Do you need custom/AI product images to avoid GMC issues? Or can you use supplier photos as-is?
Hey everyone Quick question about product images and GMC compliance, would love to hear from anyone who's dealt with this. I'm running my store and currently using supplier images for my product feed. I know GMC can be strict about image quality and originality, but I'm not sure where exactly the line is. A few things I'm wondering: 1. Do you need to swap out all product images with AI-generated or custom ones to stay safe with GMC, or is it only an issue if you're getting actual policy violations? 2. Can you get away with importing AliExpress or competitor images 1:1, or does that cause misrepresentation / image quality issues down the line? 3. What's the most efficient way to produce custom product images at scale? With a large catalog, doing this manually for every product feels like a massive time sink, curious if anyone has a good workflow (AI tools, batch editing, etc.) Any experience or tips appreciated, especially if you've managed to scale this without spending hours on every single product image. Thanks!
