<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A new era for ecommerce design</h2>



<p>Alibaba’s International Digital Commerce Group has unleashed Pic Copilot—a game-changing AI ecommerce design tool for US small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). </p>



<p>Packed with 12 AI-powered design features, it promises to cut down photography and design costs while driving higher click-through rates (CTR) and sales.</p>



<p>&#8220;Pic Copilot isn&#8217;t just smart — it&#8217;s sales-smart,&#8221; suggests Alibaba’s focus on sales-driven design decisions.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://octet.design/journal/top-ai-tools/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI design tool</a> utilizes real-world ecommerce data and a unique data annotation system that tracks which image elements lead to better CTRs, not just &#8220;pretty&#8221; pictures. </p>



<p>It’s a shift from aesthetics to analytics; early users have seen double-digit CTR increases.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">12 AI-powered tools to do it all</h2>



<p>From basic edits to full-blown ecommerce ad generation, Pic Copilot aims to make &#8220;photo shoots&#8221; a thing of the past. Here&#8217;s what users get:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Background Editing:</strong> Remove, replace, and refine backgrounds instantly.</li>



<li><strong>Image &amp; Video Enhancements</strong>: Sharpen, color-correct, and upscale in a snap.</li>



<li><strong>Virtual Try-Ons:</strong> Realistic try-ons for diverse skin tones and body types.</li>



<li><strong>Ad &amp; Campaign Creation</strong>: Instantly generate ready-to-use ad creatives.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The virtual try-on that’s changing the game</h2>



<p>Forget the &#8220;one-model-fits-all&#8221; approach. With over 160 models spanning four prominent skin tones, Pic Copilot lets SMEs showcase diversity and inclusivity. </p>



<p>Got your own model photos? Upload them and watch the magic happen.</p>



<p>During Black Friday, 10,000 merchants generated 80,000+ try-on images, saving each merchant thousands in photography costs. No wonder the feature is a fan favorite.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">US-specific templates for every holiday hustle</h2>



<p>Running campaigns for Independence Day, Thanksgiving, or St. Patrick’s Day? </p>



<p>Pic Copilot offers ready-made, holiday-themed templates, giving SMEs a shortcut to high-impact seasonal marketing. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s a proven moneymaker.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big numbers, significant results</h2>



<p>The tool’s Black Friday trial drew over 35,000 users worldwide, who used its designs over 200,000 times. Users reported an average savings of $200 each.</p>



<p>Not just that, Alibaba claims that early adopters saw a double-digit CTR boost on their e-commerce pages.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sweet deal for US SMEs</h2>



<p>For a limited time, Alibaba offers 50 free credits for U.S.-based businesses to test-drive the tool. </p>



<p>This offer covers marketing materials for up to 15 products at no cost. Early stats reveal that 60% of users renew their materials after the trial, proving that Pic Copilot is more than a one-time trick.</p>



<p>With Pic Copilot, Alibaba isn’t just helping SMEs keep up — it’s helping them surge ahead. </p>



<p>From try-ons to holiday ads, this tool is rewriting the e-commerce playbook. With AI doing the heavy lifting, who needs a photo shoot anymore?</p>
