Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about workflow, credits, outputs, and plan usage.
What is Suawave?
Suawave is a generative AI platform that helps clothing brands and retailers make beautiful and realistic fashion photos using virtual models. It simplifies the photo creation process, saves money and helps you get your clothing collections out to customers quicker.
How do I get started?
Getting started with Suawave is simple – just upload photos of your clothing products. You can take them with your smartphone, get them from suppliers, or even use customer photos. No need for professional photography. Start with a free trial today.
What are credits and how many do I need?
Generating photos requires credits, with each photo costing 1 credit. To estimate how many credits you'll need, multiply the number of products or SKUs by the average number of photos per SKU on your website.
How soon will my photos be ready?
It takes about 15 minutes for our AI to process your photos. We take extra time to ensure your images look like they were shot in a studio. If there's an issue, we’ll fix it for free.
What image formats and resolutions can I use?
You can upload photos in PNG, JPG, and WEBP formats, with up to 4K resolution depending on your plan. Results are available in JPG and PNG files, sized perfectly for social media.
Can I upload headless or cropped images?
Definitely. Upload your cropped photo, and Suawave will perfectly blend the Suawave into it, keeping things natural and realistic.
Does Suawave have kids or baby models?
Not yet, but we may in the future. If you're interested, let us know via [email protected] or our in-app chat service.
Can I create my own models or backgrounds?
Not yet. We don’t support custom models or backgrounds to keep the quality high. But we’re always adding new options, with over 50 models and dozens of backgrounds available. If you need something specific, let us know via [email protected] or our in-app chat service.
How do I contact you?
We offer several ways to get in touch with us: message via in-app chat, email [email protected], or submit the contact form on our website.
What types of photos and poses can I use with Suawave?
We currently offer on-model photos and flat lays. On-model photos require someone wearing the clothes, while flat lays support tops like T-shirts and sweatshirts and allow model/pose/background selection.
Can I use accessories in my photo?
Our AI will try to keep accessories close to the original, but they might be removed or altered. For best results, use accessory-free photos.
Can I use your service for jewelry, footwear, or cosmetics?
Currently, we only support clothing. We may add more categories in the future.
How many images can I upload per day?
You can upload up to 100 photos daily. Extras will be processed the next day.
Why are some photos marked as “unsupported”?
It means our AI couldn’t render your photo. We support on-model photos and have a beta for flat-lays. Unsupported photos won’t use credits and can be reused within the same billing cycle.
What do I do if there are issues with my photo?
You can request a revision by clicking 'Photo Issue'. Revisions are free and take 1–5 days based on your plan.
Can I customize clothing or models using my own prompts?
We don’t support text-to-image or prompt customization. Just upload a clothing photo, pick a model, pose, and background.
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes. You can start a free trial anytime without a credit card and get 8 free credits.
What are credits?
Credits let you submit photos for editing. One credit = one photo. Your monthly credits reset each month.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and PayPal.
Can I make changes to my plan?
Yes. Go to 'Billing' → 'Change plan' or 'Cancel Subscription'. No refunds, but access continues until the end of the billing cycle.
What happens to my unused credits?
Unused credits roll over to the next month. If you cancel, remaining credits are lost.
How do I check my remaining credits?
Your balance is shown top-right. For example, '15 of 60 used'.
How do I know when my credits will expire?
Monthly credits expire after one month. Check your renewal date on the billing page.
Do I need to pay usage rights fees?
No. Generated photos are free to use commercially. Reselling or misrepresenting Suawaves is prohibited. See terms of service.
What if I run out of credits?
You can start with 20 credits/month and add up to 500 mid-month if needed.
What is the difference between the annual and monthly plans?
Annual plans offer discounts and credit rollover. Monthly plans reset credits each month.
