AI photos for? Against? What about Vinted with them?

hello - Vinted bans the use of AI and here’s what I found this morning as an ad when I opened Vinted: Your clothes worn by AI
Style your link, choose a template, get a pro photo effortlessly.

This is an advertisement, of course, but should it appear here??

The problem with Vinted is that it’s impossible to understand anything about their regulations.

Hello!

This site has been around for a while.
Can you please tell me the source regarding Vinted’s prohibited use of AI photos? I’m interested!

Hello Lucile - well the source is right here with all the examples of ad removal, temporary shutdowns for several days, or permanently closed shops.

Thank you for your response.
Vinted does not clearly state this in its Terms and Conditions.
The current restrictions are mostly due to duplicates rather than AI photos for some.

Hello everyone,

I’m chiming in: I’m the creator of Vintedify, an AI photo generation tool designed for Vinted, and I wanted to share some feedback on what you’re discussing in this thread.

First, we are completely aligned with what @Lucile said in message #7: AI is not meant to replace all your photos. It’s a tool that helps out when you can’t or don’t want to model the clothing yourself — or typically when an item has been sitting for a long time despite good photos on a hanger/flat lay. In our case, photos are generated on display dress forms (not photorealistic human models), which gives a result closer to a shop window than a « perfect e-commerce » photo.

The observation by @cedced in message #13 (« my images are too perfect ») actually echoes what we’re seeing too: results like ChatGPT/Gemini often deviate from Vinted’s usual aesthetic, which can attract reporting flags. This is a real issue we’re continuously working on.

It’s also worth noting, and it’s important to be transparent about this: no mainstream AI tool today can guarantee 100% passing of Vinted’s checks.

Some best practices that emerge from what we see with our users, and which align with the advice already shared here by Lucile and viedemode:

  • Keep the AI photo only as the first image, and keep your real photos for the rest
  • Mention in the description that the first photo is generated (this builds trust and reduces issues)
  • Don’t use AI for your entire wardrobe, but rather for items that are struggling to sell

If some of you would like to try a different tool, Vintedify offers 3 free credits upon registration, with no subscription. The process is to paste the link to your Vinted listing, and the AI generates optimized photos. I’ll be on the forum if you have any questions or feedback to share.

Good luck to all of you with Vinted!

Vinted has just added the feature to report AI photos, this will certainly change the impact of ads in one way or another.

I just saw this this morning. I think we’re going to have a hard time avoiding it.

Isn’t that a lure for reports?

Well, we can expect waves of reports and blocks even with real photos. Given how Vinted operates, it will be enough for a certain number of malicious reports to cause an account to be suspended.

No, I misspoke, it is when creating the ad that we can indicate that photos were taken by AI.

ah ok, I misunderstood

However, I don’t see it in my account.

It’s a bit of a double-edged sword, but none of our clients have had any issues. The purpose of our application is not to replace the photo but to show the garment being worn if you can’t do it yourself, and in no case to deceive the buyer. We clearly state to always include real photos of your product.

I don’t have the option either on my end

you could start the trend of worn or used toys :slight_smile:

I was mainly thinking about the « photos from the web » pattern for which I was flooded just because I had white backgrounds

Oh yes, I see the type of photo, it’s true that it can seem fake, try our tool, you’ll see what it gives you with photos without backgrounds, you shouldn’t have any more white background problems, we also add perspectives with different photo backgrounds.

Amazing, I thought it had been put in place for everyone. Then again, I only sell clothes, maybe it’s because of that.

I have a few shoes/accessories but 98% of clothes too :slightly_smiling_face:

For those of you who regularly use AI to sell on Vinted, how do you do it? Because the few times I’ve tried, my listings were hidden shortly after with a warning of blocking… Yet it was faithful to the clothing sold and I only put the first photo, the rest was on a hanger. Are there any techniques I don’t know about to get around this? :sweat_smile:

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I’ve had it for a few days on Yandex too.

I check it but there’s no difference from another dressing’s perspective. For the moment, other clients don’t see it.

In this case, reports for AI should no longer have an impact.
