Snap one photo of whatever you're selling and Hero turns it into clean studio shots from every angle, including on-model and mannequin-style images for clothing. Live on iOS and Android, with an API and MCP server so developers and AI agents can build on it.
Hey Product Hunt, Joshua here, co-founder and CEO of Hero.
We built Hero because selling something online is still far more work than it should be. You have to figure out what the item is, what it is worth, how to describe it, where to post it, and somehow take photos that do not look like they were shot at 11pm under bad kitchen lighting.
That last part matters more than people think. Bad photos make good items look cheap. Good photos make buyers trust what they are seeing.
So today we are launching Hero Studio Photos. Take one ordinary item photo and Hero turns it into clean studio shots from every angle, while keeping the real details buyers care about. For clothing, that can include on-model and mannequin-style shots. For electronics and everything else, it means better lighting, cleaner backgrounds, and photos that look ready to list. No setup, backdrop, or editing skills.
It is part of the bigger Hero flow: snap a photo, identify the item, price it, write the listing, and get it ready to sell. One tap and it's live on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and the Hero Shop.
Also new today:
- Android: Hero is now on iOS and Android in the US, Canada, and Australia.
- Hero Shop: eligible public listings get extra distribution with no extra posting.
- API + MCP access: developers, marketplaces, and agents can identify, price, write listings, and generate product assets from real-world goods.
The bigger idea is simple. If AI is going to help people buy, it should help ordinary people sell the things sitting around them too.
I would love feedback on:
- Whether Studio Photos makes you more likely to list something
- Which categories we should nail first: clothing, electronics, collectibles, home goods, or something else
- What builders would want from the API and MCP
Thanks for taking a look. We will be here all day answering questions.
Here are some more examples. It's quite magical and fascinating each time.
YETI tumbler
The logo was cut off in the original photo
The tumbler had chipped paint and scratches
Studio Photos recognized the logo and kept the blemishes
Cat Toy / Highchair
Studio Photos is context-aware
For in-use shots, it will match the intended use of the item
Here are two examples
Is Hero Studio Photos getting it right all the time? Absolutely not. But for the majority of items, it gets it right. It's also not necessarily the right tool for all listings all the time (e.g., luxury or authentic items)
We’ve been busy and there are so many things in this launch to be excited about!
Great photos make all the difference when selling stuff online. Our new Studio Photos feature relights, reframes, and cleans up images even if you’re snapping photos on the go (or in the bins!). Studio Photos are also context dependent - if you scan clothing then you’ll see virtual try on and ghost mannequin images in addition to standard views like isolated white background.
We’re finally live for Android on the Google Play Store! This has been our most requested feature and we’re happy to be delivering a native Android experience for all of you.
We’re also opening up API + MCP access to give your agents the ability to sell real things with just a single image. A single tool call identifies and prices the item, generates listing details like title, description and attributes and even generates Studio Photos. Apply for access at herostuff.com/api
If you have sold anything online, you know that taking photos is a big time suck. I recently sold my Apple Watch, and Hero handled everything… the identification, pricing, title, description, and full set of photos all from a single photo 📸 Literally one-shotted the whole thing without edits. It sold within 48h. Here is the original listing.
Love that Hero handles pricing, descriptions, and posting along with the photos, so many steps simplified in one tap.
Biased, but Studio Photos is such a great feature and you should try it at least once :)
