Capture Guide

Capture Guide - Professional Measurement in an Instant

Millimeter accuracy starts with proper setup.

To achieve professional tailor precision in 0.92 seconds, follow the essential steps below.

Three Steps to Accurate Measurements

1. Place on a Flat Surface

Why it matters: Fabric drape and wrinkles can add or subtract centimeters from critical measurements like chest width, sleeve length, and inseam.

How to do it:

  • Use a floor or lay-flat board to keep the garment perfectly flat
  • Smooth the garment completely flat against the surface
  • Ensure no fabric is bunched, folded, or overlapping
  • For structured garments (blazers, jackets), button or zip them closed as they would be worn
  • For pants, ensure both legs lie flat without twisting

Pro Tip: For pants and jeans, align the inseam perfectly straight. Even small twists can affect length measurements by 1-2 centimeters.

2. Turn on Precision Guidance

Why it matters: Size AI uses your device's LiDAR sensor to capture accurate depth information. A 90-degree camera angle ensures depth measurements are true to the garment's actual dimensions.

How to do it:

  • Enable "Precision Guidance" in the camera view
  • The app will display real-time angle indicators
  • Green indicators mean you're at the optimal 90-degree angle
  • Yellow or red indicators mean you need to adjust your camera position
  • Hold steady until all indicators are green before capturing

What you'll see:

  • Distance indicator: Keep between 0.7-1.4 meters (2.3-4.6 feet). Green = ideal distance, orange = move closer or farther
  • Camera stability: Focus and exposure stability indicator
  • Lighting assessment: Confirms adequate lighting conditions

Pro Tip: If you're photographing on the floor, stand directly above the garment rather than kneeling at an angle. This naturally positions your camera at 90 degrees.

3. Smooth Out Wrinkles

Why it matters: Major wrinkles affect dimension accuracy—flatten fabric for precise measurements. A wrinkle can make a chest measurement appear 2-3 cm smaller or larger than actual.

How to do it:

  • Use your hands to smooth fabric from center outward
  • For persistent wrinkles, lightly steam or iron the garment first
  • Pay special attention to areas that will be measured: chest, shoulders, waist, hips
  • Don't worry about minor fabric texture—just eliminate major creases and folds

When to iron: Heavy denim, canvas, or structured fabrics benefit most from pre-ironing. Lightweight knits and jersey fabrics can usually be hand-smoothed.

Keep It In Frame

Always keep the entire garment visible. The camera needs to see all edges for accurate measurements.

Guidelines:

  • Full garment visibility: Ensure no part of the garment extends beyond frame edges (sleeves, hem, collar)
  • For larger garments: Step back to keep edges clear of frame boundaries. Use editing tools to refine measurements after
  • Center positioning: Keep the garment centered in the viewfinder for balanced measurements
  • Avoid blocking garment with hands or objects

Pro Tip: If a garment is too large to fit in frame at optimal distance (0.7-1.4m), step back until the full garment is visible. The app will adjust measurements based on distance automatically.

Optimize Visibility

Lighting and contrast help our AI identify garment edges and fabric details with precision.

Lighting Best Practices

  • Natural lighting: Use daylight for even, consistent lighting across the garment
  • Avoid harsh shadows: Don't use direct sunlight that creates overexposure
  • Consistent lighting: Ensure the entire garment is evenly lit
  • Indoor lighting: Use overhead lights or ring lights for even illumination if natural light isn't available
  • Avoid mixed lighting: Don't mix daylight and artificial light (creates color casts)

Background Contrast

The principle: High contrast between garment and background ensures clean edge detection.

  • Light garments: Use dark backgrounds
  • Dark garments: Use light backgrounds
  • Clean backgrounds: Avoid busy patterns or cluttered surfaces behind the garment

Good Background Options

  • Clean floors (wood, tile, stone, clean carpet)
  • Solid-color surfaces (white poster board, dark fabric sheet)
  • Lay-flat boards
  • Any clean, solid-colored surface with good contrast to garment

What to avoid: Busy patterns, cluttered surfaces, mixed textures behind the garment

Pro Tip: Keep a white poster board and a black poster board on hand. These two backgrounds will handle most garments perfectly.

🎯 Verify Measurements After Capture

IMPORTANT: After taking a photo, always check if the measurement arrows have been placed correctly.

How to verify:

  • Review the measurement overlay immediately after capture
  • Check that arrows point to correct garment edges (shoulders, chest, waist, hem, etc.)
  • Ensure no arrows are misplaced or pointing to wrinkles/shadows

If arrows are incorrect:

  • Option 1: Retake the photo (faster and recommended)
    • Adjust garment positioning or lighting
    • Ensure better garment visibility
    • Takes only a few seconds
  • Option 2: Use the precision editor (for minor adjustments)
    • Manually adjust arrow positions
    • Fine-tune any measurement points
    • Takes more time than retaking

Best practice: If multiple arrows are wrong or garment is poorly positioned, retake the photo. If only one or two arrows need small adjustments, use the editor.

Best Practices Summary

Follow these guidelines for optimal measurement accuracy:

  • ✅ Keep the full garment visible in frame
  • ✅ Lay garment flat against surface
  • ✅ Center the garment in the viewfinder
  • ✅ Maintain optimal distance (2.3-4.6 feet / 0.7-1.4 meters)
  • ✅ Use consistent, even lighting
  • ✅ Hold device steady during capture
  • ✅ Avoid blocking garment with hands or objects
  • ✅ Verify measurement arrows after capture
  • ✅ Retake if arrows are misplaced (faster than editing)

Result: Sub-centimeter accuracy measurements ready in under 1 second.

Capture Guide

Capture Guide - Professional Measurement in an Instant

Millimeter accuracy starts with proper setup.

To achieve professional tailor precision in 0.92 seconds, follow the essential steps below.

Three Steps to Accurate Measurements

1. Place on a Flat Surface

Why it matters: Fabric drape and wrinkles can add or subtract centimeters from critical measurements like chest width, sleeve length, and inseam.

How to do it:

  • Use a floor or lay-flat board to keep the garment perfectly flat
  • Smooth the garment completely flat against the surface
  • Ensure no fabric is bunched, folded, or overlapping
  • For structured garments (blazers, jackets), button or zip them closed as they would be worn
  • For pants, ensure both legs lie flat without twisting

Pro Tip: For pants and jeans, align the inseam perfectly straight. Even small twists can affect length measurements by 1-2 centimeters.

2. Turn on Precision Guidance

Why it matters: Size AI uses your device's LiDAR sensor to capture accurate depth information. A 90-degree camera angle ensures depth measurements are true to the garment's actual dimensions.

How to do it:

  • Enable "Precision Guidance" in the camera view
  • The app will display real-time angle indicators
  • Green indicators mean you're at the optimal 90-degree angle
  • Yellow or red indicators mean you need to adjust your camera position
  • Hold steady until all indicators are green before capturing

What you'll see:

  • Distance indicator: Keep between 0.7-1.4 meters (2.3-4.6 feet). Green = ideal distance, orange = move closer or farther
  • Camera stability: Focus and exposure stability indicator
  • Lighting assessment: Confirms adequate lighting conditions

Pro Tip: If you're photographing on the floor, stand directly above the garment rather than kneeling at an angle. This naturally positions your camera at 90 degrees.

3. Smooth Out Wrinkles

Why it matters: Major wrinkles affect dimension accuracy—flatten fabric for precise measurements. A wrinkle can make a chest measurement appear 2-3 cm smaller or larger than actual.

How to do it:

  • Use your hands to smooth fabric from center outward
  • For persistent wrinkles, lightly steam or iron the garment first
  • Pay special attention to areas that will be measured: chest, shoulders, waist, hips
  • Don't worry about minor fabric texture—just eliminate major creases and folds

When to iron: Heavy denim, canvas, or structured fabrics benefit most from pre-ironing. Lightweight knits and jersey fabrics can usually be hand-smoothed.

Keep It In Frame

Always keep the entire garment visible. The camera needs to see all edges for accurate measurements.

Guidelines:

  • Full garment visibility: Ensure no part of the garment extends beyond frame edges (sleeves, hem, collar)
  • For larger garments: Step back to keep edges clear of frame boundaries. Use editing tools to refine measurements after
  • Center positioning: Keep the garment centered in the viewfinder for balanced measurements
  • Avoid blocking garment with hands or objects

Pro Tip: If a garment is too large to fit in frame at optimal distance (0.7-1.4m), step back until the full garment is visible. The app will adjust measurements based on distance automatically.

Optimize Visibility

Lighting and contrast help our AI identify garment edges and fabric details with precision.

Lighting Best Practices

  • Natural lighting: Use daylight for even, consistent lighting across the garment
  • Avoid harsh shadows: Don't use direct sunlight that creates overexposure
  • Consistent lighting: Ensure the entire garment is evenly lit
  • Indoor lighting: Use overhead lights or ring lights for even illumination if natural light isn't available
  • Avoid mixed lighting: Don't mix daylight and artificial light (creates color casts)

Background Contrast

The principle: High contrast between garment and background ensures clean edge detection.

  • Light garments: Use dark backgrounds
  • Dark garments: Use light backgrounds
  • Clean backgrounds: Avoid busy patterns or cluttered surfaces behind the garment

Good Background Options

  • Clean floors (wood, tile, stone, clean carpet)
  • Solid-color surfaces (white poster board, dark fabric sheet)
  • Lay-flat boards
  • Any clean, solid-colored surface with good contrast to garment

What to avoid: Busy patterns, cluttered surfaces, mixed textures behind the garment

Pro Tip: Keep a white poster board and a black poster board on hand. These two backgrounds will handle most garments perfectly.

🎯 Verify Measurements After Capture

IMPORTANT: After taking a photo, always check if the measurement arrows have been placed correctly.

How to verify:

  • Review the measurement overlay immediately after capture
  • Check that arrows point to correct garment edges (shoulders, chest, waist, hem, etc.)
  • Ensure no arrows are misplaced or pointing to wrinkles/shadows

If arrows are incorrect:

  • Option 1: Retake the photo (faster and recommended)
    • Adjust garment positioning or lighting
    • Ensure better garment visibility
    • Takes only a few seconds
  • Option 2: Use the precision editor (for minor adjustments)
    • Manually adjust arrow positions
    • Fine-tune any measurement points
    • Takes more time than retaking

Best practice: If multiple arrows are wrong or garment is poorly positioned, retake the photo. If only one or two arrows need small adjustments, use the editor.

Best Practices Summary

Follow these guidelines for optimal measurement accuracy:

  • ✅ Keep the full garment visible in frame
  • ✅ Lay garment flat against surface
  • ✅ Center the garment in the viewfinder
  • ✅ Maintain optimal distance (2.3-4.6 feet / 0.7-1.4 meters)
  • ✅ Use consistent, even lighting
  • ✅ Hold device steady during capture
  • ✅ Avoid blocking garment with hands or objects
  • ✅ Verify measurement arrows after capture
  • ✅ Retake if arrows are misplaced (faster than editing)

Result: Sub-centimeter accuracy measurements ready in under 1 second.
