Choose a photo or a product link.
Open Add Piece and choose Camera, Library or Import Link. Use a clear image of one item, or paste a product page for the version you own. Pieces uses the input to help fill in the item’s identity while you add your personal details.
A full view is useful for recognizing the product’s shape. A readable label or reference helps distinguish similar versions. For a sneaker, check the colorway and size; for a watch, check the reference and configuration. Avoid treating a brand name alone as an exact match.
Confirm what Pieces found.
Review the suggested brand and product before confirming the match. Check the category, color and size against your own piece. If the identity is wrong, correct it before relying on the market result. A similar-looking item can have a different resale market.
This is assisted identification: a photo does not establish authenticity, and a result is not guaranteed for every item. Keep the details you know connected to the piece you actually own.
Add what the photo cannot tell us.
Enter what you paid and the other requested ownership details. Your purchase price is a record of your transaction; it stays separate from the market estimate. Choose the closet where the piece belongs. Additional closets require Pieces+, which lets a watch rotation and a clothing archive have their own views.
For a repeatable capture routine, use the wardrobe cataloging guide. Start with a few pieces whose names and purchase details you know, then work through the collection.
Review the evidence after you save.
Submitting the piece starts market research. You can keep using Pieces while it runs. When a result is available, review the source listings, estimated range and confidence alongside the item. Check that the evidence fits the right version and size.
An asking price is not a completed sale. Thin or conflicting evidence can leave an item unpriced or needing review. Pieces lets you submit an exact public source when you have one. The market estimate methodology explains how identity and pricing evidence fit together.
Keep building from the record.
Once pieces are in your closet, you can revisit their details and select eligible items for a collection P&L card. Keep the things you are considering in your wishlist, separate from the inventory you own.
Does photo inventory work offline?
Photo and link processing use online services and require your approval in Pieces. Browsing an existing record is a different task from identifying a new item; offline identification is not offered.
