"I only have my phone camera. Used to think I needed a real camera for good listings. EditThisPic makes my iPhone photos look like they were taken in a studio." @PhonePhotoPro

Built for Phone-Only Mercari Sellers

Phone photos are often too dark or poorly lit
Phone cameras struggle with indoor and artificial lighting
Blurry close-ups from phone cameras hide detail
No access to professional camera or lighting equipment
Auto-exposure makes some photos too dark or too bright
Phone cameras add noise and grain in low light

Most Mercari sellers use only their phone. That's perfectly fine - phone cameras are capable. The difference between amateur and professional listings is lighting and background, not the camera. EditThisPic fixes what your phone can't.

Listings with enhanced phone photos sell at the same rate as professional camera photos - Mercari Seller Research 2024

When Things Go Wrong

Edges look choppy on the item

Why: Complex outlines challenge AI edge detection.

Try: Tap markers on choppy edges, then: smooth edges naturally

High contrast between item and original background works best.

Colors don't match the real item

Why: Color correction overcorrected or mixed lighting.

Try: fix color to show accurate natural color, do not over-saturate

Photograph in consistent daylight for best results.

Details got smoothed away

Why: Enhancement over-processed the image.

Try: replace background with white, do not alter the item in any way

'Do not alter the item' preserves all detail.

AI changed the wrong area

Why: Description was ambiguous.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area, then regenerate

Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus.

Result looks fake

Why: Lighting mismatch with new background.

Try: replace background with soft neutral, match existing lighting

'Match existing lighting' creates realistic composites.
