"Had a gorgeous cashmere sweater listed for 3 weeks with zero interest. Re-photographed it, cleaned up the background, fixed the lighting. Sold within 4 hours at full asking price. The item was the same - the photo made the difference." @CashmereFlipSuccess
Why Vinted Listings Don't Sell
On Vinted, buyers decide in under 2 seconds whether to tap on your listing. Dark photos, cluttered backgrounds, and poor lighting make even great items look unappealing. The fix isn't a lower price - it's a better photo. EditThisPic transforms your existing photos into professional listings that stop the scroll and get the tap.

How to Fix Vinted Photos That Aren't Selling
-
Identify what's wrong with your photo
Look at your unselling listing critically: Is the background cluttered? Is the lighting dark or yellow? Is the item hard to see? Compare with similar items that sold quickly. Usually the fix is obvious once you look with fresh eyes.
Enhancement: 15-20 seconds. Background swap: 20-25 seconds.Search Vinted for your item type and compare your photo with the top sold listings. The difference is usually the photo quality. -
Upload and describe the fix
Drop your listing photo into EditThisPic and describe what needs fixing: 'replace background with white and brighten the photo' or 'enhance to look more professional.' Fix the biggest issue first.
Start with background: it's the single biggest impact improvement for most listings -
Compare before and after
Look at both versions side by side. Would you tap on the new photo? Does the item look more appealing and trustworthy? If not, try a different approach or fix an additional issue.
-
Update your Vinted listing
Replace the old photos in your Vinted listing with the improved versions. Consider adding the old price crossed out with a 'refreshed listing' note to catch attention. Monitor views and saves over the next 24 hours.
Update the listing during peak Vinted browsing times (evenings and weekends) for maximum visibility.

When Things Go Wrong
Photo looks better but listing still isn't selling
Why: Photo quality is one factor - pricing, title, description, and timing also matter.
After fixing photos, also review your title keywords, pricing against similar sold items, and posting time.
Enhanced photo looks over-processed or fake
Why: Too many simultaneous edits can create an artificial look that buyers distrust.
Start with just one edit: replace background with white, keep everything else natural
Less is more - a clean background alone is often the only edit you need.
Item looks too different from reality after editing
Why: Over-enhancement created an unrealistic representation that could lead to returns.
The goal is professional presentation, not deception. Your photo should match what arrives.
Colors look oversaturated and unnatural
Why: Color enhancement went too far, making the item look artificial.
Accurate colors reduce returns. Slightly muted is better than garishly bright.
Enhancement made the item look brand new when it's pre-loved
Why: Over-processing hid wear that buyers need to see for honest purchasing.
'Do not alter the item' keeps your listing honest while still improving presentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why aren't my Vinted listings getting views?
The most common reason is photo quality. Vinted buyers scroll through dozens of listings and decide in under 2 seconds whether to tap. Dark photos, cluttered backgrounds, and poor lighting make buyers scroll past. Professional-looking photos get significantly more taps, even for the exact same items.
What's the single biggest photo improvement for sales?
Clean background. Replace your messy room, kitchen counter, or bed with a clean white background. This one change has the biggest impact on perceived item quality and listing professionalism. It takes 20 seconds with EditThisPic.
Should I retake photos or edit existing ones?
If your current photo captures the item clearly (even in bad lighting/background), edit it. EditThisPic can fix backgrounds, lighting, and color. Only retake if the original is too blurry, doesn't show the full item, or misses important details.
Will better photos alone fix my sales?
Photos are the biggest factor in getting views and taps. But also check your pricing (compare with sold listings), title keywords (use what buyers search for), and listing times (evenings and weekends peak). Photos get them to your listing - everything else closes the sale.
How many photos should a Vinted listing have?
Include 4-6 photos minimum: full item front, back view, detail/label close-up, any wear or condition notes, and a styling or context shot. More photos with consistent quality build buyer confidence and reduce questions.
