eBay’s newest AI feature allows sellers to switch image backgrounds with AI-generated backdrops. The tool is now available for iOS users within the U.S., U.K., and Germany. It’ll steadily roll out to Android users over the approaching months.
Following in Amazon’s and Google’s footsteps, the e-commerce company announced on Tuesday the launch of its recent AI-powered background-enhancement tool, which robotically removes image backgrounds and replaces them with a backdrop of your selecting, akin to having the product sit on a fancy-looking tabletop or a colourful background that reflects your specific brand. Amazon and Google released similar tools for advertisers last yr, letting brands leverage generative AI to create recent product imagery.
eBay’s background-enhancement tool may gain advantage sellers who lack the equipment or skills to take professional-looking or high-quality photos. It might also improve on eBay’s previous offering, which used computer vision technology to provide listing photos an easy, white background. The brand new AI feature is powered by the open source model Stable Diffusion.
The most recent announcement comes a yr after eBay introduced an AI feature that generates titles and descriptions for a product listing.
