What is Solaya?
Solaya is an AI-powered 3D scanning and content creation platform that transforms simple smartphone scans of physical products into high-quality 3D models, studio-ready images, videos, 360° views, and AR experiences. The platform eliminates the need for traditional photoshoots or post-production work, helping brands save time, money, and resources while scaling their visual content production.
Key features include a 3-minute product scan process, proprietary AI algorithms that process scans to maximize output quality, and the ability to generate unlimited images, videos, angles, and styles from a single scan. The platform produces 3D models suitable for virtual try-on experiences and 3D commerce applications, high-resolution packshots, lifestyle images, and short-form videos optimized for ads and social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Meta Ads, and Pinterest.
Solaya delivers impressive metrics including 65% time saving, 80% cost reduction, 50% conversion increase, and 21% decrease in return rates. The platform is purpose-built for e-commerce visuals and is trusted by companies like LVMH, Mattel, and Karl Lagerfeld.
