Importing & Editing Your Products
Lesson Content
Wholesale vendors that have hundreds or thousands of products, can sometimes provide merchandise pictures that have too much whitespace. You want the product to be the focus on the page for best results.
In Dropified, our Photo Editor tool, allows you to crop and resize images, so that the layout is consistent with other product images on your website, for a professional on-page shopping experience for your customers. The ‘old school’ way of doing this was time intensive, as you had to download the image, crop it on your computer and then upload it again (we’re tired just thinking about it!).
Check out how easy it is to find, review and crop images to optimize display, using our Dropified Photo Editor. Simply select your saved product, view, and then you will be at our product edit screen. Scroll to the bottom where the images are located, and you can choose to add more images that were scraped from the product page, or upload your own images (make sure they are royalty and copyright free). Select the image you wish to edit by clicking on the green edit icon (right hand side of each photo).
In the Photo Editor, you can crop, resize or add an artistic filter to the product image, or adjust photo lighting to darken the image or brighten it, add contrast or shadows. Pretty cool, right? The Photo Editor in Dropified allows you to put your personal touch on every image, in keeping with your shop theme, and helps you differentiate your images from other vendors.
Here’s how it works.
To access the Dropified photo editor:
- Log into Dropified.
- From the main Dropified dashboard, navigate to “Saved Products” in the left-hand side menu, underneath the “Products” tab.
- This will take you to a list of the products you have imported from online stores we support drop shipping from.
- Navigate to the product you want to edit the product photo of.
- Click on the product to go to the listing editor.
- Once in the editor, scroll down to the product photo you want to edit.
- Hover over the product photo. You will see a few different buttons.
- Move: Allows you to reorder the product photos.
- Advanced Editor: This will open the photo editor with a number of tools and features for much control over your product photos.
- Simple Editor: This will open the photo with a more limited set of tools that can be used for less intensive editing. This would be used for quicker edits.
- Remove Background: This will open the photo editor with the sole purpose of removing unsightly backgrounds from your product images to make a more uniform look.
- Download: Allows you to download the product photo.
- Delete: Deletes the selected product photo.
How to use the background remover tool in the Dropified Photo Editor
- Select the “Remove Background” button when hovering over the product photo you want to edit.
- Pressing it will open the photo editor and automatically select what it sees as the background of the product photo.
- On the left side of the screen will be the original photo with an outline of what will be cut out. On the right side is a preview of what the photo will look like when the edit is complete.
- If the edits are up to your standards, press done.
- If the selection needs further editing, choose either the green plus button at the top of the screen or the red minus button next to it.
- If the automatic edit removed part of the product, select the green plus and drag your cursor over the area you want in the photo. You should see it automatically update on the right side.
- If the automatic edit displayed more of the background or other areas of the photo than you would like, select the red minus button. Drag your cursor over the area you want removed. You should see the new edits automatically update on the right side of the screen.
