Use Image Tiling to generate extra close-up images from the first product image automatically.
Before you start
Open Settings > Images > Detail Images.
Make sure the first image of each product is clean, centered, and well framed.
If you also use Set up Images in Dropstitch, lock that look first so the base image is already in good shape.
How it works
Image Tiling takes image position 1 and creates additional cropped detail shots from it.
Available crop zones include:
top
bottom
left
right
center
top left
top right
bottom left
bottom right
Behavior rules:
Tiling keeps the original image ratio.
Tiling is driven from image position 1.
Updating the first image refreshes the generated tile output.
How to use it
Go to Settings > Images > Detail Images.
Find the Image Tiling settings.
Turn on Enable Image Tiling.
Select the crop zones you want under Crop Positions.
Your changes are saved automatically.
Upload or update a product.
Open the product and review the generated detail shots.
Success check
New detail crops appear automatically after upload.
The crops show the parts of the garment you expected.
Generated detail images can be reviewed and reordered in the product image view.
Tips
Recommended approach: use a strong, centered first image because tiling quality depends on image position 1.
For labels, embroidery, and fabric texture, center and corner crops usually work well.
Keep one tiling preset stable across batches if you want more consistent marketplace presentation.
Advanced settings
Optional customization path: use different crop presets for different capture styles.
Flat lays often benefit from center and edge crops, while hanger or mannequin shots often benefit from top and side crops.
This works best when the first image consistently frames the garment in roughly the same way across the batch.
Troubleshooting
Generated crops are not useful: change the selected crop zones and test again on one product.No tiles are generated: make sure Enable Image Tiling is turned on and at least one crop position is selected. Changes are saved automatically.The important detail is missing: move that detail to image position 1 or choose a crop zone that covers it.
Value reflection
Without tiling, detail-image creation becomes another repeated editing task on every one-of-one item. Dropstitch turns one strong first image into extra listing detail shots automatically, which saves time without losing close-up coverage. Once the preset is right, tiling becomes a lightweight set-and-forget image layer.
