Try AI Virtual Staging Free: 2 Credits, No Credit Card Required

Why try AI virtual staging?

You already know what good photos do to a campaign. Staged properties sell 73% faster and for up to 25% more than unstaged ones, according to the National Association of Realtors. The catch has always been the bill. Traditional virtual staging costs $24-79 per image and takes 24-48 hours.

AI does the same job in under 60 seconds for a fraction of the cost. The quality argument is largely over too: most buyers cannot pick an AI-staged room from a manually staged one.

You should not take that on faith. Run it on your own listing photos, which is why Pixestate gives every new account 2 free credits, no credit card required.

What 2 credits gets you

One credit, one photo. Pixestate's AI reads the image, works out what is wrong with it and applies the corrections. Two credits buys any combination of these:

• Virtual staging turns an empty room into a furnished, styled one. The AI adds furniture, artwork, rugs and lighting appropriate to the room: sofas and coffee tables in living rooms, beds and nightstands in bedrooms, tables and chairs in dining rooms.
• Photo enhancement fixes dark interiors, blown windows, colour casts and underexposure in one pass. It recovers the view through an overexposed window and balances the interior light so the room reads bright and open, which is what buyers expect.
• Sky replacement swaps flat grey for clear blue with a few clouds. Exterior shots with blue skies consistently outperform the grey-sky version on listing engagement.
• Decluttering strips out personal items and mess while leaving the room's structure and architecture alone.

If a photo needs several fixes, a dark interior and blown windows say, the AI does all of them on a single credit. You pay per photo, not per fix.

How it works

1. Create your free account. Thirty seconds with email or Google sign-in, no credit card. The 2 credits are in your dashboard immediately.
2. Upload your photos. Drag and drop JPG, PNG or WebP. DSLR files up to 20 MB are fine. The AI analyses each photo and works out what needs fixing.
3. Download the results. Processed photos are ready in 30-90 seconds, individually or as a batch, all upscaled to 4K resolution.

Pixestate vs BoxBrownie

BoxBrownie is the best known real estate photo editing service in Australia, and the work is genuinely good. It is also done by human editors, which is where the price and the wait come from.

BoxBrownie is the better call when an edit needs specific creative judgement from a person. Pixestate is the better call when you need consistent results across a whole shoot, which is what most listing photography actually is. Decide it the boring way: try both for free and compare them on your own photos.

Built for Australian real estate photographers

Pixestate is built by Secblok Pty Ltd in Australia, for the Australian and New Zealand real estate market. The AI knows what a Queenslander is, and what Hamptons-style interiors, modern apartment living and coastal properties are meant to look like.

Virtual staging is legal in Australia for real estate marketing. Disclose it in the listing description, which is standard practice across realestate.com.au and Domain. Pixestate outputs are MLS-compliant JPEG files, ready to upload as they are.

It behaves the same whether you shoot in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or a regional market.
