The Dropstitch mobile app is the fastest way to get products into Dropstitch if you already use your phone for product photography.
Before you start
The Dropstitch mobile app is currently available on iPhone:
Android version coming soon.
Use your existing Dropstitch login.
If you use an iPhone Pro device, the app can use AR measurements for a faster workflow. On non-Pro devices, measurements fall back to manual entry fields.
How it works
The Dropstitch mobile app is built around one simple workflow:
shoot
measure
send into Dropstitch
You can also upload images from your phone gallery in the app.
After that, you continue the wider workflow on desktop for review, listing cleanup, cross-listing, and publish.
Use this rule to choose the right photography workflow:
Photography workflow | Best for | What happens next |
Dropstitch mobile app | Sellers who already use their phone for product photography, solo sellers, small teams, and split-role teams where one person captures and another reviews | Capture or gallery upload in the app, measure, then send products into Dropstitch and continue on desktop |
Desktop folder upload | Studio setups, larger folders, larger batches, and more fixed desktop-oriented operations | Photos are uploaded from desktop into the same Dropstitch workflow |
There is also a mobile browser version of Dropstitch. You can still initiate some actions there that are not available in the app. But for photography, the app is the better choice because it is more integrated with the device camera, reduces complexity, and avoids the lower-quality capture flow that can happen through the browser camera module.
The app does not replace the full desktop workflow. Its job is product photography, measurement, gallery upload, and product handoff into Dropstitch.
You cannot initiate listing actions from the app.
How to use it
Download the Dropstitch mobile app on iPhone.
Sign in with your Dropstitch account.
Choose whether you want to capture new photos in the app or upload images from your phone gallery.
If you capture in the app, use the overlay grid and choose the ratio that fits the item:
4:3,16:9, or1:1.Measure the item while you are photographing it. iPhone Pro devices use AR measurements for the fastest workflow. Non-Pro devices use manual measurement fields.
Add optional details such as price, width, length, and size when useful.
Send the product into Dropstitch.
Continue on desktop to review the product, complete any required fields, and publish.
Success check
You can sign in to the app with your Dropstitch account.
The product is captured, measured, and sent into Dropstitch.
The same product is available in the wider Dropstitch workflow on desktop for review and publish.
Tips
Use the app when your phone is already part of your normal product photography routine.
Prefer the app over the mobile browser for photography. It is the cleaner capture workflow.
Use desktop folder upload when your team works from a studio setup or processes larger folders.
If one person captures products and another person reviews listings later, the app is a good handoff tool.
Android version coming soon.
If your team has iPhone Pro devices, use them for the simplest measurement workflow.
Troubleshooting
I want to finish the whole listing lifecycle on my phone: the app handles capture, measurement, gallery upload, and send into Dropstitch. Review, listing cleanup, and publish still continue on desktop.I process larger folders from a studio camera: use desktop folder upload instead of the app for that workflow.I am looking for Android: the iPhone app is live first. Android version coming soon.I am using the mobile browser camera: use the Dropstitch mobile app for photography instead. The app is more integrated with the device camera and is the preferred capture path.
Value reflection
Without the app, phone-first teams often manage extra photo handoff steps before products are ready for desktop review. The Dropstitch mobile app reduces that manual friction by keeping capture, measurement, and send in one place, then handing one-of-one vintage inventory into the same downstream workflow you already trust. That improves intake speed without pretending mobile replaces the full listing lifecycle.
