Tools for Rental Photos

How to AI Craigslist Apartment Photo Editor

  1. Upload your room photo

    Drop your phone photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works on any room - bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and outdoor spaces.

    Lighting fix: 15 seconds. Full cleanup with clutter removal: 30-40 seconds.
  2. Describe what you need

    Type 'brighten the room and make it look spacious and inviting' or 'remove the tenant's belongings and show the empty room' or 'fix the yellow lighting to show true wall color.'

    For small rooms, 'brighten with natural daylight feel' makes spaces look larger without being deceptive.
  3. Check for honest representation

    Verify the room looks accurate. Brightening is fine, but the room should still represent reality. Renters will visit in person - photos should match expectations.

  4. Edit all rooms consistently

    Photograph and edit every room, kitchen, bathroom, and any outdoor space. Use similar brightness and style for a cohesive listing that feels professional.

    Photograph rooms from the doorway for the widest angle and most accurate sense of space.

When Things Go Wrong

Room looks unrealistically large

Why: The AI may have altered perspective, making the room appear bigger than reality.

Try: keep the room proportions accurate, only fix the lighting and cleanliness

Brightening naturally makes rooms look a bit larger - this is fine. Distorted proportions are not.

Wall color changed after lighting fix

Why: Color correction shifted the paint color.

Try: maintain the exact wall paint color, only fix the lighting quality

Name the wall color if you know it: 'the walls are eggshell white' helps accuracy.

Windows look blown out or too bright

Why: Brightening the room over-exposed the window areas.

Try: brighten the room but keep the window view natural, balance indoor and outdoor light

HDR-style balance between room and window view looks most natural.

Furniture removal left artifacts

Why: Removing large items from a room can leave visual artifacts.

Try: Tap markers on the artifacts: 'clean up these spots where furniture was removed'

For complex removals, a second pass focused on cleanup areas improves results.

Room looks too sterile

Why: Over-cleaning made the space look like a hospital.

Try: keep the room looking natural and livable, just clean and bright

A little warmth makes rental photos more inviting than cold perfection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it deceptive to brighten dark apartment photos?

No. Brightening shows the room as it looks with good natural light. Most apartment photos are too dark because phone cameras underexpose indoor scenes. You are showing reality in better conditions, not creating a false impression.

Can I remove tenant belongings from photos?

Yes. If you are listing a unit that will be empty at move-in, removing current tenant items shows what the renter will actually get. Just make sure the room looks as it will when they move in.

How do I make small rooms look their best?

Bright lighting makes rooms appear more spacious. Photograph from the doorway for the widest angle. Remove clutter that makes spaces feel cramped. These are honest techniques that show the room at its best.

Should I edit every room in the apartment?

Yes. Edit all rooms, kitchen, bathroom, and any outdoor space with similar brightness and style. A consistent listing looks professional and thorough. Renters want to see every space.

Does this work for houses and condos too?

Yes. EditThisPic works on any real estate photos - apartments, houses, condos, townhouses, and commercial spaces.

How is this different from real estate photography services?

Professional real estate photography costs $100-300 per shoot. EditThisPic lets you enhance your own phone photos for free. Results are not identical to professional photography, but they are dramatically better than unedited phone photos.
