10 Free Photo Editors for Your Poshmark Pics
Poshmark, by and large, is all about the photos. Sure, you need great descriptions to go along with the images, but first and foremost people are looking at those pics. To this end, you want to ensure the items in your closet look amazing.
Subpar images and flawed photos aren’t going to help your sales—in fact, if anything it could hurt you in the long run. If your items don’t look appealing, poshers are going to stop viewing your closet. It’s as simple as that.
So if your goal is to take your Poshmark side hustle all the way and ultimately create a lucrative business, then you’re going to need to take that extra step and ensure your photos look appealing and professional.
It’s completely fine to take pictures with your iPhone, some of the best quality photos are done with smartphones. That said, there are times when pictures can use some retouching and editing. Of course, you don’t want to filter photos to the point where the clothing no longer resembles its actual condition, but things such as cropping and brightening, for instance, can help make your images truly closet-ready.

Your pictures are what sell your clothes. Taking a little extra time to make them perfect will only result in more sales in the long run.
