What Save does for Mercado Libre

  • Crops each photo around the model to 1:1.28 at full height, with no bars and no blurred fill, and previews the crop before you download.
  • Saves it as JPEG and keeps the file under the limit (10 MB) by lowering the JPEG quality until it fits.
  • If none of your photos has a light grey background, Save offers a grey version of a photo you already made for 5 credits. Ghost mannequin photos are cut out onto the grey for you.
  • Puts every download in a folder for the site, in upload order, and carries an AI-image tag inside each file.

Made in the Torbilo app from an unbranded demonstration product photo; the model is AI-generated. Every tile is the same height: each shape is a crop of the square photo, never an enlargement. In the app you preview the exact crop of your own photo before you download.
