← The Thread: notes on shopping an outfit from a photo

Guides

How do you save a fit and find it again later?

Every search you run is kept, so you can come back to an outfit you found three weeks ago. Here is how that works, what signing in adds, and how to delete something.

Save to Pinterest

You search a screenshot, get eight garments, decide you will think about the coat, and close the tab. Three weeks later you want that coat.

It is still there. Every search you run is saved, and you can reopen it.

What gets saved?

Two things: the photo you uploaded, and the list of garments Snagfit found in it.

That is enough to bring the whole search back. Reopening a fit shows you the item names, categories, colours and details exactly as they were, without running the detection again.

Saved fits appear newest first, up to 60 of them. For most people that covers several months.

What is deliberately not saved?

The shops and the prices.

Those are fetched fresh every time you tap Snag it. A price stored three weeks ago would be wrong far more often than right, and a listing that sold out would still be sitting in your list, sending you to a dead page.

So an old fit gives you the garments, and a live search gives you the current places to buy them. That combination is the useful one.

Do you need an account to save a fit?

Saving works without signing in.

Your searches are tied to a session identity held in a secure cookie on your device. That identity is what your photos are filed under, and it is created the first time you search.

The catch is the obvious one. Clear your cookies, switch to a laptop, or use a different browser, and that identity is gone, along with your list.

What does signing in with Google add?

It attaches the same saved fits to your Google account instead of just to that browser.

The part worth knowing: anything you saved before signing in comes with you. Snagfit establishes the session identity before the Google flow starts, so your earlier anonymous searches link to the same account when you return. You do not lose them by signing in later.

After that, your fits are reachable from any device you sign in on.

How do you delete a saved fit?

Delete it from the saved strip. Both the photo and its item list are removed together, in one step.

There is no archive holding a second copy under a different name. The photo and its entry are stored as a pair and they are deleted as a pair.

Can anyone else see your saved fits?

Every stored photo and item list is filed under your own account identifier, and a request can only reach entries filed under the identifier in your own signed cookie. That prefix is the access control, not a setting that could be misconfigured.

A photo you upload is not published, posted, or shown to any other visitor.

What does the saved list look like?

Your past searches appear as a strip of saved fits, newest first, each showing when it was created.

Tapping one reopens it. You get the photo back and the garments that were found in it, exactly as they were, without the detection running again. From there you can tap Snag it on any item to run a fresh shopping search.

Times are shown relative for anything recent: just now, twenty minutes ago, three hours ago, four days ago. Past a week it switches to a date, which is about the point where "eleven days ago" stops being a useful way to think about it.

Up to 60 entries are listed. For most people that is several months of ordinary use, and older searches drop off the end rather than filling an endless archive you would never read.

Where are the saved photos stored?

Worth being concrete, because "saved" is a vague word.

Each upload is stored as two things: the image bytes, and a small record holding the garments that were found in it and when it was created. Both are filed under an identifier that belongs to your account, and that identifier is baked into the key each item is stored under.

That is not a permission setting that could be switched off by mistake. A request can only reach a photo whose key starts with the identifier in your own signed cookie, so there is no path by which one account's list could be handed to another.

The cookie itself is signed, marked HttpOnly so page scripts cannot read it, sent only over HTTPS, and scoped so another site cannot use it to make requests as you.

How do you use this on two devices?

The common case for signing in, and it is worth spelling out.

You screenshot things on your phone, because that is where you watch videos. You often want to shop properly on a laptop, because comparing six listings on a small screen is unpleasant.

Without an account those are two separate lists, since the identity lives in a cookie on one browser. Sign in with Google on both and it is one list. Screenshot and search on the phone, then open the saved fit on the laptop and work through the listings there.

Anything you saved anonymously on either device before signing in comes with you, so there is no cost to signing in later rather than at the start.

What happens if saving fails?

One design decision that shapes how this behaves.

If saving fails for any reason, Snagfit ignores the failure and shows you your results anyway. Your detection is never held up or lost because storage had a bad moment.

The tradeoff is that in rare cases a search may not appear in your saved list even though the results were fine. That is the correct way round. Losing a saved entry is a small annoyance; losing the result of a screenshot from a video that has already scrolled away is not.

What is the saved list good for?

Three uses, and the second is the one people discover late.

Coming back to something you were unsure about. The obvious one. You liked the coat, you did not want to decide in that moment, and now you do.

Re-running a search that failed. This is the underrated one. If a piece was sold out when you first looked, the saved fit lets you run the shopping search again later against a completely different set of listings. Stock returns and new sellers appear, which is why the same photo can give different results.

Remembering what something was called. You do not need to buy anything to get value from a name. "Camp collar linen shirt" is a phrase you can use anywhere, and having a list of them is quietly useful.

How do you work through a backlog?

The habit that makes all of this pay off.

Screenshot anything you like the moment you see it, without deciding whether you care. Stories vanish in a day, Lives cannot be rewound, and a video you scrolled past is hard to find again.

Then work through the camera roll when you have five minutes. Search several at once. The results are saved, so you are not committing to a decision by searching, and you can come back to the whole set later.

This turns a camera roll full of half-remembered outfits into something you can actually act on, rather than a folder you scroll past.

What exactly does deleting remove?

The photo and the record of what was in it are stored as a pair, and deleting removes both together in one operation.

There is no separate archive keeping a copy, and no version of the entry left behind pointing at a missing image. When it is gone from your list, both stored objects are gone.

If you would rather not keep a search at all, delete it as soon as you have what you need. Nothing else in the product depends on it being there.

Why is it worth reopening an old fit?

Because the shops moved, even though your photo did not.

A piece that was sold out in August is often back in October. New sellers list things constantly. Re-running the search on an old fit is looking at a different set of shelves, not the same set reshuffled, and there is a post on exactly why results shift.

If a first search came back with nothing you liked, that is the strongest reason to save it and try again later rather than giving up on it.

Common questions

Does Snagfit save your past searches?

Yes. Each search is kept as a saved fit with the photo and the garments that were found in it, newest first, so you can reopen an outfit you searched weeks ago. Tapping one reopens the item list without re-running the detection, and up to 60 saved fits are listed before older entries drop off.

Do you need an account to save a fit?

No. Saving works without signing in, because your searches are tied to a session identity stored in a secure cookie on your device. Signing in with Google attaches those same saved fits to your Google account, so they survive clearing your cookies or switching devices.

What happens to fits you saved before signing in?

They stay with you. Snagfit establishes the session identity before the Google sign-in begins, so anything saved anonymously is linked to the same account when you come back. You do not lose your earlier searches by signing in, so there is no cost to signing in later rather than at the start.

Are the product matches saved too?

No, and that is deliberate. The photo and the detected garments are saved; the shops and prices are fetched fresh every time you tap Snag it. A stored price from three weeks ago would be wrong more often than right and would send you to a listing that no longer exists.

How many saved fits does Snagfit keep?

Up to 60 are listed, newest first. That is enough for months of normal use, and older entries drop off the end of the list rather than being shown in a long archive. Each entry shows the photo and the garments found in it, so reopening one does not require running the detection again.

How do you delete a saved fit?

Delete it from the saved strip and both the photo and its item list are removed from storage together. There is no separate step and no copy left behind under a different key, since the photo and the record of what was in it are stored as a pair.

Can anyone else see your saved fits?

No. Every stored photo and item list is filed under your own account identifier, and a request can only reach entries filed under the identifier in your own signed cookie. A photo you upload is never published or shown to another visitor. That cookie is also HttpOnly, sent only over HTTPS, and scoped so another site cannot use it to make requests as you.

What is the point of reopening an old fit?

Stock changes. A piece that was sold out when you first searched is often back, and new listings appear constantly, so re-running the shopping search on an old fit genuinely looks at a different set of shelves rather than the same one. A piece sold out in August is often back by October.

A mirror selfie is the most common outfit photo on the internet and one of the worst inputs for a search. The phone covers the chest, the mirror halves the sharpness, and the room is in the frame.

How do you find a skirt from a photo?

A skirt is identified by its length, its shape and where it sits on the waist. All three depend on seeing the whole garment, and a seated photo shows none of them.
