Here are just a few reasons why Image-to-Layout is a useful tool for expediting your page-building experience:
Efficient store building: Typically, building and customizing a product page or landing page from the ground up while ensuring its alignment with your brand can span a few days. During peak seasons, this workload can monopolize your time and energy, diverting your attention from more crucial responsibilities. Image-to-Layout swiftly generates customizable layouts, saving hours that would otherwise be spent crafting layouts from scratch.
Suitable for all levels of expertise: Whether you’re a seasoned designer or a store owner with limited design expertise, Image-to-Layout remains beneficial. The feature helps you with one of the initial and trickiest steps in design: layout design. A well-structured layout enriches user engagement and navigation, simplifying information consumption and guiding visitors toward desired actions. Powered by AI, Image-to-Layout empowers you to craft professionally designed and easily navigable pages from references, without grappling with intricate technicalities.
Tailored customization: You have the autonomy to select the specific sections you want our AI feature to create. From there, you can effortlessly customize colors, fonts, and various design elements using our intuitive Editor. This not only ensures a cohesive brand identity but also results in a polished and visually captivating appearance that captures attention.
Image-to-Layout is accessible via GemPages version 7 and mix version - which means:

1. Access the GemPages app from Shopify
2. Find a reference

3. Open the Editor to access Image-to-Layout
From the Editor, there are two ways to access Image-to-Layout:
Once you are navigated to the Image-to-Layout window, insert the reference URL or image, then click “Generate” to create editable layouts.
5. Choose the Desired Generated Layout
In this step, you can choose which sections to generate. The number of generated sections varies based on different pricing plans. Keep in mind that the generated elements will use the GemPages element default setting.
6. Customize
Once the layouts are created, you can easily customize the page to fit your business needs using our Editor and an extensive list of elements. As you work on customizing your page, if you ever want to add more sections, simply navigate to the feature.
7. Publish your page
When you’re done with all the page customization and optimization tasks, it’s time to publish your first page generated by Image-to-Layout!
This section will guide you on how to provide the right inputs, which include images and URLs, to generate the most relevant and accurate layouts for your design.
Before uploading any reference to generate editable layouts, ensure your images follow these guidelines.
Only .jpeg, .jpg, and .png files are compatible. The file size should not exceed 20 MB and contains the English language only.
To achieve optimal results, avoid selecting a reference image with a gradient or multi-colored background. Instead, opt for a flat solid background. This will enhance the accuracy and quality of your generated layouts.
The image height should be less than 20,000 pixels and the width should be higher than 1,440 pixels to make sure the generated layouts are well-proportioned.
Before uploading your image, make sure it is in the correct orientation. If your image is saved upside-down, use image editing software to rotate it.
Be mindful of selecting a clean image that doesn't overlap with any elements like text or box, so you can receive an optimal result.
Upload a screenshot on the Desktop version of your preferred site, instead of the Mobile version. Our Editor will help you ensure your design looks professional on any device.
When taking screenshots, remember to avoid capturing the browser and only include the site design for optimal results.
Before choosing any URL to generate editable layouts, ensure your URLs follow these guidelines:
