Built for Phone Camera Depop Sellers
Most Depop sellers use their phone - and that's totally fine. The difference between amateur and professional-looking listings isn't the camera, it's the editing. Professional sellers spend time on lighting, color correction, and sharpening. EditThisPic does all three in one prompt, turning any phone photo into a listing that competes with DSLR-quality shots.
Tools for Phone Photo Enhancement
Replace Background
Swap plain walls for pastel gradients, chrome surfaces, and Y2K aesthetic backdrops
Add Filter
Apply Y2K color grading - soft pinks, chrome tints, and early 2000s disposable camera vibes
Enhance Colors
Boost pastels and make Y2K color palettes pop in listings
Enhance Lighting
Create soft, diffused Y2K lighting instead of harsh phone flash
How to Use the Upgrade Depop Phone Photos to Professional Quality
-
Upload your Y2K piece
Drop your photo into EditThisPic. Any phone photo works - JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.
Quick background swap: 25-30 seconds. Y2K filter + background combo: 45-60 seconds. -
Describe your Y2K aesthetic
Type what you want: 'upgrade to professional quality: brighten, sharpen details, enhance colors, clean background, Depop-ready' or customize for your specific needs.
Use Y2K-specific language: 'baby pink,' 'chrome finish,' 'iridescent shimmer,' 'Bratz doll aesthetic,' 'Paris Hilton vibes' - the AI gets these references. -
Review the Y2K transformation
Check that the aesthetic matches the era without overpowering the item. Colors should be enhanced but still show the actual piece accurately. The Y2K vibe should complement, not compete with your listing.
Compare with top Y2K sellers' feeds - your aesthetic should match that energy without losing product accuracy. -
Refine if needed
If the effect is too heavy, ask for 'more subtle Y2K vibes.' If edges around delicate items like butterfly clips need cleanup, tap markers on those spots. Most Y2K pieces work without this step.

Common Issues
Enhancement made the photo look over-processed
Why: Applying too many enhancements at once can create an artificial look.
enhance naturally: subtle brightness boost, gentle sharpening, keep it looking like a real photo
Add 'natural-looking' or 'subtle' to tone down the enhancement.
Sharpening added noise/grain to the photo
Why: Phone cameras in low light produce noise, and sharpening can amplify it.
sharpen the item details but reduce noise and grain in the background, clean and smooth
Fix lighting first, then sharpen. Better lighting reduces the need for aggressive sharpening.
Colors look oversaturated after enhancement
Why: Color boost on already-warm phone photos can over-saturate.
enhance with natural, true-to-life colors, avoid oversaturation, the item should look like it does in person
Compare enhanced photo with the actual item. If colors don't match, dial back with 'natural colors'.
Still looks like a phone photo despite enhancement
Why: Some issues (bad angle, poor composition) can't be fixed with AI enhancement alone.
enhance lighting, sharpen, clean background, crop to center the item, professional composition
Retake at eye level, arm's length, with natural window light. Then AI handles the rest.
Phone flash left a bright spot on reflective items
Why: Flash creates hot spots on shiny materials like patent leather, metal, or satin.
remove flash hot spot, even out lighting across the entire item, soft natural illumination
For reflective items, turn off flash and use window light. AI can fix the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI really make phone photos look professional?
Yes. The gap between phone and DSLR photos is mostly about lighting, color accuracy, and sharpness - all things AI excels at fixing. A well-enhanced phone photo is nearly indistinguishable from a DSLR shot for online listings.
What phone camera settings should I use before editing?
Use your phone's standard camera (not portrait mode), tap to focus on the item, and shoot in the highest resolution available. Natural window light is ideal. The AI handles the rest - lighting, colors, sharpness.
Is it worth buying a camera for Depop or should I just use AI?
For most Depop sellers, phone + AI editing is more than enough. A DSLR only makes sense if you're doing high-volume professional photography. Your time is better spent on listing more items than learning camera settings.
How do I keep photos consistent across my Depop shop?
Use the same AI prompt for all your listings. Save a prompt like 'brighten, sharpen, enhance colors, clean white background' and apply it to every photo. Consistency makes your shop look curated and professional.
Will AI editing change how my items actually look?
Good AI editing enhances what's there - better lighting reveals true colors, sharpening shows real details. It shouldn't change the item itself. Always compare your enhanced photo with the actual item to ensure accuracy.
My phone is older - will AI still help?
Yes. AI enhancement is actually most impactful on older phone cameras because they have more room for improvement. Lower resolution photos benefit greatly from sharpening and lighting fixes.
Can I depop phone on my phone?
Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.
What photo formats does the AI upgrade depop phone photos to professional quality support?
JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.
