Smart Sort: Turn a Camera Roll into Separate eBay Items

Drop up to 200 photos of a whole haul into Prelo. Smart Sort groups them by item, you fix anything off, then create the items in one go.

You photographed the whole haul, every item from every angle, and now your camera roll is one long mix. Smart Sort splits it into separate items. The shop in the video uses example data.

Drop the whole roll

Open Upload. Drop all the photos at once, up to 200, with no sorting into folders first. If you write a code on tape in every photo of each item, tick My items are SKU-tagged and it groups by that code instead.

Sorting

The AI groups the photos by item. You can leave the page: sorting carries on in the background and shows in the corner of every screen. Sorting is free. Credits are only used later, when the items are created and analysed: one per item.

Check the groups

Each group is a card with its photos.

  • Tap a group's name to rename it. It's only a label; the AI writes the real title.
  • A photo in the wrong group? Drag it to the right one (on a phone, press and hold first).
  • Or select photos and use the bar at the bottom: Move to, New Group, Ungroup or Delete.
  • Two items stuck in one group? Select the second one's photos and drop them on New item.
  • Deleting a group doesn't delete its photos; they move to Ungrouped.
  • Discard sort, at the top, throws the whole sort away and creates nothing.

Create the items

Press Create items. You see the count, the photos and the credits needed. Confirming creates the items and runs the AI on each one. If you're short of credits, it tells you how many you can create now. You land on My Items under New while it works, and the items fill in when the analysis finishes.

One item?

If the AI finds just one item, it skips the review. And with up to 12 photos of one thing, It's all one item skips sorting altogether.
