Start here if you already use your phone for product photography and want the fastest way to get products into Dropstitch.
Before you start
The Dropstitch mobile app is currently available on iPhone:
Android version coming soon.
Install the Dropstitch mobile app on your iPhone.
Use your existing Dropstitch account login.
Prepare one test item so you can run the full flow once.
Keep a tape measure or your usual measurement tool nearby.
Measure items directly in the app, then review details before send.
How it works
The Dropstitch mobile app is built for one clean first-value path:
capture the product
measure it while it is still in front of you
send it into Dropstitch
You can also upload images from your phone gallery in the app.
After that, you continue on desktop for review, listing cleanup, and publish.
This is the best fit when your phone is already the camera in your resale workflow. It is also the preferred capture method compared with the mobile browser because it is more integrated with the on-device camera and keeps the workflow simpler.
The optional details form can be customized later, so your first setup does not need to capture every possible field. Start with the manual details that are useful during intake and let Dropstitch fill AI-powered Attributes after generation. For custom Attributes, use Form visibility on desktop to decide whether a field can appear in the native app listing form, the desktop Capture form, or both.
If your team works from a studio setup and processes larger folders, desktop folder upload is the better starting point.
You cannot initiate listing actions from the app.
How to use it
Open the Dropstitch mobile app on your iPhone.
Sign in with your Dropstitch account.
Start with one product.
Choose whether you want to capture 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, then review and adjust measurement details before send. If you want to capture without measurements, tap the ruler icon in camera view to turn measurement off.
Add optional details if you want them captured at the same time. Your form can be customized to show manual fields such as price, size, measurements, condition, SKU, barcode, weight, or other non-AI Attributes.
Send the product into Dropstitch.
Open Dropstitch on desktop and continue the workflow there.
Success check
You can sign in successfully.
Your first product is captured and sent into Dropstitch.
The product is available in the wider Dropstitch workflow on desktop for review and publish.
Tips
Recommended approach: run one fast first-publish loop first so you validate
Photos in -> listings outbefore scaling up.Finish one item before you move to the next one. That keeps the workflow cleaner later.
Use defaults first, then tune details after your first product is safely in the desktop workflow.
If your team splits photography and listing review across different people, use the app as the capture-and-handoff step.
Prefer the app over the mobile browser for photography.
Capture measurements during intake so desktop review starts with complete product details.
Optional customization path: if you need stricter output from day one, customize the optional details form, capture the most important manual fields consistently during intake, and add tighter listing rules on desktop. This path is slower but can reduce later edits for teams with strict requirements.
Troubleshooting
I cannot find the Android app: Android version coming soon.I mainly process large studio folders: start with desktop folder upload instead.I expected to finish the whole listing on my phone: the app is for capture, measurement, gallery upload, and send into Dropstitch. Review and publish still continue on desktop.I am using the mobile browser instead: use the app for photography. The browser can still initiate some other actions, but the app is the preferred capture workflow.
