The AI photo studio for Saudi fashion and product brands
Lenci is a virtual photo studio by the Saudi company Siyada Technology, made for fashion and product brands in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. You choose the model, set, lighting, camera and effects, then take the photo for free with your own ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok account. No Lenci credits are used; your AI provider's limits apply.

How Lenci works
Lenci works like a real photo studio, inside your browser: you arrange the scene step by step and see an instant preview before anything is generated, then you choose the AI that makes the final picture.
- Build the scene: choose the person or the product, then the set, time of day, lighting, camera angle, framing and effects, and add photos of your real product as references.
- Shoot with your own AI: Lenci writes the instructions and prepares one picture that combines the scene preview with your references, then opens ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok so you can attach it and send.
- Bring the photo back to your library: paste it into Lenci, drop it, or upload it from your phone with a QR code, and it is saved in your library with the scene that made it.
- Publish with a plan: edit the photo and crop it to each platform's size in the Editor, then plan the month's posts with Nawaa.
Shoot free with your own ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok
You need no API key and no Lenci credits: you use your own account in the AI you prefer, and the image is generated in that account. Shooting this way is therefore free on Lenci, and your AI provider's limits and charges apply under your plan with them.
Lenci writes the instructions for you and prepares the reference board, so you do not have to type a long description every time.
If you would rather generate inside Lenci, you can use Lenci credits; the number of credits shows before every shot.
The steps in detail, with a real example of the instructions, are on Shoot with your own ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok.
What you can shoot
Lenci is built for what Saudi stores sell on Instagram, Snapchat and in their Salla and Zid shops. Pick your category to see the sets, settings and ready looks that suit it:
- Abayas and modest fashion: on a model with or without hijab, in Saudi sets such as Diriyah and the Jeddah corniche.
- Perfume, oud and bakhoor: on marble or in the palace hall, with smoke or a water splash.
- Cosmetics and skincare: calm still lifes or beauty close-ups with a model.
- Jewellery and watches: on black with sparkle, or in the palace hall in golden light.
- Fashion models: men and women in thobe and ghutra, bisht, abaya, jalabiya and suit.
Saudi sets ready to use
The Lenci catalogue holds 31 ready sets, including scenes inspired by Saudi Arabia: Diriyah at golden hour, a Riyadh rooftop at night, the Jeddah corniche at sunset, dunes at dusk, the old souq, a palace hall and a desert camp. Next to them are white and black studio backdrops, a marble gallery, a boutique and a concrete loft.
Each set is an empty backdrop on which Lenci places the model or the product in the preview, and the instructions then describe it to the AI.
You can also generate a backdrop of your own on the Locations page, with Lenci credits.
Nawaa: a month of posts in one go
Paste your website, your Salla or Zid store, or your Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok or X handle, and Nawaa reads your brand's name, products, colours and tone. It then writes a four-week posting plan in Arabic and English, each post with a caption, hashtags, a call to action and a brief for the picture.
Nawaa knows the Saudi moments such as Ramadan, the two Eids, Founding Day and National Day, and uses them only when they fall inside your campaign. You export the plan to your calendar, or publish where you have connected your accounts. Details on the Nawaa page.
Also in Lenci
- Editor: crop to platform sizes, text and stickers, a frame in your brand's colours, and AI edits to one part of a photo with Lenci credits.
- Design studio: instant mockups of your design on products, layouts at each platform's size, and recolouring a product from a palette.
- Commercial studio: a storyboard of 3 to 6 shots for a video ad, each shot a ready Studio scene.
- Websites: a one-page site in Arabic and English from a short brief and your library shots.
- Looks and templates: ready scenes to start from; the starter looks work without an account.
Lenci vs a traditional shoot vs a general AI chat
A qualitative comparison to help you choose the right route for each shot, with no numbers and no promises.
| Criterion | Lenci | Traditional shoot | General AI chat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scene control | You choose set, light, camera and framing and see a preview before generating | Full control that needs a photographer, a studio and set-up | A text description plus any reference images you attach; no scene preview before generating |
| Saudi sets | Ready scenes such as Diriyah, the Jeddah corniche and the old souq | Shooting on location or building a set | Whatever you describe or attach in each request |
| Consistent model across a collection | Pick the same face, or your own model with their permission; Lenci sends that face as the reference with every shot | The same model when available for each session | You re-attach the person's photo and describe them in each request |
| Product accuracy | Depends on the AI and on your reference photo; review every result | The real product itself | Depends on the tool and on your reference photo; review every result |
| Pricing | Monthly plans and credit packs in Saudi riyals, VAT included; shooting with your own AI uses no credits | Depends on the photographer's quote | Depends on your plan with the provider |
| Commercial use | You own the results and may use them commercially under the Terms and the AI provider's policies | Depends on your contract with the photographer | Depends on the provider's terms |

Frequently asked questions
What is Lenci?
Lenci Studio is a virtual photo studio in the browser by Siyada Technology in Saudi Arabia. You build the shot, from the model and set to the lighting and camera; Lenci then prepares the instructions and reference images for the AI that generates the picture, and the result is saved in your library.
Is Lenci free?
Building and previewing scenes is free, and shooting with your own ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok account uses no Lenci credits. The generation itself happens with the provider, so its limits and charges apply under your plan. What Lenci costs today is on the Pricing page.
Which AI accounts can I use?
For images: ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok, and Lenci also supports Midjourney by copying the image command. For video: Grok. Writing tasks such as a Nawaa plan, and anything generated inside Lenci, use Lenci credits.
Do I need a photographer or a studio?
Not to build the scene or generate the picture. You only need a clear photo of your product or garment, and Lenci's photo guide shows the useful angles: front, three-quarter, side, back, top-down, detail and scale in hand. Review every result before you publish: AI can change some details.
Can I use the images commercially?
Yes. The Terms of Service say that you own the results generated for you and may use them for any lawful purpose, including commercially, subject to the Terms, the law and the usage policies of the AI provider that produced them. If a real person appears in the picture, you need their explicit permission.
Does Lenci work in Arabic?
Yes. The interface is available in right-to-left Arabic, one of 11 languages. Nawaa writes its posts in Arabic and English. The image instructions that Lenci sends to the AI are written in English.
How do I pay?
Shooting with your own AI needs no payment to Lenci. When you buy a plan or credits, you pay on Moyasar's secure page with mada, a card or Apple Pay, in Saudi riyals with VAT included; Lenci never sees your full card number.
