How to Add Items to your Closet

There are many ways to add your clothes and accessories to your digital closet and we are adding even more and easier ways soon.

Uploading to the Closet
1. Press the Add item button

Start to upload your clothing by clicking on the “+” at the top of the Pronti closet screen. This expands the menu and shows you the options available.
2. Choose an Upload Option
Pronti will remove the background and categorize your item when you add it.
You can choose between:

Camera: Take a picture of your clothing right from the app.

Photo Gallery: Uploading a photo of your clothing item from your phone gallery.

Web Image: Uploading clothing photos from any image on the web. Search by item description and brand

Head to Toe Selfie: Let Pronti detect the clothes you are wearing today and add them to your closet.

Forward an online Purchase: Recent online purchase receipts with the photo can be forwarded to a unique email generated in the app that will add it to your closet.

Sample Closet: This has some basic items like tshirts and jeans. You can turn this closet off and on and delete individual items.
If you don't like the background removal that Pronti does there are two options:

use the Gallery upload option and choose a picture from your gallery where you have already removed the background.

Pronti will automatically recognize it does not need background removal. This allows you to use other software (Photoshop, your phone's background removal or an online tool) to remove the background.

You can touch up your crop with additional removal on the item page.
3. Choose The Occasions Or Styles For The Items you uploaded

All newly uploaded items appear in All Closet and Missing Occasion.

After uploading your items, remember to tag them in the occasions you use them in. (Press the pencil and card icon or go to the tutorial button below to learn how to do this.)

If not, the item will not appear in any outfit recommendations (other than All Closet Mashup) because it is not linked to an occasion.

You can scroll through the menu at the top of the Closet to see what occasions have what clothing items.

Upload Hacks - how to get started quickly
Putting your closet into Pronti is an investment in getting great outfit options, but you don't have to do it all at once.

Here are 3 fast tips to get started.

Prepare before taking photos

A little prep goes a long way in making you efficient.

Clothes on a hanger are super fast - our average user with clothes on a hanger can do 60 items in 30 minutes.

1. Grab the items from your closet for one occasion - like your school clothes or your work clothes.
2. If they are not on hangers put them on hangers (so much faster to do hanger rather than lay flat method)
3. take a picture off the wall and use the hook
4. hang each one on the picture hook, click a picture, put it into the done pile.
5. Everything in your missing occasion closet is ready to be tagged to school or work. There is a bulk edit tutorial for this!

Upload from web - log into your store accounts for past purchases

Use the upload from web feature

Tap All in the top of the browser to switch from Google Images to Google Browser

search your store

Login and go to your purchases.
Forward past purchases or schedule a daily selfie

Any purchase email with a picture can be forwarded to your unique pronti email and automatically added to your closet. We also love the daily selfie feature for adding items every day.
Take a Picture - Taking good photos really matters!

Camera

Taking good photos really helps Pronti to see the item and remove the background properly. If the background is busy or patterned it can really confuse Pronti.

Here are three tips for great photos:

Take photos in the day or in a bright room that minimizes shadows on the item.

Find a spot with a plain or uniform background, like a door or a wall.

It works best if it is a different color from the item - so try not to put a white shirt against the white bedsheet.

Hang your items or lay them out flat.

Do up buttons and zippers and smooth out the wrinkles.
Gallery: Upload images from your camera roll
Your Camera Gallery
If you have pictures of your items you can upload up to 10 at a time by selecting them from your camera gallery. Pronti will label and crop your image.

Pronti will also be able to detect if you have already removed the background. This is a great option if:

you have a phone that crops the image and removes the background perfectly (new iPhones are great at this)

you removed the background in another way (websites online or photoshop)

Pronti isn't quite ready to take images of people yet - for now choose photos of your items on their own.
Find an online Image: Upload any Image of Clothing
Web Images

You can upload your closet items by searching them on Google Images. It is a great big list of images to choose from!

For better finds, search a description of your item with the brand name.

For example, “women black skinny jeans Theory”.
Select the item that resembles your clothing item. Try to avoid model shots (shots with a person wearing it). These will not work well with the background removal. Product shots will crop and look the best in your closet.

Take a screenshot of the clothing item in the web by selecting “take a screenshot”.
3. Crop the screenshot so that you remove any text and it only shows your clothing item.

4. You can add the cropped screenshot of your clothing item and either continue adding your closet from the web, or add it and exit.
Head to Toe Selfie
Take a picture of yourself facing forward and using a mirror. Pronti will detect what you are wearing and you can select which items to add.
