Follow a real-estate-specific workflow to classify temporary clutter, choose a usable source image, review AI reconstruction, and preserve every material property fact.
Compare permanent features and reconstructed surfaces before using an edited property photo.
OriginalCleanup previewMake a written distinction between temporary belongings and the property itself before uploading. Boxes, clothing, toys, dishes, papers, loose cables, bags, and portable storage may qualify. Damage, stains, fixtures, safety equipment, windows, floors, and permanent finishes do not.
Use an authorized JPG, PNG, or WebP image under 10 MB. A sharp, level, well-lit view with limited overlap provides more evidence for reviewing reconstructed floors, walls, counters, and furniture edges.
Treat the generated image as a preview rather than an automatic publishing result. Process one representative photo first and retain the source beside the result.
Follow the outline of every removed item and check the surface behind it, including shadows, reflections, repeating patterns, baseboards, cabinet lines, furniture edges, outlets, and room boundaries.
Do not approve an image merely because it looks cleaner at thumbnail size. Common mistakes include removing defects, overlooking invented textures, erasing fixtures, changing furniture, using a heavily blocked source, and discarding the original.
Bags, loose belongings, and portable containers may be suitable targets. Windows, flooring, walls, existing furniture, proportions, and visible wear must remain. Review furniture edges and repeated floor patterns closely.
Confirm image rights, property accuracy, internal approval, and applicable MLS, platform, brokerage, owner, or local disclosure requirements. Use the original whenever an edit would weaken condition evidence.
