Real Estate Camera
A virtual staging app lets you stage a room from your phone, rather than uploading photos to a website later. This matters when you shoot your own listing photos. You can check the staged result while you're still standing in the room and, if the angle isn't right, reshoot on the spot. Real Estate Camera runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, and the web version uses the same account.
Why an app is better than a website for this
- No transfer step. Shoot in the app, then stage the photo straight from your camera roll. No need to AirDrop it to a laptop.
- Correct poor angles on site. Staging needs the floor and two walls in the frame. You can check this before you leave.
- One balance across all your devices. Credits bought on your phone also work on the web, and vice versa.

Yes. Staging runs on our servers, so your phone needs a connection to upload the photo. Once processing has started, you can close the app, and the finished result will be waiting in the project.
