A photo that works has already solved the setting, the light and the angle. Product swap keeps that frame and places your product where the original stood, with shadows, reflections and contact points rebuilt for the new object instead of pasted on top.
It works on a competitor ad, a stock lifestyle photo or one of your own older shots. Logos, brand names and copy from the original stay out; the composition stays in.
How it works
1Upload the photo or ad. One clear product in a simple scene swaps most cleanly.
2Add your product: one you saved in Kive, or a clean product photo. The result is anchored to it.
3Say what to keep. Kive redraws light and shadows for your product, then you download or keep iterating.
Photos to put your product into
Lifestyle product photos place the product in a real moment: a bag on a cafe chair, sneakers on a doorstep, a skincare bottle on a sunlit bathroom shelf. These ideas show the product in use or in context so shoppers can picture it in their own life.
Product swap keeps the frame you chose and puts your product where the original one stood, with shadows and reflections redrawn for the new object.

Works on ads and photos alike
A competitor ad, a stock lifestyle photo or an older shot of your own: the composition and the light carry over, the original product, logo and copy do not.

Your product stays accurate
The swap is anchored to your product photo, not redrawn from a description, so the same product can be swapped into many scenes and stay consistent.

Common questions
Yes. Upload the photo, add a clean image of your product and ask Kive to replace the product shown. It keeps the scene and rebuilds light, shadows and contact points around your product, so the result reads as one photograph rather than a cutout.
You can use an ad as the scene. Kive keeps its composition and lighting and puts your product in place of the original one; logos, brand names and the original copy are replaced. Reusing an idea or a layout is generally fine, the original photo and copy belong to their owner, so replace them. This is general information, not legal advice.
A photo with one clear product and a simple scene swaps most faithfully. Busy collages, several products or a product held at an unusual angle are harder. For your product, a clean, evenly lit shot on a plain background works best.
Yes. The Kive Free plan comes with credits once you verify your email, enough for a few swaps before you choose a plan.
