Amazon A+ Content Images: Module Prompts That Leave Claims Empty

An Amazon A+ Content image is a module still, not a listing MAIN and not a social ad. Pick the module first. Generate the product and the empty layout. Leave headlines, callouts, comparison numbers, and brand-name bars empty. Overlay verified type in an editor. Do not let the model invent “#1 bestseller,” “clinically proven,” or a 970-pixel banner of fake spec text. Amazon’s own A+ help page (as of 2026) lists Basic A+ images around 970 × 300 and Premium A+ around 1464 × 600, RGB JPEG/PNG/BMP under 2 MB, no GIFs, watermarks, QR codes, or hyperlinks. OpenAI launched ChatGPT Images 2.5 on September 8, 2026, and said it handles more complex layouts and short text more reliably. FreeGPTImg is a GPT Image 2 workspace: 20 daily free credits, no credit card required. Overlay real claims. Never generate a comparison chart you cannot prove.

Draft the still in FreeGPTImg. Keep the SKU honest in AI product photography, cut a catalog hero in the Amazon product photo generator, lock a white field in the white-background product photo tool, stage a lifestyle crop with the lifestyle product photo generator, sketch a feature strip in the AI infographic maker, recrop a square or story frame in AI social media ads, stay on GPT Image 2 for the loop in front of you, and invent the first scene in AI text-to-image. Do not reuse a MAIN gallery still as A+ and do not stuff six SKUs into one 970-pixel band.

What an A+ module actually does

Shoppers who open A+ have already clicked the listing. They are not scanning a search thumbnail. They are reading below the fold: what is in the box, how it is used, how it differs from the next ASIN. A MAIN image sells the identity of the product in search. A gallery image sells extra angles. An A+ module sells one answered question in a named crop.

Amazon requires A+ images to be unique to that content. Do not recycle the same MAIN or gallery file into a module. Do not add watermarks, QR codes, or outbound links. Do not upload CMYK print files. Recheck the live A+ Content help page in Seller Central before you export; module names and pixel boxes can change.

ChatGPT Images 2.5 can keep a subject while you change one object. That is useful for swapping a hero SKU across two modules. It is not permission to invent a five-column comparison with made-up scores. FreeGPTImg runs GPT Image 2. Write the model you used into the file name.

Do not prompt competitor wordmarks, Amazon Choice badges, Prime logos, or “Amazon’s Choice” ribbons. Do not drop celebrity faces or copyrighted mascots into a feature strip. Photorealistic AI people are a separate policy: if a marketplace requires a contains-synthetic-performer tag in IPTC/XMP, apply it in an editor. Do not treat that tag as a substitute for a real model release.

Pick one module before you generate

Weak A+ sets fail because they ask for a 1464-pixel lifestyle, a comparison table, four icons, and a warranty paragraph in one pass. Name the slot first.

Module job	Working crop	Start from	Change one thing	Keep	Wrong move
Basic header / image-and-text	970 × 300	One SKU, even light, quiet sides	The product only	Empty headline band, empty body block	Readable invented claims
Premium full-width hero	1464 × 600	One SKU or one in-use scene	Lighting or angle only	Empty left or right type column	A second ASIN from memory
Feature row (three or four tiles)	Square tiles, then recrop	One object per tile	The object only	Empty caption strip under each	Tiny generated “10x faster” labels
Comparison chart still	Tall product columns	One real SKU per column	Column order only	Empty cells for numbers	Fake scores, fake “winner” crowns
Lifestyle / in-use module	1464 × 600 or 800 × 600 class	The same SKU in a real room	Scene only	Product scale, empty caption	Props you do not ship
Brand-story card	Portrait card	One product or one original scene	Crop only	Empty name plate	Cloning another brand’s packaging

A Basic 970 × 300 band is not a Premium 1464 × 600 hero. Generate large, then recrop in an editor to the exact box A+ Content Manager shows next to that template. Overlay real words later. Names, URLs, prices, “clinically tested,” and “limited-time” never belong in the generator if they must be exact.

MAIN still has its own rules: a realistic image of the actual product, typically on pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255), product filling most of the frame, no extra graphics. Keep MAIN, gallery, and A+ as three exports.

A+ module workflow

Use the same sequence in product-photo tools, a GPT Image 2 tab, or ChatGPT Images 2.5.

1. Write the module in five lines. ASIN truth (one SKU), module name, crop, empty type zones, the single buyer question this module answers. If you cannot say it in five lines, the frame will clutter.
2. Choose one hero, not a catalog. One bottle, one pan, one kit. Extra SKUs live in other modules or in empty cells you fill after generation.
3. Lock empty type zones. Headline band. Subhead strip. Bullet gutter. Comparison cells. Footer. Ask for no readable numbers, no fake badges.
4. Write keep / change / do-not. Keep the product silhouette and materials. Change only lighting or one accessory that ships in the box. Do not add logos, seals, QR codes, Prime marks, or extra products.
5. Match the crop. 970 × 300 for many Basic headers. 1464 × 600 for many Premium full-width modules. Square tiles for feature rows. Do not stretch a square MAIN into a 3:1 banner.
6. Inspect the product before the layout. Wrong colorway, extra ports, or a lid you do not sell are stop conditions.
7. Overlay copy last. In an editor, set the real headline, the real bullets, and only the comparison numbers a manager signed. Keep files under 2 MB, RGB, JPEG or PNG.
8. Test at phone width. Hold the module at about 375 pixels wide. If the empty boxes collapsed or the product became a sliver, regenerate with larger gutters. Do not ship a MAIN file as A+.

OpenAI’s Images 2.5 notes still help if you never open ChatGPT: keep the subject, edit one element, expect earlier choices to survive later turns. That is an A+ rule. Swap the hero SKU. Do not redraw the whole brand story.

Prompt formula

Amazon A+ Content module still, not a MAIN listing image and not a social ad.
Product: one [SKU], accurate color, scale, and included accessories only.
Module: [Basic 970x300 header / Premium 1464x600 hero / three-tile feature row / comparison columns].
Light: even catalog light or one honest room, no neon, no fake studio fog.
Keep: empty headline band, empty subhead strip, empty bullet gutter, empty comparison cells.
Change only: the product in front of you.
Text in image: none. No prices, percentages, “#1”, QR codes, watermarks, or Amazon badges.
Do not add: competitor marks, Prime logos, extra SKUs, celebrity likenesses, props not in the box.

Prompt examples

Basic 970 × 300 header. “Create a wide 970 by 300 catalog still of one matte stainless water bottle, centered-left, even studio light, soft gray-to-white field. Large empty headline band on the right third. No readable type, no logos, no condensation text, no Prime badge, no extra bottles.”

Premium 1464 × 600 in-use hero. “Premium A+ full-width still, 1464 by 600. One original ceramic pour-over kettle on a wood counter, morning window light, the kettle filling most of the left half. Right third fully empty for overlay type. Accurate spout and handle. No brand wordmarks, no steam slogans, no second kettle, no lifestyle food pile that is not in the listing.”

Three-tile feature row. “Three separate square product stills, one object each: lid, filter, and carrying loop of the same original bottle. Even light, quiet background, empty caption strip under each object. No generated ‘BPA free’ or ‘24h cold’ labels. No extra accessories.”

Comparison columns, empty cells. “A+ comparison still with three tall columns. Left column is our original kettle only. Middle and right columns are generic silhouette placeholders, not real competitor products. All number cells empty. No crowns, no checkmarks, no readable spec text.”

If the first still splits into two products or invents a badge you do not own, shorten the prompt. One SKU. Then retry. Free retry exists on FreeGPTImg when a generation misses. Use it on the same five-line brief, not a new brand book.

Crops you should not guess

Generate the still large. Recrop in an editor. Recheck the live A+ Content Manager box before you upload; Amazon resizes files that exceed a template and does not invent missing pixels for files that are too small.

Slot	Working crop	What belongs there	What does not
Listing MAIN	Square, product-led, white field	One real SKU, no extra graphics	A+ banners, lifestyle rooms, sale badges
Gallery / secondary	Square or 4:5	Angle, scale, or in-box contents	Reused A+ headers
Basic A+ header	970 × 300	One idea, empty type	Dense paragraphs baked into pixels
Premium A+ hero	1464 × 600	One scene, empty column	A second ASIN, QR codes
Feature tiles	300 × 300 class	One object per tile	Four claims per tile
Comparison	Tall columns	Real SKUs you sell, empty cells	Invented “winner” graphics
Social / email	1:1 or wide	Recrop of the same hero	Shipping an A+ JPEG as a Story

A+ is not a replacement for MAIN. If the listing has no compliant main image, Amazon may suppress the product from search until one exists. Do not “fix” a missing MAIN by uploading a 1464-pixel lifestyle into the first slot.

Review the pixels before you ship

Zoom to 100%. A laptop detail page hides a second logo.

• Product honesty. Same color, count, ports, and included accessories. If a stranger would think this is another brand’s kettle, discard the still.
• Empty type. Headlines, bullets, and comparison cells stay empty. Generated “50% stronger” is a stop, not a starting point.
• MAIN vs A+. White-background heroes stay in MAIN. Wide banners stay in A+. Do not cross-upload.
• Uniqueness. A+ files should not be the same files already in the image gallery.
• Marks and people. No Amazon badges, no cloned competitor packaging, no recognizable people you cannot clear. If you used a photorealistic generated person, follow the current disclosure rule in Seller Central.
• File hygiene. RGB, JPEG or PNG, under 2 MB, no GIF, no CMYK, no watermark, no QR. Preview on a phone.
• Provenance and rights. OpenAI still uses C2PA metadata and an invisible watermark on GPT Image outputs. Downstream apps may keep, strip, or flag that data. You also need rights to the product design. A prettier lid is not a license.

Limitations you should not skip

A generated module is not Seller Central clearance, not Brand Registry approval, and not a legal claim. Do not upload someone else’s packaging “to see the style.” Do not ask the model to imitate a celebrity, a copyrighted mascot, or another company’s comparison chart. If a platform requires AI disclosure, follow that policy.

ChatGPT Images 2.5 is not GPT Image 2. On FreeGPTImg you are in a GPT Image 2 loop with product-photo tools. Better subject preservation is not an infinite remix. If turn three redraws the spout, revert.

Do not generate medical, financial, or “clinically proven” badges. Do not invent dual prices. Do not treat a lifestyle room as proof that a bundle includes the table, the fruit, or the linen. Recheck Amazon’s live A+ and product-image help pages for the marketplace you ship to; US, EU, and JP pages can differ.

FAQ

What is an Amazon A+ Content image?

It is a below-the-fold module still: one SKU, one crop, empty claim bands, then overlay in an editor. It is not the listing MAIN. FreeGPTImg runs this on GPT Image 2, with 20 daily free credits and no credit card required.

What size should Amazon A+ images be in 2026?

Amazon’s A+ help page lists Basic A+ around 970 × 300 and Premium A+ around 1464 × 600 as planning sizes, RGB JPEG/PNG/BMP, under 2 MB, minimum 72 dpi. Individual modules show their own boxes in A+ Content Manager. Recheck that box before export.

Should I generate the headline and “#1” badge in the image?

No. Leave those rectangles empty. Overlay the real headline and only the claims a manager signed. Invented badges are a review fail and a policy risk.

Can I reuse my MAIN or gallery photo in A+?

Amazon says A+ images should be unique to that content and not the same files already published in the gallery. Generate a new crop. Do not stretch a square MAIN into a 970-pixel banner.

Can I use a photorealistic AI person in an A+ lifestyle module?

Only if the person is cleared and you follow the current Amazon disclosure rule for photorealistic AI-generated people, including the contains-synthetic-performer IPTC/XMP keyword where required. Prefer empty rooms or a real, released model.

Why did the model add a Prime badge and a second bottle?

The prompt asked for a “best Amazon listing” or a “bundle.” Shorten it. One SKU. Empty type. Generate again. If the lid still drifts, lock a white-background hero first, then build the wide module from that still.

Make one module on FreeGPTImg

Write five lines for one SKU and one A+ box. Ask for empty headline and claim bands. Open FreeGPTImg, run the job in AI product photography or the Amazon product photo generator, stay on GPT Image 2 when that is the model in front of you, and overlay the real bullets only after the still looks like the product you ship.
