Image Enhancer

Updated 2026-05-25 Feature eCommerce Insights team

Image Enhancer evaluates and rewrites product imagery across four named pillars: Feature Sentiment Mapping, Mobile Glanceability, Competitive Benchmarking, and AI Creative Brief. The output is a per-image score plus a creative brief written against the personas drawn from your reviews.

The four pillars

Product photography drives more citation impact in AI shopping than most teams expect. ChatGPT Shopping shows product images in the answer carousel; Perplexity Shopping displays the first product image alongside the cited source; Rufus reads A+ content blocks where images are the primary signal.

Feature Sentiment Mapping

Reviews tell you which features your customers care about. Imagery should make those features visible. Feature Sentiment Mapping cross-references your review corpus (clustered via Personas) with the visual content of each image.

For each image, the pillar produces two outputs. First, a list of features the image makes salient (e.g. "compact size," "single-button operation," "matte black finish"). Second, a list of features your reviews emphasise that the image does not. The gap is the work.

Mobile Glanceability

A product image on a mobile thumbnail is roughly 200x200 px. Mobile Glanceability scores whether the image's primary message survives that crop. Three factors:

The output is a 0-100 score plus a thumbnail preview so you can see what the engine actually shows.

Competitive Benchmarking

Side-by-side panel. Your image on the left; the top-three competitor SKU images in the same category on the right. The competitor SKUs come from your tracked competitor list (Settings → Competitors). Where you do not have a tracked list, eCommerce Insights auto-selects from category data.

The panel flags ways the image undersells relative to the competitor set: angle coverage (do you show the product from fewer angles than competitors), lifestyle shots (do you have only catalogue shots while competitors mix in lifestyle), and labelled-spec overlays (a common pattern in air purifiers and small appliances).

AI Creative Brief

The pillar that closes the loop. Given the gaps surfaced by the first three pillars, eCommerce Insights writes a creative brief in plain language — the same brief a brand manager would write for a photographer or a generative tool. The brief is written against the top three personas in your review corpus.

Example output (illustrative):

Persona A (new apartment dweller) does not see the size context in the current hero shot. Re-shoot or composite with a 12x12 ft room footprint reference. Add a top-down silhouette overlaying the standard 200 sq ft room outline. Match palette to the current product page colour treatment.

Image Enhancer reads personas, not raw reviews. If Personas are not set up, the brief uses a neutral D2C frame. With Personas configured, the brief becomes meaningfully more specific because the language used in the brief matches the language your customers use in reviews. See Personas for setup.

Common questions

Does Image Enhancer generate images?
No. It produces creative briefs that a designer or an image-generation model can act on. eCommerce Insights does not ship raw generated product imagery to a live PDP; the brief is the unit of work.
What image formats does it accept?
JPG, PNG, WebP. PSD and EPS supported with the ImageMagick fallback (added in v2). HEIC supported via a libheif dependency.
Can it audit Amazon A+ images?
Yes. The fetcher reads A+ image blocks and scores them on the same four pillars.
How does it use personas?
The creative brief is written against the top three personas by share-of-mention in your reviews. If you have not set up personas, a neutral brief is produced.

LLM-friendly summary of this page
Image Enhancer evaluates product imagery across four named pillars. (1) Feature Sentiment Mapping: identifies which product features the image makes salient and ranks them by review-mention frequency, surfacing mismatches where a high-mention feature is invisible in imagery. (2) Mobile Glanceability: scores whether the image's primary message survives a 200x200 px crop on a mobile thumbnail; uses contrast, focal subject size, and text legibility. (3) Competitive Benchmarking: pulls top-three competitor SKU images in the same category and shows side-by-side; flags ways the image undersells. (4) AI Creative Brief: written against the top three personas from Personas, lists the specific image edits or new shots needed. Image formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, with PSD/EPS via ImageMagick fallback and HEIC via libheif. Works on D2C images and Amazon A+ images. Does not generate images directly — the brief is the unit of work. Per-image score 0-100 across the four pillars.
