Live · Photo Studio · Batch workspace

Every listing photo, magazine-grade.

Shoot on your phone, upload the lot. Photo Studio sorts every photo into its room, stages the empty ones, brightens the tired ones and tidies the exterior — up to 40 photos in one batch, each one disclosed and ready to list.

How it works

Seven steps from phone shots to listing gallery.

Photo Studio is a batch workspace, not a single-photo filter — you upload once and everything downstream is organised, staged and disclosed for you.

1

Bring in the photos

Upload straight from your phone or desktop, pick from an existing listing's gallery — Rightmove and CRM-fed listings both work through the same cross-source picker — or paste a photo URL. Mix all three in one batch of up to 40 photos.

2

Auto-sort into rooms

Tap Sort and a vision AI classifies the whole shoot into named rooms — kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and more — working in chunks of up to 10 photos and carrying the room list forward, so "Bedroom 2" means the same physical room from the first chunk to the last. Free to run, and every name is yours to edit.

3

Choose what each room needs

Six modes: virtual staging, repaint walls, declutter and depersonalise, enhance lighting and clarity, exterior clean-up, or a fully custom prompt. Pick a style from the 18-look interior lookbook, or let the quick stylist read the photo and propose three tailored directions as tappable suggestions.

4

One design brief, the whole property

Staging a property generates a single design brief once per batch — palette, accents, furniture direction — so every room reads as one coherent scheme, deliberately varied from your branch's recent instructions rather than repeating the same look street after street.

5

Angles of the same room, chained together

Got three photos of one lounge from different corners? Group them as a room and turn chaining on. The first render becomes the anchor; every other angle is staged against its output, so the same sofa and rug appear in every shot of that room, not a different guess per photo.

6

Render, review, touch up

Pick Draft or Final HD quality and generate the batch. Every result lands in a grouped before/after gallery. Not quite right in one corner? Touch-up paints a mask over just that area and regenerates it alone — everything outside the mask stays pixel-identical.

7

Disclose and save to the listing

Every enhanced photo carries a disclosure label — Virtually staged or Digitally enhanced — switched on by default, with an optional branded watermark. Save any result straight back onto the matching listing's gallery, no download-and-reupload round trip.

From the empty room to the listing

Shoot. Sort. Upload. Reveal.

Four steps between the front door and a photo you'd actually put on the portal.

1 · At the property

Shoot on your phone

No tripod, no lighting kit. Walk the rooms, snap what's there — tired carpet, bare walls, an empty lounge. Photo Studio does the rest later.

2 · While the kettle's on

Watch it sort itself

Tap Sort and the vision AI names every photo's room in batches of up to 10, before you've picked a single style.

3 · Back at the desk

Choose the styling

Set a mode per room — staging, repaint, declutter, or a straightforward enhance — and pick a style from the lookbook.

4 · Ready to list

A gallery worth the click

Disclosed, watermarked if you want it, saved straight to the listing. The photo that gets someone to book a viewing, not scroll past.

What actually happens to your photos

One room staged. A whole shoot sorted.

Before Staged

Empty room in. Staged room out.

The walls, the window and the floor plan never move — only furniture, decor and light change. Every staged result carries a Virtually staged disclosure label by default, so what you're showing a buyer is always honest about what's real.

Vision AI · ≤10 photos per pass · names carried across the batch

One upload, every photo in its place

Dump the whole shoot in and the auto-sorter names every photo's room before you've picked a style. Chunks of up to 10 photos at a time, threading the room list forward, so a 40-photo shoot still comes out with consistent names throughout.

Before the diary fills up

The listing-photo scramble, rebuilt.

The old way

  • Book a photographer, wait days for a slot, wait again for the edit
  • Vacant properties list looking bare — no furniture, no sense of scale
  • Sort and rename 150 photos by hand before anyone can upload them
  • Grey sky, a bin by the front door, someone's car in every exterior shot

With Photo Studio

  • Shoot on your own phone, upload the same afternoon
  • Empty rooms furnished with one cohesive design brief per property
  • Auto-sort names every photo's room before you've touched a dropdown
  • Blue sky, a green lawn and a clear driveway with one tap each

A day in the life

Vacant to viewing-ready, same day.

How a negotiator turns an empty new instruction into a full listing gallery before close of play.

10:15

Keys collected, house empty

Dan picks up the keys to a vacant two-bed terrace in Cardiff, vendor already moved out. Bare rooms, no furniture, a new instruction that needs to go live this week.

10:30

22 photos on his phone, front room to garden

Every room, the hallway, the garden and the front elevation — fifteen minutes with his phone, no tripod, no waiting for a photographer's diary to clear.

11:05

Uploaded, sorted, staged

Back at the branch, he uploads all 22 in one batch. Auto-sort groups them into five rooms before he's finished his coffee; he sets the living room and both bedrooms to virtual staging, Scandi style, and leaves the kitchen and bathroom as a straight enhance.

While the kettle's on

  • All 22 photos sorted into five named rooms
  • One design brief covering both bedrooms and the lounge

By lunchtime

  • Exterior shot cleaned up — blue sky, bin and wheelie box removed
  • All 22 results back, disclosure labels applied automatically

50 min

from keys to a full gallery

Dan reviews the results, touches up a light switch that came out oddly staged in the hallway shot, and saves every photo straight onto the listing. No courier, no waiting on an external photographer's turnaround.

14:00

Live before the afternoon viewings

The listing goes live with a furnished, brightened gallery — the same afternoon the keys were collected, not the following week.

Six modes, one workspace

Not every photo needs the same fix.

Set a mode per room, or per photo — different rooms in the same batch can do different things.

Virtually staged

Virtual staging

Furnishes an empty or tired room with AI-staged furniture and decor, matched to the property's design brief and consistent across every angle of the same room.

Repaint walls

Change a wall colour without touching anything else in the room — useful for a dated feature wall or a landlord asking "what would neutral look like?"

A clutter-free, minimally furnished living room

Declutter & depersonalise

Clears personal items, clutter and mess from an occupied room so buyers see the space, not the current owner's belongings — the structure stays untouched.

A bright, well-lit contemporary living room

Enhance only

Lighting and clarity, nothing else. For a room that's already furnished and photographs fine but needs a touch more brightness and colour accuracy.

Blue sky, golden hour or twilight sky swap, a greener lawn, bins, cars and For Sale boards removed — chattel-level tidying, never the building itself.

Touch-up & custom

Paint a mask over one problem area and describe the fix — only that patch regenerates. Or skip the presets entirely and write your own free-text prompt.

Every image is real Photo Studio output. The staging and exterior examples carry their disclosure label; the others show a representative result for that mode.

Multi-angle consistency · our edge

The same room, staged the same —
from every angle.

Most AI staging tools treat every photo on its own, so the sofa, the rug and the wall colour change from shot to shot. Photo Studio anchors the whole room to one render — the furniture, palette and layout hold across every angle, so a buyer scrolling your gallery sees one coherent home, not three different ones.

Anchored to one render

Furniture, palette and layout stay identical across every photo of the room — the difference between a gallery that looks like one home and one that looks like three.

Real Photo Studio output — the same bedroom staged once, shown across three of its own camera angles. Drag each to compare against the empty original.

The interior lookbook

18 staging looks, one dropdown.

Each style is a full furnishing direction, not a single adjective — palette, materials, hero pieces and lighting all specified, so styles actually look different from one another.

Every image here is real Photo Studio output — one empty living room, staged 18 ways. Each style also drives the quick stylist's suggestions and the outdoor lookbook's clean-up looks.

The exterior lookbook

Kerb appeal, on a grey day.

One frontage, one photo, taken under a flat British sky — then given the sky, the light and the tidy-up a professional shoot would have waited weeks for. The brickwork, roofline and boundaries never move.

Honest by default

The AI stages. It never invents the room.

Every render — indoors or out — carries strict guardrails baked into the prompt. Walls, windows, doorways, fitted kitchen units, fireplaces, radiators, flooring and room proportions must stay exactly as in the source photo. Outdoors, the building's structure, roofline and boundaries are equally protected. Only furniture, decor, surface finish, sky and removable clutter can change — and every result carries a disclosure label so buyers know what they're looking at.

Who it's for

Every branch has a photo backlog somewhere.

The negotiator

A vacant instruction, no photographer slot free

A new instruction with an empty house shouldn't sit unlisted for a week waiting on a photographer's diary. Shoot it yourself, stage it, and list it the same day.

The branch manager

One consistent standard, whoever took the photos

Every negotiator's phone shots go through the same enhancement, the same disclosure rules and the same watermark — the gallery looks the same whoever did the viewing.

The lettings team

Refreshing a tired portfolio without a reshoot

Existing listing photos due a refresh — brighten, declutter, or clean up the exterior — without booking a new shoot or disturbing a tenant for another visit.

FAQ

Common questions about Photo Studio

Is virtual staging disclosed to buyers?

Yes, always. Every enhanced photo carries a disclosure label — Virtually staged for furnished rooms, Digitally enhanced for everything else — switched on by default. You can turn it off per batch, but the label is the honest default because UK consumer protection guidance requires materially altered listing photos to be clearly disclosed.

Will the AI change the structure of the room?

No. Every render carries strict guardrails: walls, windows, doorways, fitted kitchen units, fireplaces, radiators, flooring layout and room proportions must stay exactly as in the source photo. Only furniture, soft furnishings, decor and surface finish can change indoors; only sky, lawn, driveway surfaces and removable clutter can change outdoors. Nothing is ever invented that changes what the room actually is.

How does automatic room sorting work?

Upload a whole shoot and a vision AI classifies each photo into a named room — kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and so on — in batches of up to 10 photos at a time, carrying the room list forward so "Bedroom 2" means the same physical room in every batch. It's free, it's a convenience layer, and you can always rename or reassign any photo yourself.

What is the design brief in virtual staging?

When you stage a property, Photo Studio generates one cohesive decor scheme — palette, accent colours, furniture style — once per batch, so every room in that property is furnished as if by the same interior designer. It's deliberately varied from your branch's recent staging jobs, so two listings on the same road don't come out looking identical.

What if a property has several photos of the same room?

Group them as one room and turn chaining on. The first photo becomes the anchor render; every other angle of that room is then staged against the anchor's output, so the sofa, rug and artwork match from every angle instead of a different look per photo.

What does Photo Studio cost?

Standard quality is 20p a photo, Final HD is 30p. AI-Tools subscribers get a monthly fair-use allowance of enhancements included free; pay-as-you-go top-up packs are available once you're outside an allowance or not subscribed. Auto room sorting and the quick stylist suggestions don't cost anything to run.

Can I use my own reference photo for the style?

Yes. Upload a reference or style image alongside your source photos and the render is guided by it, on top of your chosen style. You can also just describe what you want in the free-text prompt, or tap one of the three AI-suggested styling directions the quick stylist proposes from the photo itself.

Can I touch up just one part of a photo?

Yes. Touch-up is masked inpainting — paint over the area you want changed (a stray cable, a patch of damp, a cluttered corner) and describe the fix. Only the masked region is regenerated; every pixel outside it stays exactly as it was, matched for lighting, shadow and perspective.

Can enhanced photos go straight onto the listing?

Yes. From the result gallery, save any finished photo straight back onto the matching listing's media — no download-and-reupload round trip. It lands as a new gallery image tagged as enhanced, ready for you to set live.

Does it work for exterior and garden photos as well as interiors?

Yes. Exterior clean-up covers sky swaps (blue, golden hour or twilight), greening a patchy lawn, and removing bins, parked cars and for-sale boards from the shot — all chattel-level changes, never the building's structure or roofline. Rooms tagged garden or exterior by the auto-sorter are routed to the correct outdoor prompt automatically, even mid-batch.

Where do source photos come from?

Three ways: upload straight from your phone or desktop, pick from an existing listing's gallery (Rightmove and CRM-fed listings both work through the cross-source picker), or paste a photo URL. All three can sit in the same batch, up to 40 photos at once.
