Examples that consistently perform in user testing include “AI-generated image”, “AI-altered photo”, and “Contains AI-generated product photo”. This is a copy-and-paste library of labels you can use today — plus the ones to avoid, and starter translations for EU markets. 18 June 2026 5 min read The best AI label is the one a shopper understands the moment they see it. That rules out internal creative terms, vague marketing language, and abbreviations that require explanation. The examples below are ready-to-use across Shopify product pages and product cards. ## Recommended labels (English) - `AI-generated image` - `AI-altered photo` - `Contains AI-generated product photo` - `Product image generated with AI` - `Product photo altered with AI` - `Generated with AI` - `Modified with AI` ## Labels to avoid - `Enhanced` — every retouched photo is "enhanced". Not a disclosure. - `Virtual` — ambiguous; could mean AR, 3D, or nothing. - `Synthetic` without further explanation. - `AI` as a two-letter badge or icon-only. - `Creative representation` when the AI involvement is not clear. - `Digitally rendered` — sounds like traditional CGI, doesn't signal AI. ## Suggested wording by scenario Scenario Suggested label Fully AI-generated hero image `AI-generated image` Real product photo, AI-swapped background `AI-altered photo` Real product, AI-generated model `AI-altered photo` Gallery mixes real + AI images Label each AI image; card badge `Contains AI-generated product photo` Seasonal AI-generated lifestyle scene `AI-generated image` ## Starter translations for EU markets For multi-language stores, translated labels reduce ambiguity. These are practical starter translations — validate with a native speaker if you're publishing to that market. ### German (DE / AT) - `KI-generiertes Bild` - `Mit KI verändertes Foto` - `Enthält KI-generiertes Produktbild` ### French (FR / BE) - `Image générée par IA` - `Photo modifiée par IA` - `Contient une image de produit générée par IA` ### Polish (PL) - `Obraz wygenerowany przez AI` - `Zdjęcie zmienione przez AI` - `Zawiera zdjęcie produktu wygenerowane przez AI` ### Spanish (ES) - `Imagen generada por IA` - `Foto modificada con IA` ### Italian (IT) - `Immagine generata dall'IA` - `Foto modificata con IA` ### Dutch (NL) - `Door AI gegenereerde afbeelding` - `Met AI bewerkte foto` ## Pair label text with reference icons Once your wording is set, you can pair the text with an official visual mark. See our [labels page](/labels) for direct downloads of the European Commission's icon set and the community-maintained ai-label.org image pack. ## Related reading - [How to label AI-generated product images on Shopify](/blog/how-to-label-ai-generated-product-images-shopify) — end-to-end workflow. - [AI-generated vs AI-altered product photos](/blog/ai-generated-vs-ai-altered-product-photos) — which label to pick. - [Where should AI labels appear on Shopify product pages?](/blog/where-should-ai-labels-appear-shopify-product-pages) — placement rules. - [Shopify AI Act checklist](/shopify-ai-act-checklist) — the 12-point rollout list.

FAQ ## Frequently asked questions Should the label say “generated” or “altered”?+ Use “generated” when the image is substantially AI-created. Use “altered” when a real photo was materially changed with AI. If a gallery mixes both, label each image individually. Can the label be branded?+ Brand styling — colors, typography, corner radius — is fine as long as the disclosure remains clear, readable, and distinguishable. WCAG 2.1 AA contrast (4.5:1) is the floor. Should I translate the label for multi-market stores?+ Yes, ideally. Localised labels are easier for shoppers to understand at first glance, and align with the EU Code of Practice principle that disclosures must be understandable to the audience. Is “AI” alone enough?+ No. A two-letter abbreviation with no verb doesn't tell the shopper what happened. Pair it with a verb: “AI-generated”, “AI-altered”, “Generated with AI”. Can I use emoji or symbols?+ Not on their own. Emoji or symbols can accompany text, but the disclosure must be readable and unambiguous without them (screen reader users won't hear a decorative symbol). What about product videos or lifestyle reels?+ AI-generated or AI-altered video should be labeled with equivalent wording — for example “AI-generated video” or “Contains AI-generated footage”. Video labeling is on our roadmap; the MVP covers product photos. ## Add visible AI labels to your Shopify product photos EU AI Label launches August 1, 2026 — right before the EU AI Act enforcement deadline.
