Kive

Kive is an AI product photography and campaign content platform for e-commerce brands, built by TO LABS AB and used by more than 10,000 brands. It generates accurate product shots, lifestyle scenes, campaign imagery and product videos from a brand's own assets, using a large catalogue of professionally curated visual presets ("studios") tuned to categories such as fashion, cosmetics, skincare, jewellery and footwear. The platform pairs generation with a creative asset library, AI-powered search, boards, custom-trained subject models, bulk catalogue generation and editing tools (background removal and replacement, canvas extension, upscaling). Kive publishes no public REST API; its programmable surface is an OAuth-protected Model Context Protocol server at mcp.kive.ai that lets agents browse workspaces and products and create images and videos on the user's credits.

Kive publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Software-as-a-Service, Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, and Creative.

Kive’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, changelog, pricing, signup flow, and 27 more developer resources.
