, or imitates a recognizable real person. The resolver—not this question—interprets legal terminology.
- Not sure
- Identity-dependent requirements remain Needs review.
Content context
- Commercial / product media
- Use for Amazon listings, advertisements, product promotion, and brand campaigns.
- Expressive work
- Use when the asset is itself an expressive or creative work. Some rules provide context-specific treatment or exceptions.
- Promotion for an expressive work
- Use when the asset advertises or promotes an expressive work; this distinction can matter for exceptions.
- Other
- Select the closest factual context and review affected rules individually.
- Not sure
- Context-dependent requirements remain Needs review.
Purpose
- Amazon listing
- Use for media uploaded directly to an Amazon product detail page.
- Amazon A+ Content
- Use when the asset appears inside Amazon A+ content rather than the primary listing-image gallery.
- Advertising
- Use for ads, sponsored media, campaigns, or promotional creative outside the normal marketplace listing flow.
- Social / other
- Use for social media, website creative, internal content, or another use case. Jurisdictions can still be selected manually.
Classification examples
Example A
AI-generated realistic model holding a product
- Origin
- Fully AI-generated
- Appearance
- Photorealistic
- Identity
- Fictional
Amazon metadata likely required for an Amazon listing.
Example B
AI-generated cartoon model
- Origin
- Fully AI-generated
- Appearance
- Stylized
- Identity
- Fictional
Photorealistic-person metadata is not indicated by these facts.
Example C
Real model with an AI-generated room background
- Origin
- Real person
- Appearance
- Photorealistic
- Identity
- Identifiable real person
Amazon synthetic-person metadata is not triggered by this classification alone.
Example D
AI-generated realistic imitation of a public figure
- Origin
- Fully AI-generated
- Appearance
- Photorealistic
- Identity
- Identifiable real person
Additional jurisdictional and deepfake-related review may be necessary.

Terminology glossary
- Synthetic
- A person or content created digitally through AI rather than captured directly from reality.
- Photorealistic
- Visually resembles real photography or video.
- Fictional person
- Does not intentionally represent a specific existing individual.
- Identifiable real person
- Represents or imitates a specific recognizable natural person.
- AI-modified real person
- Starts from a real person but uses AI to materially change their representation.
Legal and marketplace rules may define these terms differently. The resolver interprets the selected facts separately for each rule.
Compliance statuses #
Implemented required mechanisms turn on automatically when the profile establishes applicability. Needs-review and optional items stay off. You can deliberately disable a required mechanism after acknowledging that the export will no longer satisfy that configured requirement.
- Required
- The current rule configuration indicates that this technical requirement applies to the selected profile.
- Recommended
- The rule may be relevant, but applicability depends on additional context.
- Optional
- A useful technical feature that is not treated as mandatory for this profile.
- Needs review
- The app does not have enough information to make a deterministic recommendation.
- Not indicated
- The selected profile does not indicate this rule's configured applicability conditions.
Watermarks #
Watermark appearance controls exported mark pixels. Application Light, Dark, and System themes only change interface chrome and never alter media output.
- Original
- Uses the watermark asset without automatic recoloring.
- Light
- Uses light-colored mark pixels for dark imagery.
- Dark
- Uses dark-colored mark pixels for light imagery.
- Auto
- Samples the image under the mark and suggests a deterministic contrast choice. Manual choice remains available.
Metadata & XMP #
For AI Gen Compliance can inspect and, where supported, write structured metadata into media files. Amazon's stored synthetic-performer workflow uses:
dc:subject
contains-synthetic-performer
Policy updates #
Changes to external marketplace, legal, or standards guidance. Source detection never changes a production rule without human review.
Technical details
Detected, pending review, approved, then published. User media is never sent with policy checks.
- Amazon: AI-generated people in listings and A+ content
- Photorealistic AI-generated people in listing and A+ image/video media require the dc:subject keyword contains-synthetic-performer.
