How do I add a wish from a photo?

Drop a photo into the Add Wish bar and Wishpicks suggests the wish name and a short description for you to review and save.

Written by Wishpicks

Drop the photo into the Add Wish bar. Wishpicks attaches the image, looks at it, and suggests a wish name plus a short description if you want one. You can edit everything before you save.

Steps

  1. Open the wishlist you want to add to.

  2. Get the photo into the Add Wish bar in any of three ways:

    • Click the photo icon (Add a photo) at the left of the bar and choose a file.

    • Focus the bar and paste an image you've copied (Cmd/Ctrl+V).

    • Drag an image file onto the bar and drop it.

  3. A new wish opens with the photo attached and the name filled in for you.

  4. Check what's there and change anything you want. Add the price and store link yourself if you have them.

  5. Save the wish.

Good to know

This isn't search-by-photo. The photo doesn't go looking for matching products. It opens a new wish with the image attached and suggests a name and description from what's in the picture.

The price and store link never come from a photo. Add those yourself if you want them.

Photos can be up to 5 MB, and anything bigger is turned away with a "too large" message. Allowed types are JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, SVG, and BMP.

The form stays fully editable, and Wishpicks only fills in fields you've left blank. It never changes what you've already typed. If the photo isn't a product you'll get no suggestions and just fill the wish in yourself; the photo never blocks the add.

Want to put a photo on a wish you already have? That's a different thing: see "How do I attach my own photo to a wish?"

Adding a wish to a shared wishlist needs Contributor access or higher; see "What is the difference between viewing and editing access?" in the Shared Wishlists collection.
