# Creator Studio Documentation

Creator Studio is Colect's AI-powered content creation tool that helps brands enrich their existing product imagery with additional visual content — at scale.

### What is Creator Studio

Brands already upload product content to Colect through their regular data feeds (SFTP, API, or manual upload). This content lives in the Brand Portal and is shared downstream with retailers. Creator Studio builds on top of this: it uses the brand's existing assets as a starting point to generate additional product imagery using AI.

For example, if a brand has uploaded a front-facing packshot, Creator Studio can generate a model shot, back view, or additional angles — without the brand needing to organize a new photoshoot.

### How It Fits Into Your Workflow

Creator Studio connects directly to your Colect Webstore collections. The content your brand has already uploaded serves as the source material for AI generation. You select what you want to create, configure the output, and publish the results back to your Brand Portal.

### Data Safety

Creator Studio is designed to protect your original brand content at all times.

**Original content is never overwritten.** AI-generated images can only be placed on media types that are not currently in use. If a brand later updates a media type through their regular data feed (SFTP, API), the AI-generated image on that slot will be replaced by the brand's new content. The data interface is always leading.

In other words: brand-uploaded content always takes priority. Creator Studio only fills gaps — it never replaces what the brand has provided.

### Key Features

Creator Studio offers the following capabilities:

* **Sketch to Product Transform** — Convert technical sketches and design drawings into realistic product packshots using AI.
* **Packshot to Model Transform** — Transform flat product packshots into model photography, showing products as worn by a model.
* **Batch Processing** — Generate images for multiple products in a single run, saving time when working with large collections.
* **Review & Approval Workflow** — Review all generated images before publishing, with the ability to approve, retry, or delete individual results.
* **Reference Image Management** — Upload global reference images to maintain visual consistency across all generated content.
* **Video Transform** — Generate product videos from existing imagery (coming soon).
