Adding items to your digital Closet

Uploading to the Closet

1. Expand the closet menu

Click on the “+” at the top of the Pronti closet screen to upload your clothing.

2. Choose an Upload Option

You can choose between:

Sample Closet: This has some basic items like tshirts and jeans. You can turn this closet off and on and delete individual items.
Web Image: Uploading clothing photos from any image on the web. Search by item description and brand
Photo Gallery: Uploading a photo of your clothing item from your phone gallery.
Camera: Take a picture of your clothing right from the app.
Removed Background: Upload a picture from your gallery where you have already removed the background. This allows you to use other software (Photoshop, your phone's background removal or an online tool) to remove the background.
Email: Connect your email to find all your ecommerce purchases. Pronti uses the photo from these emails to add them.
Selfie & Social: Coming soon!

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.

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

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

Upload Hacks - how to get started quickly

Putting your closet in is an investment, but you don't have to do it all at once.

Here are 3 fast tips to get started.

Use the Email upload feature

It can get a lot of your first items in fast.

We don't save your messages but if you'd prefer not to connect your main email, create a throwaway email - kierashopping@gmail.com and forward all your purchases there.

Upload from web - but logged into your favourite stores

1. Use the upload from web feature

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

3. search your store

4. Login and go to your purchases.

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!

Sample Closet - toggle on and off

Sample Closet

The sample closet is intended to get you started with things many people have in their closet like Jeans and t-shirts. You can play around with the app and keep some or none of them by clicking the sample closet again.

Camera - 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.

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.

Web Image: Upload any Image of Clothing from an Online Photo

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”.

Crop the screenshot so that you remove any text and it only shows your clothing item.
You can add the cropped screenshot of your clothing item and either continue adding your closet from the web, or add it and exit.

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 isn't quite ready to take images of people yet - for now choose photos of your items on their own.

Removed Background: Upload an Image that is already cropped (background is removed)

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 want to skip Pronti's cropper and upload the whole image
you removed the background in another way (websites online or photoshop)

Go to your Closet
Click the + button
select icon for Removed Background
choose the image from your gallery that already has the background removed.

Email past purchases uploaded to your closet

In this method you connect your gmail to Pronti and Pronti looks for your e-commerce purchases. Pronti will find the images.

Please note: Pronti does not save the emails and disconnects after finding the images. If you are worried but still want to use this method a hack is to forward all your purchases to a dummy gmail account and connect that one.

Go to your Closet
Click the + button
select icon for Removed Background
choose the image from your gallery that already has the background removed.
