Can I use GRYYD on mobile devices?
Yes! GRYYD works on mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Android Chrome) with full functionality. However, desktop is recommended for optimal editing experience due to larger screen and faster uploads.
Overview
GRYYD is fully accessible on mobile devices through web browsers—no app installation required. All core features (project creation, photo upload, prompt writing, image generation, download) work on smartphones and tablets. However, the platform is optimized for desktop workflows, particularly for tasks requiring detailed editing, multi-file management, or extensive image comparison. This FAQ compares mobile vs. desktop capabilities to help you choose the right device for your task.

Mobile Capabilities
What Works Well on Mobile:
- Quick project creation on-the-go
- Uploading product photos directly from smartphone camera roll
- Starting draft generation (runs on server, not device)
- Checking generation progress notifications
- Downloading final images to device gallery
What's Challenging on Mobile:
- Small screen real estate: Comparing 4-10 image variations side-by-side is difficult on 6\" phone screens
- Typing long prompts: Mobile keyboards and autocorrect can slow down detailed prompt writing
- Multi-file uploads: Selecting and uploading 10 product photos is tedious compared to desktop drag-and-drop
- Cellular data usage: Uploading 5-10 high-res product photos (5-20MB each) consumes significant data
Recommended Mobile Workflow
Best Practice: Hybrid Approach
On Mobile (Quick Tasks):
- Capture product photos with smartphone camera (high-quality, good lighting)
- Create project and upload photos immediately (while images are fresh)
- Write short prompt placeholder or use voice-to-text for draft ideas
- Start generation if using simple settings
On Desktop (Detailed Work):
- Refine prompts with full keyboard and larger text editor
- Upload reference images and configure advanced settings
- Compare generated variations in side-by-side grid view
- Select best images, apply upscaling, and batch download
Seamless Sync: All draft work auto-saves to cloud. Start on mobile, finish on desktop—no data loss or re-uploading.
Tablet Experience
Tablets (10\"+ screens) offer middle ground:
- iPad Pro, Samsung Galaxy Tab: Larger screens make editing feasible
- Landscape mode provides more workspace than phone
- Still recommend desktop for professional workflows with 20+ variations
Pro Tip: Use mobile for capturing and uploading product photos in real-time (e.g., immediately after photoshoot), then switch to desktop for prompt refinement and result curation. This maximizes convenience without sacrificing editing quality.
