Today’s e-commerce market is packed with millions of product listings – and each one competes for attention. Catching customers’ eyes means standing out in search results and delivering clear, enticing descriptions that reflect your brand. But when your catalog spans hundreds or thousands of products, writing each description by hand isn’t practical.

Imagine a tool that instantly analyzes your product images, extracts essential details like “vintage leather jacket” or “sleek mid-century sofa,” and turns them into polished, SEO-friendly descriptions in seconds. That’s where our AI product description generator comes in. Upload your product images with or without details, customize style and tone, and watch as unique, ready-to-publish descriptions appear at the click of a button.

Generate Product Titles and Descriptions in Seconds

Imagine managing an online fashion store or a home decor site, and instead of drafting descriptions one by one, you upload product images and let AI handle the rest.

Our system analyzes each image to extract not only visual details like “leather” or “white” but also context-specific attributes like “sport” or “unisex” for shoes. From just an image, it gathers everything needed to create detailed, customized, and SEO-friendly product descriptions tailored to your brand’s voice.

Our solution stands out because it combines customizable description generation with advanced tagging capabilities, all seamlessly integrated to one API to save time and resources.

The best product description generators combine tags extracted by visual AI with language models to achieve optimized and compelling texts.

Implement Tags Extracted With AI

Our product description generator is powered by an image recognition system fine-tuned for fashion and home decor. Here’s how it works for a product like a purse:

  1. Product Detection: The system detects the item in the image and marks it with a bounding box.
  2. Categorization: The item is classified under broader categories like “Bags” and subcategories like “Women’s Bags.”
  3. Tag Assignment: Last, we automatically apply key tags, describing aspects like color, material, and design.
High-quality product tagging models can capture not only visual attributes like color and material but also details such as design style and intended occasion.
High-quality product tagging models can capture not only visual attributes like color and material but also details such as design style and intended occasion.

The tagging output of your image collection is provided in a structured format, typically JSON. Then, these extracted keywords can be used for text searches, sorting, and filtering products on your website. Moreover, if you’re missing specific categories or keywords, you can customize the system or map your taxonomy to ours seamlessly.

Learn more about Fashion Tagging on the service’s page, including interactive demos.

Moreover, all the extracted attributes can directly serve for product descriptions, ensuring that titles and descriptions are accurate, engaging, and consistent with your standards.

With tools such as AI-powered product tagging, the description generators are independent of metadata or manual text entries.

Customize Every Aspect of Your Descriptions

Our product description generator provides full flexibility. For instance, you can set preferences for:

  • Product Info & Tags: You can either provide your own product data or utilize the auto-generated tags.
  • Preferred Keywords: Improve your product visibility and search ranking by highlighting the most relevant keywords in your API request.
  • Style & Tone: Choose from styles like “product-short” or “product-medium” and define the tone.

Take a look at this photo of a sofa. We’ll start by generating a short product description using the keywords ‘modern’ and ‘velvet.’ The generator prioritizes these preferred keywords while providing a concise and straightforward overview of the sofa’s key features.

No need for a human writer with AI product description generator.

Here is a medium-length description for the same product that uses the same keywords. As you can see, the generator highlights both the visual characteristics and potential uses of the piece of furniture.

Creating descriptions for the whole product catalog can be easily automated.
You can easily automate creating of descriptions for the whole product catalog.

This flexibility is especially useful for businesses with seasonal collections or diverse product lines, as it helps maintain consistent branding and reduces time spent on repetitive content creation.

Our AI solution doesn’t just automate descriptions; it optimizes them for search engines visibility as well as better user experience.

By including relevant keywords and tags, your product pages will be more discoverable and rank better in search results. Customizable descriptions allow for refined targeting, which improves the likelihood that customers will find exactly what they’re searching for.

How AI Product Description Works on Partial or Complex Product Photos?

Partial Images: Our fashion and home decor recognition solutions can handle even partially visible or overlapping products. Whether it’s a pair of shoes or an accessory cropped in an image, our tool can still extract relevant attributes for accurate descriptions.

With a smart product recognition system, it’s easy to get accurate tags for descriptions, even from partial product photos.

Complex Images: By default, our system first tags the dominant item in an image (e.g., a dress in a fashion photo) but is also capable of recognizing other items, such as accessories or shoes, and incorporating them into the product description.

Accurate and compelling descriptions on your website can significantly boost customer engagement.

How About Unique Pieces?

Unique or Non-Traditional Items: Our recognition platform is designed to accurately understand and tag distinctive or unconventional products as well. Whether it’s an item with an unusual pattern or material, or an unrelated object, the system combines fine-tuned recognition models specific to certain product categories (e.g., fashion or home decor) with general object recognition, ensuring versatility across various categories. For example, see how it handled this picture of a crocheted handbag, a unique fashion item, positioned next to a bowl of yarn.

Our specialized models work together with general recognition models to ensure comprehensive accuracy.

Together, Image Recognition and LLMs Can Describe Anything

The system can be adapted to work with images beyond just fashion or home decor & furniture. Here, we tried to upload a photo of a simple screwdriver. Can the system generate a short, yet engaging description? Absolutely.

AI product description generator can be used for various purposes, without the need to fine-tune.

Automate Product Descriptions for Your Entire Website via API

Our Product Description generation API can automate the creation of SEO-friendly descriptions for your whole e-commerce catalog. By integrating the REST API, you can transform raw product data and images into fully automated product listings, ensuring their equal visibility and consistency.

Here’s how it works:

  1. If you don’t have an account in Ximilar App yet, register to get your API token.
  2. Integration – Use the /v2/generate endpoint to create descriptions for batches of up to 10 products per request.
  3. Product Information and Images – Provide essential product details such as brand, material, color, and size. The API will use this information, combined with AI-powered tagging of provided images, to craft descriptions tailored to your needs.
  4. Styling Options – Specify style_name (e.g., “product-medium” for more detailed descriptions), and add optional fields like SEO keywords and custom tags. For larger projects, contact us at care@ximilar.com or via live chat to create a personalized style format that aligns with your brand communication style.
  5. Tagging Flexibility – Customize tagging types, such as “fashion” or “home-decor,” to match your product category, and further focus your descriptions by adding optional Top Category and Category inputs to highlight the most relevant product in complex images. If the products are from different industries, you opt for our intelligent “GPT” tagging type.

Calculate and optimise your API credit consumption with our interactive calculator.

Using this API, your descriptions are generated and returned in a JSON format, ready to be displayed on your site.

Start Saving Time and Resources with Artificial Intelligence

Our solution is ideal for businesses looking to scale their product offerings without getting bogged down by the manual labor of content creation. By automating descriptions for thousands of products via image recognition, object detection & large language models (LLMs), you can save valuable time and resources, allowing your team to concentrate on more strategic initiatives.

Whether your focus is on fashion apparel, home decor, or any other product category, AI-powered product description automation can significantly accelerate your product listing and inventory processes.

Plan Setup: Simplified Subscription Management

We’ve revamped the subscription page with new features and better functionality. The Plan Setup page now allows you to choose between Free, Business, or Professional plans, customize your monthly credit supply using a slider, and access our new API Credit Consumption Calculator—a handy tool to help you make informed decisions.

Manage Your Payment Methods and Currencies

You can change the default currency for plan setup and payments in the Settings. To update your payment method, simply access the Stripe Portal from your Plan Overview under “More Actions.” If you prefer a different payment method or have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to us!

Credit Calculator: Estimate & Optimise Your Credit Consumption

One of the most exciting additions to the app is the new Credit Calculator, now available directly within the platform.

Recognize and Identify Comic Books in Detail With AI

The newest addition to our portfolio of solutions is the Comics Identification (/v2/comics_id). This service is designed to identify comics from images. While it’s still in the early stages, we are actively refining and enhancing its capabilities.

The API detects the largest comic book in an image, and provides key information such as the title, issue number, release date, publisher, origin date, and creator’s name, making it ideal for identifying comic books, magazines, as well as manga.

Comics Identification by Ximilar provides the title, issue number, release date, publisher, origin date, and creator’s name.

This tool is perfect for organizing and cataloging large comic collections, offering accurate identification and automation of metadata extraction. Whether you’re managing a digital archive or cataloging physical collections, the Comics Identification API streamlines the process by quickly delivering essential details. We’re committed to continuously improving this service to meet the evolving needs of comic identification.

Star Wars Unlimited, Digimon, Dragon Ball, and More Can Now Be Recognized by Our System

Our trading card identification system has already been widely used to accurately recognize and provide detailed information on cards from games like Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Flesh and Blood, MetaZoo, and Lorcana.

Recently, we’ve expanded the system to include cards from Garbage Pail Kids, Star Wars Unlimited, Digimon, Dragon Ball Super, Weiss Schwarz, and Union Arena. And we’re continually adding new games based on demand. For the full and up-to-date list of recognized games, check out our API documentation.

Ximilar keeps adding new games to the trading card game recognition system. It can easily be deployed via API and controlled in our App.

Detect and Identify Both Trading Cards and Their Slab Labels

The new endpoint slab_grade processes your list of image records to detect and identify cards and slab labels. It utilizes advanced image recognition to return detailed results, including the location of detected items and analyzed features.

Graded slab reading by Ximilar AI.

The Slab Label object provides essential information, such as the company or category (e.g., BECKETT, CGC, PSA, SGC, MANA, ACE, TAG, Other), the card’s grade, and the side of the slab. This endpoint enhances our capability to categorize and assess trading cards with greater precision. In our App, you will find it under Collectibles Recognition: Slab Reading & Identification.

Automatic Recognition of Collectibles

Ximilar built an AI system for the detection, recognition and grading of collectibles. Check it out!

New Endpoint for Card Centering Analysis With Interactive Demo

Given a single image record, the centering endpoint returns the position of a card and performs centering analysis. You can also get a visualization of grading through the _clean_url_card and _exact_url_card fields.

The _tags field indicates if the card is autographed, its side, and type. Centering information is included in the card field of the record.

The card centering API by Ximilar returns the position of a card and performs centering analysis.

Learn How to Scan and Identify Trading Card Games in Bulk With Ximilar

Our new guide How To Scan And Identify Your Trading Cards With Ximilar AI explains how to use AI to streamline card processing with card scanners. It covers everything from setting up your scanner and running a Python script to analyzing results and integrating them into your website.

Let Us Know What You Think!

And that’s a wrap on our latest updates to the platform! We hope these new features might help your shop, website, or app grow traffic and gain an edge over the competition.

If you have any questions, feedback, or ideas on how you’d like to see the services evolve, we’d love to hear from you. We’re always open to suggestions because your input shapes the future of our platform. Your voice matters!

Automate Writing of SEO-Friendly Product Titles and Descriptions With Our AI

Our AI-powered Product Description revolutionizes the way you manage your fashion apparel catalogs by fully automating the creation of product titles and descriptions. Instead of spending hours manually tagging and writing descriptions, our AI-driven generator swiftly produces optimized texts, saving you valuable time and effort.

Ximilar automates keyword extraction from your fashion images, enabling you to instantly create SEO-friendly product titles and descriptions, streamlining the inventory listing process.

With the ability to customize style, tonality, format, length, and preferred product tags, you can ensure that each description aligns perfectly with your brand’s voice and SEO needs. This service is designed to streamline your workflow, providing accurate, engaging, and search-friendly descriptions for your entire fashion inventory.

Enhanced Taxonomy for Accessories Product Tagging

We’ve upgraded our taxonomy for accessories tagging. For sunglasses and glasses, you can now get tags for frame types (Frameless, Fully Framed, Half-Framed), materials (Combined, Metal, Plastic & Acetate), and shapes (Aviator, Cat-eye, Geometric, Oval, Rectangle, Vizor/Sport, Wayfarer, Round, Square). Try how it works on your images in our public demo.

Our tags for accessories cover all visual features from materials to patterns or shapes.

Automate Detection & Tagging of Home Decor Images With AI

Our new Home Decor Tagging service streamlines the process of categorizing and managing your home decor product images. It uses advanced recognition technology to automatically assign categories, sub-categories, and tags to each image, making your product catalog more organized. You can customize the tags and choose translations to fit your needs.

The service also offers flexibility with custom profiles, allowing you to rename tags or add new ones based on your requirements. For pricing details and to see the service in action, check our API documentation or contact our support team for help with custom tagging and translations.

Visual Search for Home Decor: Find Products With Real-Life Photos

With our new Home Decor Search service, customers can use real-life photos to find visually similar items from your furniture and home decor catalogue.

Our tool integrates four key functionalities: home decor detection, product tagging, colour extraction, and visual search. It allows users to upload a photo, which the system analyzes to detect home decor items and match them with similar products from your inventory.

Our Home Decor Search tool suggests similar alternatives from your inventory for each detected product.

To use Home Decor Search, you first sync your database with Ximilar’s cloud collection. This involves processing product images to detect and tag items, and discarding the images immediately after. Once your data is synced, you can perform visual searches by submitting photos and retrieving similar products based on visual and tag similarity.

The API allows for customized searches, such as specifying exact objects of interest or integrating custom profiles to modify tag outputs. For a streamlined experience, Ximilar offers options for automatic synchronization and data mapping, ensuring your product catalog remains up-to-date and accurate.
