📸 What Is Image Tiling?
When enabled, Dropstitch takes the first image of your product (the one in position 1) and splits it into cropped detail shots based on your settings.
These cropped images are then added to your product as detail images, helping buyers see close-up elements like stitching, logos, fabric texture, or print placement.
📐 Image tiling always maintains the original image ratio—so your cropped sections are proportionally accurate.
🧠 How It Works
Enable tiling via Settings → Preferences →Upload Settings → Image Tiling
Select the crop areas you want to include. Options include:
Top
Left
Right
Bottom
Top Left

Center
Once set, Dropstitch will automatically generate these crops from the first image each time a new product is uploaded or updated.
🛠️ Managing Image Tiling Settings
To customize your tiling setup:
Click Change next to Image Tiling in Upload Settings
Select or remove crop positions as needed
Click Update Image Tiling to save changes
Tiling applies only to the first image of each product and updates automatically when that image is changed.
💡 When to Use It
Image tiling is especially useful when:
You want consistent detail images without extra photography work
Your products have small but important visual elements (like vintage tags, sleeve prints, stitching)
You’re bulk uploading and want every item to have a clean, multi-angle presentation
🧠 Tips
For best results, use well-lit, straight-on product images with a clean background
Consider using tiling together with background removal or padding for more polished detail crops
You can always delete or reorder generated tiles manually in the Product Buffer
🧵 Summary
Image Tiling is a small but powerful feature that helps automate detailed product presentation. By slicing the main image into focused views, it boosts buyer confidence and listing quality—without extra effort from your side.
