What is OnModel.ai?

OnModel is an AI tool designed for fashion and apparel e-commerce businesses to improve product photography without extensive reshoots. It focuses on two main tasks: swapping models in existing product images and adjusting backgrounds for consistency across your catalogue. This lets you show the same item on different body types or ethnicities, or update your visual branding without bringing models back into the studio. The tool offers both a web interface for manual edits and APIs for integrating these features directly into your existing systems. It updates its AI models weekly and uses auto-scaling GPU infrastructure to handle batch processing.
