Refabric alternative
Refabric and RAWSHOT: two approaches to an apparel shoot
Compare two ways to turn apparel item photos into on-model imagery.
Published: Updated:
The short answer
Both start from clothing-item photos. Refabric documents selectable AI model groups; its reviewed guide does not establish real-person use, while RAWSHOT uses synthetic models only. RAWSHOT holds the rest of the composition when one element changes and adds C2PA credentials to every output.
- Refabric is built for
- Garment-photo workflows with selectable model groups and garment-mask controls.
- RAWSHOT is built for
- Fashion teams configuring the model, product, styling, light, and composition before each image.

Questions
Refabric and RAWSHOT FAQs
Can I create apparel photos from clothing-item photos?
Yes. Both workflows start from clothing-item photos: Refabric documents dressing garments onto selected models, and RAWSHOT accepts product photos alongside flat-lays, mockups, and technical sketches. Choose the workflow whose documented inputs match the files you have.
When is Refabric a better choice than RAWSHOT?
Refabric may be a better fit when you need brush-and-eraser adjustments to garment masks during image preparation. Its help pages document those editor controls. RAWSHOT offers a configurable photoshoot, but its product details do not specify equivalent garment-mask controls. If manual mask adjustment is required in your process, Refabric’s documented editor controls may fit that task more directly.
Which models can I use in Refabric and RAWSHOT?
Refabric’s photoshoot guide lists selectable male and female AI model groups. RAWSHOT uses synthetic composite models only, with no real-person likeness referenced. It documents 1,197 models and a private model builder. If your project requires a specific known individual, the Refabric guide does not confirm that use, so verify the casting requirement before choosing a workflow.
Can I use Refabric and RAWSHOT images commercially?
Refabric’s terms assign its rights in outputs made using subscriber input to the subscriber, subject to the terms. RAWSHOT grants full and permanent commercial rights to every generation, with no ongoing licensing fees on library models. Review Refabric’s terms for applicable conditions and confirm they fit your intended use before publishing.
How do I switch from Refabric to RAWSHOT?
The product information reviewed does not establish a direct transfer path, so plan to bring your product inputs into RAWSHOT separately. RAWSHOT accepts product photos, flat-lays, mockups, and technical sketches. Keep your original files and configure the shoot choices you need. Test a representative item from your range before switching your workflow.
