Photograph clothes with your phone, labels included

How do you capture a garment with your phone?

Photographing clothes with your phone via FashionPix works like this: open the app, point the camera at the garment and follow the frame on your screen. After taking the photo, you choose whether to scan the labels too. The shot is ready in seconds and lands straight in your account.

The app doesn't demand a perfect setup. Whether you're in the warehouse, in the store or at home — photographing clothes with your phone works best in decent daylight against a neutral background, but you'll still get solid results in less-than-ideal conditions.

The photo doesn't need to be perfect. Later, in the Studio on your computer, you adjust the background and add a model or lifestyle context. The phone shot is purely there to capture the garment and gather the label data.

What exactly does the automatic label scan do?

After photographing the garment, you scan the size label and the care label separately. FashionPix reads the size, fabric composition and care instructions, and links that data straight to the product in your account. Nothing to type in by hand.

Care symbols are set by the international ISO 3758 standard. FashionPix recognises these symbols and translates them into readable text, like 'wash at 30°C' or 'do not tumble dry.' That saves you a manual translation step for every single item.

The app also reads the fabric composition — say, '80% cotton, 20% polyester' — straight from the label text. Within the EU, manufacturers are required to include this information on the label under EU Regulation 1007/2011. That data is instantly usable as a product attribute in your webshop.

Labels are entirely optional. If a garment has no label, or the label is unreadable, just skip the scanning step and continue with the photo alone. Nothing to scan, no problem.

• Size: read automatically and saved as a product attribute
• Fabric composition: pulled from the label text, ready to use in your product description
• Care instructions: ISO symbols translated into readable instructions
• No label? Skip the scan step and move on

Where do the photos and data end up?

Everything you capture — the garment photo and the scanned label data — syncs straight to your FashionPix account. You'll see the product in your overview the moment you confirm the shot.

Your account is accessible from any browser. Switch from your phone to your laptop halfway through, and every shot is already waiting for you. No transferring files, no cables, no hassle.

Want a model-free shot too? A clean product photo on a white background is available right in the Studio once you've uploaded the garment. That way, everything stays in one place.

How do you finish a product in the Studio on your computer?

In the FashionPix Studio, you pick the presentation you want for every uploaded garment: a product photo on a white background, a model photo, or a lifestyle photo. The label data is already filled in — you just decide on the look.

The Studio is where the visual finishing happens. You select a background, tweak the lighting if needed, and generate the final product images. That takes a bit more focus than the quick shot on the shop floor — which is exactly why it's built for the computer.

Curious how your webshop's image quality holds up right now? Scan your webshop for weak product photos and find out where you can gain the most before adding new items.

Once you're done, download the generated images and product copy as a ready-to-use package, compatible with most webshop platforms.

Can you install FashionPix as an app on your phone or tablet?

FashionPix is a progressive web app (PWA). You add it to your home screen straight from the browser — on iPhone as well as Android phones and tablets. No app store download required.

On iOS, tap 'Share' in Safari and choose 'Add to Home Screen.' On Android, use the 'Add to Home screen' option in Chrome. FashionPix then opens like a regular app, full screen, no browser bar.

For warehouse or store staff processing multiple garments every day, this is the fastest setup: one tap on the icon and you're straight into scanning mode.

What does a typical workflow look like, from the rack to the webshop?

You grab a garment from the rack, photograph it with your phone via FashionPix, scan the size label and the care label, and confirm the shot. Later, you open the Studio on your computer, finish the product and export the images to your webshop.

A practical rhythm for small boutiques or webshops without a dedicated photo studio: process new stock as soon as it comes in. Photograph and scan each item as you unpack it. At the end of the day, open the Studio and finish everything in one session.
