gearsTemplates

The Templates page is your library of saved studio setups. A template captures the lighting, backdrop, camera settings, and saved camera positions from a project, and lets you apply that exact look to any model in your workspace.

Reach it at Asset Library → Templates, or directly at /library/templatesarrow-up-right.

For the deeper concept of what a template is and how it captures studio settings, see Creating and Using Templates. This page focuses on the library-page experience.

What's on the page

  • Toolbar — Count of templates, search, sort, and a Create Template button on the right.

  • Tabs / source filter — Toggle between Glossi (curated public templates by the Glossi team) and Your Templates (templates you've created from your own projects).

  • Template grid — Each card shows a hero render produced with the template, the template's name, and an avatar/badge indicating whether it's a Glossi template or one of yours. Hover any card to flip through a filmstrip of additional example renders.

  • Featured chip — Glossi-curated templates may carry a featured badge that surfaces them at the top of the library.

Filtering and finding

  • Glossi vs Your Templates — The source tab determines which templates are shown.

  • Search — Filter by template name.

  • Sort — Order by recency, name, or other template fields.

  • Favorite — Star templates to keep them surfaced in your favorites and on the homepage.

Opening a template

Click any template card to open the Template Details modal. Inside you can:

  • Preview the template's example renders in a full-bleed canvas.

  • Apply — Create a new project (or batch project) using this template's settings. From the modal:

    • Create Project — Pick a single model to apply the template to.

    • Create Batch Project — Pick multiple models; Glossi creates a separate project per model, all sharing the same template.

  • Sync — If you own the template and you've changed the settings in its source project since the template was created, the modal will show a one-line nudge offering to sync the latest project settings into the template.

  • Share — Copy a share link from the modal header to send the template's preview to teammates or clients.

  • Manage — Rename, edit metadata, or delete (your own templates only).

Creating a template

Templates are always created from an existing project — you can't build one from scratch. Click Create Template, give it a name, pick the source project whose settings you want to capture, and Glossi snapshots the project's current studio configuration into a reusable template.

For a step-by-step guide and best practices, see Creating and Using Templates.

Tips

  • Browse the Glossi tab first — The curated templates cover common product photography setups; you can copy one as a starting point rather than building from scratch.

  • Build category-specific templates — Different product categories benefit from different lighting and angles. A "Dining furniture" template won't make jewelry look right.

  • Sync regularly — When you make studio improvements in a source project, syncing the template forward keeps every downstream project consistent the next time the template is applied.
