Real Estate Camera
To remove furniture from a property photo, you can use a mask in Photoshop, send the photo to an editing service for about $8 per photo, or let an app do it in under a minute. Real Estate Camera's Declutter is the third option. You select the photo, and it removes the furniture and clutter before rebuilding what was behind them. It's designed for property listing photos, so the room itself stays intact.
When estate agents use it
- The seller is still living there and the rooms look lived-in.
- The furniture is dated or too big and makes the room look small.
- You want to give a furnished room a new style: use Declutter first, then apply Virtual staging.
- A rental turnover, with the tenant's belongings still in the photos.
What it keeps and what it doesn't
It preserves the fireplace, windows, doors, built-in cabinets and flooring. It will not move a wall, repair a visible stain or change the view. If the photo shows damage, the result shows the same damage.
How it works
- Shoot the room from a corner at chest height with the floor visible, or upload a photo you already have.
- Tap Declutter. 2 credits.
- Download the empty room, or apply Virtual staging straight away in one of 8 styles.
What it costs
Your first credit is free, no card. After that you buy credits in packs or on a monthly plan. Credits never expire, and a failed edit gives its credits back.

Questions
Can AI remove furniture from a photo?
Yes. Declutter removes furniture and loose items from a room photo and rebuilds the floor and walls behind them. It works best with a photo taken from a corner with the floor in view.
What does it leave in the room?
It leaves the fireplace, windows, doors, built-in cabinets, worktops and often a fixed TV unit in place. It won't move walls or hide damage.
How much does it cost to remove furniture from a photo?
2 credits a photo, which is $0.67 to $1.00 depending on the pack. Human editors charge around $8 per photo for standard item removal, according to BoxBrownie's September 2026 pricing.
Can I stage the room after emptying it?
Yes. Use Declutter, then apply Virtual staging to the empty result. That costs 2 plus 2 credits. This is how you restyle a room that the seller has furnished badly.
Do I need to disclose that furniture was removed?
Many MLSs treat removal like staging and ask for it to be disclosed. Keep the original, which the app stores alongside the edited image, and follow your MLS rules.
