Make the room look the way it looked when you stood in it

A real listing. Drag to compare, or see more examples.

Every photo you send is colour-corrected, and any real fault is fixed. The room itself stays exactly as it is.

R449 per listing, no subscription. Photos usually back within 24 hours.

Five faults we fix

Our photo enhancement fixes each fault only when your photo has it. A well-shot photo comes back looking like itself, with the colour tidied up.

The room came out too dark

Shadows and exposure are lifted, without blowing out the windows.
The colours look wrong

White balance is corrected, so white walls come back to white.
The photo looks flat and hazy

Haze is cleared and contrast recovered across the frame.
The walls are leaning

The photo is straightened and the vertical lines corrected.
It came out grainy

Noise is reduced without smearing the detail, even in darker rooms.

Corrected, never changed

Enhancement fixes how the photo was taken. The room the buyer sees is the room you stood in.

What we correct

Exposure and shadows
Colour and white balance

The size of the room

Only virtually staged photos carry furniture that is not there; our disclosure policy says which is which. Enhancement comes with every listing at R449, for up to 15 rooms, with the staging, up to three dusk shots where your photos suit it, and the description. Exteriors can also come back as dusk shots, and our photo guide helps you take a photo that needs less fixing. See what a listing includes.

Enhancement questions, answered

How is enhancement different from virtual staging?

Enhancement corrects the photo. Staging adds furniture to an empty room. A listing usually needs both, and only the staged photos carry furniture that is not there.

My photos are already decent. Will I see a difference?

Probably not much, and that is intended. Each correction runs only where the photo has that fault, so a well-shot listing comes back looking like itself.

Will an enhanced photo still look like the property?

That is the point of it. A photo that oversells a room costs you the viewing when the buyer arrives, so corrections are held to what the room really looked like.

Do I need a good camera for this to work?

A phone is enough. Enhancement fixes how a photo was captured, not where you stood, so take it from a sensible corner with the room tidy. Our photo guide covers the rest.
