Studio Zero Editorial

Last reviewed: September 27, 2026

Articles on the Studio Zero blog are published by Studio Zero Editorial, the team that builds and runs the Studio Zero app. We write about product photography, marketplace image rules and AI photo tools because these are the problems we work on every day. This page explains how those articles are made, so you can decide how much weight to give them.

We make one of the tools we write about

Studio Zero is our product. When an article compares AI photo apps, recommends a workflow or answers "what's the best tool for X", it is written by people who have a commercial interest in the answer. We don't hide that, and you should read our comparisons with it in mind. What we commit to in return:

  • We describe competitors using what their own websites and documentation say, and we link to them.
  • We say where Studio Zero is not the right choice: a desktop workflow, a luxury campaign, heavy manual retouching, a product that needs to be photographed in person.
  • We don't state competitor prices or features we couldn't verify at the time of writing.

How an article gets made

  1. Start from a real seller question. Topics come from support requests, app reviews and the questions sellers ask about Amazon, Etsy, Shopify and social platforms.
  2. Go to the primary source. Image sizes, background rules and policies are checked against the platform's own help pages (Amazon Seller Central, Etsy Help, Shopify Help Center and so on). We link to those pages in the article so you can check them yourself.
  3. Try it in the app. When we describe how a mode handles a type of product, it's based on running that kind of photo through Studio Zero.
  4. Draft, then check. We use AI writing tools while drafting. Before publishing, facts, numbers and links are checked against the sources they cite; links that don't load or don't support the claim are removed.

What we won't publish

  • Invented statistics, studies, customer quotes or testimonials.
  • Fake author personas. Articles are credited to Studio Zero Editorial rather than to made-up individuals.
  • Photos that misrepresent a product. We advise sellers to keep AI images faithful to the real item, and we hold our own examples to the same rule.

Keeping articles current

Marketplace rules change. Every article shows the date it was published, and its structured data carries the date it was last modified. We review reference articles (image requirements, platform policies) when a platform announces a change, and update the article and its date when we do.

Corrections

If something in an article is wrong or out of date, email support@getstudiozero.com with the page link and what needs fixing. We correct factual errors, update the modified date, and note substantive corrections at the end of the article.
