Choose the right workflow

Use the tool that matchesthe problem in each photo.

A stronger listing does not require the same edit on every image. Review the complete set first, then use enhancement, staging, cleanup, or upscaling only where it improves the final presentation.

01

Improve an existing property photo

Correct lighting and presentation while preserving the photographed space.

02

Stage an empty room

Add a furnishing direction that helps buyers understand room purpose and scale.

03

Remove distracting details

Clean up temporary clutter before preparing the final listing image.

04

Prepare a small image for publishing

Upscale an image that looks right but lacks sufficient resolution.

Complete listing workflow

Review, improve, verify, and export.

Treat the listing as one visual set. Improve the base photos before staging selected rooms, then check the final images together for accuracy, consistency, and appropriate disclosure.

For platforms and higher-volume teams

Responsible listing presentation

Improve presentation without changing the property.

  • Do not remove or alter permanent architectural features.
  • Do not imply that generated furniture or decor is included with the property.
  • Disclose virtually staged images according to local rules and listing-platform requirements.
  • Review the complete image set for accuracy and consistency before publishing.
  • Remember that upscaling cannot recover every missing or severely blurred detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Photo Enhancer and Virtual Staging?+

Photo Enhancer improves the presentation of an existing property photo. Virtual Staging adds a furnishing direction to an empty or under-furnished room so viewers can better understand its possible use.

When should I use Image Upscaler?+

Use Image Upscaler after the image already looks right but is too small or compressed for its intended publishing format. It is an optional finishing step, not a required edit for every listing photo.

Can Object Remover be used on permanent property features?+

Use Object Remover for temporary clutter or distracting items. Do not remove permanent architectural features or other details that would materially change how the property is represented.

Should virtually staged listing photos be disclosed?+

Disclosure requirements vary by location and listing platform. Review the applicable rules and clearly identify virtually staged images whenever required.

Can I automate real estate photo enhancement?+

The Photo Enhancer API can connect enhancement tasks to a platform or custom production process. Review the current API documentation before designing a high-volume workflow.

Does the API process an entire listing in one request?+

Do not assume that a complete set of independent listing photos can be processed in one request. A higher-volume workflow can submit and manage enhancement tasks according to the current API documentation.

What should I check before publishing enhanced images?+

Review permanent features, image consistency, visible artifacts, virtual-staging disclosures, and the final file resolution. Compare the complete set rather than approving each image in isolation.
