📸 Edit photos

Why edit your Vinted photos?

Clemz allows you to edit all the photos in a listing with just a few clicks before reposting them. The main purpose of this feature is to prevent Vinted from recognising your listings between reposts and demoting them. But it also allows you to, for example:

Display your promotions directly on your listings
Modify your listings according to the seasons
Make your listings recognisable at a glance: identical frames, colours and emojis, etc.
Let your creative side shine through

The video below gives a quick overview of photo edits and how they work:

How does it work?

Examples of creations via Clemz:

Before you can edit your photos with Clemz, you must first save your listing on Clemz.app. If you do not know how to save your listings, read this.

Clemz will always start from your saved photos (= the original, unmodified photos) in order to add your new settings. This means that you can make endless changes without them accumulating on your photos: each time, Clemz starts from the unmodified photo.

The video below explains, visually, how to repost by modifying your photos with Clemz:

To edit your photos, go to the "Repost listings" tab and choose one of the two editing options:

"On the fly" allows you to apply a modification to your items by entering the settings directly on the Clemz extension
"Modification du moment" allows you to use the photo modifications saved on your clemz.app account. This makes it easier to track the modifications used on each listing, as explained here.

If you choose "On the fly", you can click on " Enter settings " to determine how each photo will be modified. See below.

Is it still necessary to edit your photos?

Well, it depends. Vinted changes its policy on this subject a lot, so sometimes modifications are mandatory (otherwise your reposted listing will be moved down in your wardrobe), and sometimes they are not! Vinted can enable or disable the identification of reposted items.

The easiest thing to do is to trust what the Clemz extension tells you: if an alert message tells you that there is no need to modify your photos, you can repost your saved photos directly. Example:

If, on the other hand, an alert advises you to modify your photos, it means that Vinted has activated the robot responsible for checking each item photo => You will need to make a significant modification as explained here.

Editing options

Clemz allows you to configure the changes to be made to the photos of your listings. The following options are available:

Rotate or crop
Add a frame
Paste a sticker
Add text
Add a background

Each option is explained below with a few visual examples.

Rotate or crop

This is the only option that does not add anything to your photos: it simply allows you to rotate the image a few degrees and crop the edges while maintaining the same height-to-width ratio as the original photo.

Rotation is very effective, and a few degrees are enough to escape Vinted's robots. I recommend testing reposting with a small rotation between -10 and +10 degrees, and always avoiding exceeding -20/20 degrees (photo too rotated).

See examples

2° rotation

Crop 20%

Rotation -5°
Crop 15%

Add a frame

Clemz allows you to add a frame around your photos:

either single-colour (one colour)
or a frame template provided by Clemz (the list can be viewed here)
or a frame imported by you (from your Clemz account settings by clicking here). Recommended frame: 800x566 minimum and 3:2 format.

Colour to apply: Clemz will apply this colour to single-colour frames and templates. You can also use it on your personal frames via the "chosen colour" option. This multiplies the possibilities for frames almost infinitely.

Frame orientation: single-colour frames adapt to the shape of each photo, but not templates, which are a fixed size and in portrait format. The same applies to personal frames. You can also choose to rotate them 90° if your photos are in landscape format: select the "Rotate if photo is landscape" option.

Adding a frame: Clemz has two options for embedding your photos in a frame. Either the photo is fully visible, or it is adjusted to avoid white spaces in the frame.

medium thickness

Model "C11_Floral"
Colour: #007782
Full photo

Model "C11_Floral"
Colour: #1FF45F
Fill the entire space

Paste a sticker

This allows you to paste either an emoji or a small personal image (logo or other) onto your photos. To paste an emoji, simply enter the emoji of your choice in the appropriate field. The size, rotation angle and position of the sticker on the photo can be defined.

Personal stickers can be created in your Clemz account settings by clicking here.

See examples

emoji Large, 30°,

Personal sticker
Large+, -30°,

Add text

Clemz allows you to enter the text of your choice while choosing its size, colour, background colour and even font.
A few rules to keep in mind: emojis do not work and line breaks are not automatic (it is up to you to skip a line in the text).

In addition, you can customise the text for each listing by entering the words below (in brackets). The added text will be automatically taken from the Vinted information for each listing:

- " (title) " will be replaced by the title of each listing
- " (price) " will be replaced by the price of each listing
- " (brand) " will be replaced by the brand of each listing
- " (size) " will be replaced by the size of each listing.
Please note! If the listing does not have a size, (size) will be replaced by empty text.

See examples

Arial, 60% width
No background,

Finger Paint, 60% width
Background #FBFF05,

Parisienne, 80% width
No background,

Add a background

PLEASE NOTE! This only works properly if your photo already has a uniform background (for example, if it has been removed using an app such as PhotoRoom).

This option allows you to change the background colour or replace it with your own background.

Personal backgrounds can be created in your Clemz account settings by clicking here.

How can you prevent identification by Vinted?

Note: Sometimes, Vinted may disable the identification of reposted items. Please read this short paragraph first to understand why.

When you repost, Vinted compares the photos in the new listing with ALL the photos you have uploaded in the last 6 months. If it finds a similarity with one of the photos in its memory, the listing is then considered "reposted" and may be penalised by the algorithm (lower visibility). Ultimately, the repost will not have been effective...

Changing your photos between reposts prevents this identification. But to do so, you need to follow a few relatively simple rules.

Rule 1: changes must be significant

In order to work quickly, Vinted's robots compare photos "roughly": they look at the overall shapes and colours, but do not go into detail. It's a bit like they are comparing photos with their eyes squinted.
You should take advantage of this approximate comparison to make changes that are visible when looking at the photo "overall" and from a slight distance. Examples:

Edits that do not work: writing a small text in a corner, adding a thin white frame, adding a ❤️ emoji on a background that is already slightly red, writing in black on an area that is already dark, rotating the photo by only 1°, etc.

Modifications that may work : add a highly visible coloured frame, add a large 🎁 emoji on a light background, rotate the photo by at least 2°, write the name of your wardrobe on a coloured background and paste it into a dark area of the photo, change the entire background of your photo, etc.

In summary, to increase the chances that the modifications will fool Vinted's robots, they must be very visible (large) and obvious (bright colours that contrast with the background) at first glance at the photo.

Tip: Image rotation works very well, and a few degrees are enough to fool Vinted. Try rotating the image by at least 2 degrees.

Rule 2: change the modification each time you repost the same listing

As I explained, photos are kept for 6 months by Vinted: each time you repost, you will therefore need to completely change the photo modifications. Add a new emoji (if possible, a very different one) in another corner of the photo, change the background colour and position of the text, etc.

To help you avoid making the same modification to a listing twice in a 6-month period:

Use the "current modification" feature to help you keep track of which modifications have already been applied to an item. Click here to learn all about this feature.
Use the repost history for your items: it contains the photo modifications made with each repost. Click here to see how to view the activity history for each saved item.

Tip: rotating photos makes it easy to make different changes. You can make a first repost with a 2-degree rotation, then, on the next one for the same listing, move on to 4 degrees, then 6, etc.
This way, by changing by 2 degrees between -10 degrees and +10 degrees, you can repost the same listing 10 times with a rather discreet change.

Rule 3: Do not be afraid to experiment with your listings

Unfortunately, Vinted's photo identification is not an exact science: for some photos, a minimal change is enough, while for others, you need to make a lot of changes to fool Vinted.

There's no secret to it: test a few things on your listings and find a good combination of editing settings. You won't get it right the first time, but once you do, it's very effective!

Remember that photo edits are reversible: if you do not delete your Clemz backup, you can restore the original photos at any time (although Vinted will recognise them immediately).

What is a "modification of the moment"?

Why a "modification of the moment"?

Vinted stores six months' worth of photos from your wardrobe. Therefore, to prevent your reposts from being identified, you must modify the photos in your listings and, above all, ensure that the modification you make is different from all those made in the last six months.

Of course, it's quite difficult to remember what modifications you've used over the last six months: which frame? Which colour? Which sticker?
Using a modification from the moment will help you avoid applying the same (or almost the same) modifications twice to the same listing within six months.

The video below gives a quick overview of the current changes and how they work:

How does it work?

The principle is simple:

Create your photo edits: you can set them up directly on clemz.app. This gives you a global view of the different edits you want to apply to your wardrobe.
Apply the current modification on Vinted: one of the modifications is your "current modification". You apply it with the Clemz extension to all the listings in your wardrobe.
Once all your listings have been modified, you won't use it again for six months. You then move on to a new "current modification". This is so that Vinted doesn't recognise your photos while it has them in its memory.
Clemz offers you additional security: if, by mistake, you try to reapply a modification to a listing that already had it less than 6 months ago, Clemz will block the repost. This prevents Vinted from identifying it.

Please note: Clemz cannot compare "on-the-fly" modifications made to a listing. It only alerts you if you try to apply the same modification to the same listing a second time in less than 6 months.

How do I create a "current modification"?

Your photo edits can be managed from your settings or more directly via this link. This view contains the button to create a new photo edit and the "" button to select which edit will be the current one.

The various photo editing settings are explained here.

The video below explains, visually, how to create a "moment edit" with Clemz:

How do I edit or delete a photo edit?

A photo edit can be edited or deleted as long as it has never been used via the "" icon located below the edit.

Once used, it can no longer be edited or deleted, as otherwise it would no longer be possible to track photo edits... But you can still archive edits you no longer want to use via the "" button.

Please note: if a modification contains a personal frame/background/sticker, you must not delete them, otherwise the modification will become unusable. This will also prevent Clemz from displaying the modification history of your listings correctly.
Instead, the image below will be displayed:

Change the preview of photo edits

When you create a new photo edit, it is usefulto use a photo of a saved listing as a preview rather than the default example dress that Clemz uses. This allows you to clearly see the edits you have made.

Here's how to select the listing to use:

Display the list of your saved listings (or click here)
Then click on the listing of your choice
Use the
Photo edit template
button to select this listing as a template

And that's it! Now, when you preview a photo edit, the first photo of that listing will be used as the template.

How can I view a listing's activity history?

When an item saved on clemz.app is reposted, Clemz keeps the information in memory. This makes it possible to display an activity history for each saved item.

In your dashboard, go to the "Items" tab (or click here) to view the list of your saved items. Then search for the item you want and click on it to see its details page with a "History" tab listing reposts from the last 7 months. For each repost, you will find a preview and details of the photo edits you have applied to the listing (example below).

If the image below is displayed, it means that it is no longer possible to create a preview: you have deleted a frame/background/personal sticker used on this listing and Clemz is no longer able to display what your modification looked like.

How to repost using your original photos?

Would you like to repost a listing and have Clemz restore the original photo (i.e. the ones saved on clemz.app)? Clemz allows you to do this.

To restore the original photo, select the " Unedited saved photos" option on the "Repost listings" tab.

Clemz will therefore use the photos saved on clemz.app without making any changes to them.

Please note: by doing this, you run the risk of Vinted identifying your repost and removing the listing. To find out if Vinted currently penalises unmodified reposts, look at the comment below the list of modification options:

In the example above, Vinted no longer seeks to identify reposts: you can use unmodified photos without fear of being penalised!

They are sorted alphabetically A-Z in the dropdown list by their code. (Example code: S1_winterA, C12_smarties or F11_brush)

⚠️ Important: Clemz will change the main color of the frame to the color chosen under "Main frame color". This allows you to completely customize the frame and avoid multiple people having an exactly identical frame on their closets.

Frame models are sorted into 3 categories:
