About this recipe
This recipe auto-crops on-model apparel photos to Zalando's 1800×2600 (9:13) standard: model centered with 8% padding on all sides, AI-generated studio grey background with generative fill, and output at 300 DPI in JPG - print-ready and submission-compliant in one automated pass. It fits naturally into a multi-retailer workflow alongside our on-figure crop recipes for ASOS, Myntra, and Nordstrom and works seamlessly after our bulk background remover if your originals still carry studio or lifestyle backdrops.
Use cases
- Meet Zalando's 1800×2600 supplier image submission standard at scale
- Batch-process new apparel collections before a Zalando catalog upload
- Replace inconsistent studio backgrounds with Zalando's required grey finish
- Standardize on-model shots across a mixed-format SKU range
Tips for best result
- Use full-length originals where the model's feet are visible for the cleanest 9:13 crop
- Generative fill is enabled - missing background areas around the model are completed automatically
- 300 DPI output makes images print-ready for Zalando's high-quality vendor submission requirements
- Works on studio shots, plain backgrounds, and lifestyle images - the grey background is AI-generated regardless of input
