Photo enhancement
Real estate photo editing that does not fake the property
Phone photos taken on a gray afternoon can look like a photographer's work if the exposure, the verticals and the colour are right. That is all this service does, from $4.50 per image, and that is why it is allowed on every platform.
What is included
- Exposure and contrast so rooms look as bright as they feel in person.
- White balance that removes yellow bulbs and blue shadows.
- Straightened verticals so walls and door frames stand upright.
- Sky and colour corrected where a window or an exterior is in the frame.
Nothing is added to the room and nothing is removed from it. Because of that, pure enhancement is not labelled as AI-altered: nothing in the room changed.
What it is not
If you ask for something that adds or removes an element (staging, a renovation preview, sky replacement, removing an object), it is a different service with its own label, see the price list. Defects always stay: cracks, stains, mould and damage are not removed with or without a label. If a photo only works by hiding a defect, we tell you and suggest a different angle.
Where this matters most: short-term rentals
Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo want photos that show the unit as guests will find it. Booking.com bans misleading AI content, Airbnb bans AI edits that hide flaws or add amenities. Enhancement stays inside those rules. The Airbnb & Booking Pack at $109 covers up to 25 enhanced photos, 2 dusk conversions, and advice on photo order and the cover photo, with the platform photo rules checked.
Furnishing previews for a unit you are about to furnish are delivered separately and labelled "not for the listing".

Standard delivery is 24 hours. We work on Central European Time, so a US upload in the evening is back the next morning. We do not have a published before/after for pure enhancement yet; send one photo and you get it back free.
Which photos work
Whatever you have: phone photos, a photographer's set or Matterport exports. A long edge of 2,500 px or more is ideal, smaller works. One photo per room taken from the doorway corner with the window in frame gives the best result.
Questions
Do you remove cars, cables or clutter?
Item removal is a separate service at $13 per image, and it is labelled. Defects in the property itself, such as damage, are never removed.
Is enhancement allowed on Airbnb and Booking.com?
Yes. Both platforms want photos that show the unit as guests will find it. Exposure, colour and straightened verticals are normal photo editing; adding or removing things is what they ban.
Do I get the original back?
Yes, the unaltered original is always part of the delivery.
Send one empty room. Get it back staged, labelled, with the original, within 24 hours. If you like it, order a pack. If not, you lost nothing.
