Why it goes viral

Neon product shots feel premium and editorial, brands that post them see outsized save rates because followers screenshot them as moodboard inspo.

How to use it

Take a clean product photo on a white or neutral background. Upload it as an init image in Flux 1.1 with denoising strength around 0.55–0.65. Paste the prompt, replacing [your product] with a concise description (e.g., 'a matte black perfume bottle'). Generate a batch of 4, selecting the image with the cleanest neon split across the product surface. Fine-tune the winning image with a second pass at lower denoising (0.3) to sharpen product details.

Pro tips

Photograph your product on a white background first and use it as an init image in Flux at strength 0.6 to preserve the shape. For drinks or bottles, replace 'acrylic surface' with 'wet black marble' for premium liquid reflections. Keep the prompt's lighting colors consistent with your brand palette, swap pink/cyan for your brand's primary and secondary. Use Flux 1.1's img2img mode rather than text-only for far more accurate product shape retention. Generate at 1024x1024, then upscale with Topaz Gigapixel or the Flux upscaler for print-ready quality.
