"I was losing bids because buyers couldn't see card condition through the sleeve glare. Now my photos show centering and edges perfectly. Bids went up 40% on my live shows." @PokemonFlipKing

Upload your trading card photo
Drop your card image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Phone camera photos work great. For best results, photograph cards in good lighting at your phone's highest resolution.
Simple cards on clean surfaces: 15-20 seconds. Holographic cards with heavy sleeve glare: may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe the card enhancement you want
Type 'remove sleeve glare and show card condition clearly on white background' or 'enhance centering and edge details for grading documentation.' The AI understands card-specific instructions. Be specific: mention sleeve glare, centering, holographic detail, or whatever matters for your card.
For graded-card-level documentation, add 'show centering, edges, corners, and surface clearly' to capture all four PSA grading criteria. -
Review card details at full zoom
Zoom in to check centering lines, edge sharpness, corner condition, and surface details. Verify sleeve glare is gone and holographic elements are visible. Check that colors remain accurate.
View at Whatnot thumbnail size too. Your photo needs to work both zoomed in for detail and small in the feed. -
Refine specific areas if needed
If glare remains on part of the sleeve or centering details need more clarity, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most card photos work on the first try, but heavy holographic glare sometimes needs targeted treatment.
For holographic cards, tap markers on the brightest reflection spots for targeted glare removal without losing the holo pattern.

Common Trading Card Photo Issues
Sleeve glare still visible after edit
Why: Heavy glare from direct overhead lighting or multiple light sources can be stubborn. Top loaders create worse reflections than penny sleeves.
remove all glare and reflections from card sleeve completely, show card surface with zero shine or reflection
Tap markers on the brightest reflection spots before regenerating. For top loaders, try 'remove top loader reflections completely.'
Holographic pattern disappeared along with the glare
Why: The AI treated the holographic pattern as part of the reflection. Holo patterns and glare look similar to AI.
remove sleeve glare only, preserve the holographic foil pattern underneath, keep holo shimmer visible
Adding 'preserve holographic pattern' explicitly tells the AI to keep the holo while removing only the surface glare.
Card centering looks different after background removal
Why: The AI may have slightly shifted or cropped the card during background removal, affecting perceived centering.
white background, preserve card position and centering exactly as photographed, do not shift or crop the card
For centering documentation, start with 'enhance centering details' without changing background first.
Card colors look different after editing
Why: Removing reflections changes color perception. What looked right under glare may appear different on clean white.
remove sleeve glare, preserve original card colors exactly as printed, accurate color representation
This is normal color perception shift. If colors seem off, add 'accurate original card colors' to your prompt.
Card text and fine print are blurry
Why: The AI may have smoothed the image during processing. Small text on cards is vulnerable to softening.
remove sleeve glare, preserve all card text with maximum sharpness, enhance fine details and print quality
Shoot cards at your phone's highest resolution. More detail in the original means better preservation.
Trading Card Seller Questions
Can this remove glare from top loaders and graded slabs?
Yes. EditThisPic handles penny sleeves, top loaders, magnetic cases, and PSA/BGS slabs. Top loaders and slabs create the heaviest reflections, so they may need 2-3 refinements. Type 'remove reflections from card slab' or 'remove top loader glare' and the AI targets the plastic surface reflections specifically.
Will holographic card patterns be preserved when removing glare?
Yes, if you specify it. Add 'preserve holographic pattern' or 'keep holo detail visible' to your prompt. The AI can distinguish between surface glare (from the sleeve) and the holographic pattern (on the card itself). Holo cards may need 2-3 tries to get the balance right between glare removal and pattern preservation.
Does this help document card condition for PSA/BGS grading?
Yes. Use prompts like 'enhance centering, edges, corners, and surface details' to document all four PSA grading criteria. The AI can make centering ratios clearly visible, sharpen edge and corner details, and enhance surface condition visibility. This helps buyers assess grade potential from your photos.
Can I use phone camera photos or do I need professional equipment?
Phone photos work great. The key is decent lighting when you shoot. Natural daylight near a window is ideal for cards. Avoid direct overhead lights that create heavy glare. Even with glare, EditThisPic can usually remove it. Shoot at your phone's highest resolution for best detail preservation.
How do I photograph sleeved cards to minimize glare before editing?
Best practice: angle the card slightly away from overhead lights, use natural window light from the side, and avoid flash. But even if you get heavy glare, EditThisPic can remove it. The less glare in the original, the faster and cleaner the AI edit will be. For valuable cards, take multiple angles.
Will this work for sports cards, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and other TCG?
Yes. EditThisPic works with all trading card types: Pokemon, sports cards (baseball, basketball, football), Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic: The Gathering, and any other TCG. The AI understands 'trading card' as a category and handles sleeve glare, centering, and condition documentation for all card types.
Is EditThisPic's AI whatnot trading card photo editor really free?
Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.
