AI Shadows

Add realistic, natural-looking shadows to a product cutout so it sits convincingly on a surface instead of floating.

AI Shadows grounds a product cutout by adding a believable shadow. It turns an image that looks pasted on top into one that sits naturally on a surface.

What it does

You bring a product cutout and Krex AI generates a realistic shadow beneath it, matching the direction and softness you'd expect from real light. The result reads as if the product is resting on a surface rather than floating, which makes staged and stand-alone product shots far more convincing.

How to use it

  1. Open AI Shadows and upload your product cutout.
  2. Set the light direction and shadow softness for the look you want.
  3. Generate the shadow and check how the product sits on the surface.
  4. Adjust the angle or softness if the shadow looks too hard or misaligned.
  5. Save the finished image once the product feels grounded.

Tips

  • Match the shadow direction to the light in your scene so it looks consistent.
  • Use softer shadows for diffused, indoor lighting and harder ones for direct sun.
  • A clean cutout with crisp edges produces the most natural-looking shadow.
  • Pair this with Product Staging so the product fits the scene and sits on its surface.
