Use better product photos
A dim, yellow-tinged photo can make a beautiful piece look like a car-boot find — and buyers shop with their eyes first. When you've taken better shots, getting them onto your bernard-hosted site is a matter of pasting them into a chat.
How it works
- Get your access prompt. Log in to bernard, open your site, and copy the prompt from Edit with AI (it contains a key that works for 12 hours).
- Paste it into your AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use — then paste the new photos and say which products they belong to, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Check the new photos look right in place, press Approve, and they're live.
A quick rule of thumb for the photos themselves: daylight, a plain background, and the piece filling most of the frame. The AI handles everything after the shutter.
The prompt
“Replace the photo of [the product name] on my shop page with the one I'm pasting — keep everything else about the entry the same.”
The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Log in to bernard → your site → Edit with AI → copy your access prompt, paste that into your AI first, then ask the above.
Questions people ask
- How do I change product photos on my website without a builder?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, paste the new photo into the chat with the AI you already use — ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — and say which product it belongs to. The AI swaps it in and shows you a preview; nothing goes live until you approve.
- What size should product photos be for a website?
- Anything up to 10 MB per image works — a good photo straight off a recent phone is fine. The AI places it so it displays properly alongside your other products.
- Can I replace several photos at once?
- Yes — paste them all in one message and say which product each belongs to. Every change lands on the same preview, and you approve them together.
