Create product photos with visual shortcodes
Twelve categories, from /studio white to /drone show. Teach ChatGPT the mapping once, then upload a product photo and type a code.
By Alan Brown · Works with ChatGPT
270 shortcodes for product visuals, in 12 categories. None of them are built into ChatGPT — you teach it the mapping once, then upload a product photo and type a code.

- 🎨 Lock your brand once. Give it your palette, font and tone at the top of a Project, and every code after that stays on brand.
- ⚡ Batch. "Run /studio white, /in hand and /amazon main on this product" gets you a listing set in one go.
- 👇 All 270 are in the block below, with the setup instruction on top. Copy the whole thing into a Project's instructions once.
Context & limitations
One code collides. /timeline is on this sheet as a milestone graphic, and also in 100 shorthand codes for Claude where it means map this to real dates. Paste both legends into the same Project and that one is ambiguous — rename it in one sheet, or keep them in separate Projects. Every other slash code across the two is unique; I checked all 366.
The text-heavy codes are the unreliable ones. /spec sheet, /pricing table, /comparison chart, /size chart, /brand guidelines — image models still misspell a term or drop a digit, and the result looks exactly as polished as a correct one. Fine for showing someone the layout. Read every character before it goes near a live listing.
And five of these generate proof rather than pictures: /testimonial card, /review overlay, /social proof wall, /press logos and /cert badges. As a placeholder while you wait for the real thing, fine. Published as though it were real, it is an invented endorsement — which in most markets is the kind of advertising claim that gets a business in trouble rather than just an awkward conversation.
