Tools for Rental Property Photos

How to AI Facebook Marketplace Rental Property Photo Editor

  1. Photograph each room

    Shoot from doorways and corners to capture the full room. Open all curtains and blinds for natural light. Turn on all lights. Take horizontal (landscape) photos for rooms and vertical (portrait) for narrow spaces like bathrooms.

    Lighting enhancement: 20 seconds. Object removal: 20-25 seconds.
    Shoot during mid-morning to mid-afternoon for the best natural light through windows.
  2. Describe what needs fixing

    Upload to EditThisPic and type: 'brighten the room and make it look spacious and inviting' or 'fix the yellow lighting and remove the clutter on the counter.'

    For dark rooms: 'dramatically brighten the room, make it look like a sunny day with windows open'
  3. Keep it honest

    Check that the room looks accurate in terms of size and features. Brightening and decluttering is fine, but don't make a dark basement look like a penthouse. Renters will visit in person.

  4. Download and list

    Download edited photos. Include every room, the kitchen, bathroom, any outdoor space, and the building exterior. Complete photo coverage reduces 'can I see more photos?' messages.

    Edit your best 5-8 room photos. Lead with the brightest, most spacious-looking room.

When Things Go Wrong

Room looks unrealistically bright after editing

Why: Over-brightening can make rooms look unnatural and set false expectations for viewers.

Try: brighten the room moderately to look like a well-lit day, keep it looking natural and realistic

The goal is 'bright afternoon' not 'studio lights.' Keep some natural shadow for depth.

Wall color looks wrong after lighting fix

Why: Removing a yellow color cast can shift wall colors, making beige look gray or warm white look blue.

Try: fix the lighting but keep the wall color accurate, the walls are actually light beige

Mention the actual wall color in your prompt so the AI knows what to preserve.

Clutter removal left weird patches on walls or floor

Why: The AI filled in where removed objects were, but the texture or color doesn't match perfectly.

Try: Tap markers on the patchy areas, then: make these areas match the surrounding wall/floor naturally

Remove fewer objects at once for cleaner results. Big removals may take 2-3 iterations.

Windows appear blown out (pure white) after brightening

Why: Brightening the room made the already-bright windows lose all detail and look like white rectangles.

Try: brighten the room but keep the windows showing some view or sky, don't blow them out to pure white

Take photos with windows behind you rather than facing them for better exposure balance.

Room still looks small after editing

Why: Lighting and color fixes help but can't change the physical geometry captured by the camera.

Try: brighten all corners evenly, the room should feel open and airy, remove any dark shadows in corners

Shoot from doorways at chest height for the most spacious perspective. Avoid shooting into corners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay to brighten rental photos? Won't renters be disappointed?

Brightening photos to match how the room looks on a sunny day is perfectly fine and expected. The room really does look that good when natural light is optimal. Just don't make a windowless basement look like a sunlit loft. The goal is to show the space at its best, not misrepresent it.

Should I photograph before or after the previous tenant moves out?

After is ideal, but if you need to list early, photograph around the tenant's stuff and use EditThisPic to remove clutter. Ask the tenant for a window of 20 minutes to take photos with their cooperation. If that's not possible, edit out what you can.

How many photos should a rental listing have?

Include every room: living room, bedroom(s), kitchen, bathroom(s), any storage or closets, and the building exterior. 8-12 photos is the sweet spot. Renters who can see everything are more likely to schedule a viewing.

Can I use virtual staging for empty rooms?

EditThisPic can brighten and enhance empty rooms to look their best. For full virtual staging (adding furniture to empty rooms), mention 'add a simple modern couch and coffee table' in your prompt. Keep it minimal - renters will bring their own furniture.

Is there a free rental photo editor for Marketplace?

Yes, EditThisPic is free to try with no signup required. Upload your room photos, describe what needs fixing, and download the results. No watermarks.

How do I make a small space look bigger in photos?

Shoot from doorways or corners to capture the full room. Use landscape orientation. Open all curtains. Then ask EditThisPic to 'brighten the room evenly, especially the corners, make it feel open and airy.' Bright, evenly lit rooms always look bigger than dark ones.

Can I facebook marketplace rental property on my phone?
