For dealers and marketplaces

Consistent vehicle photos without a photo booth

A car photographed on a busy forecourt sells worse than the same car on a clean backdrop. Cut the background out, drop in a uniform one, and make an entire inventory look like it was shot in the same place on the same day.

How it works

  1. 1

    Photograph on the lot

    Walk-around shots on a phone are fine — the surroundings are coming out anyway.

  2. 2

    Cut and fill

    Remove the forecourt, then fill with a consistent studio-neutral colour.

  3. 3

    Publish

    Upload a matching set to your site and to the marketplaces you syndicate to.

Why consistency outperforms photography

Buyers scroll listing grids fast. A row of vehicles shot against skips, other cars, wet tarmac and passers-by reads as chaotic even when each individual car is desirable. The same row on a single neutral field reads as a professional operation, and the eye goes to the cars instead of the clutter.

It also removes distractions you did not intend to publish: registration plates on other vehicles, staff in the background, a competitor's signage across the road, the state of the weather that afternoon.

The photo-booth version of this costs tens of thousands and a bay you cannot use for anything else. The software version costs a few clicks per vehicle.

Shooting cars so they cut out cleanly

  • Park with space around the vehicle — nothing touching or overlapping it in frame.
  • Overcast light is ideal. Direct sun creates hard reflections that read as background in the paintwork.
  • Keep the camera at roughly headlight height and shoot the same angles for every vehicle so the set matches.
  • Avoid shooting through fences or foliage in the foreground — anything in front of the car is genuinely hard to remove.
  • Wheels and grilles are the detail areas worth checking at full size, since they contain background you can see through.

Fitting it into an inventory workflow

For a small lot, per-vehicle processing is quick enough to do as cars arrive. For a larger operation, batch the day's intake through bulk mode — up to 10 images per upload, returned together — and keep the transparent masters so you can re-render onto a new backdrop if you rebrand.

Vehicles with alloys, mesh grilles and roof rails have a lot of see-through detail, so a quick full-size review before publishing is worth the thirty seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle wheels, grilles and windows?
Those are the see-through areas and they are where any automatic tool is most likely to need a look. Mesh grilles and complex alloys are worth a quick check at full size before publishing.
Can I add a showroom background?
Yes. Fill with a solid colour, pick one of the built-in scenery backdrops, or upload your own showroom photo as the background image so every vehicle in your inventory sits in the same place.
How many vehicles can I do at once?
Bulk mode takes up to 10 images per batch, and you can run as many batches as you need.
Will registration plates be removed?
No. Background removal keeps the whole vehicle including its plate. Blur or replace plates separately if your market requires it.
