A virtual staging app lets you stage a room from the phone instead of uploading to a website later. That matters when you shoot your own listings. You can check the staged result while you're still standing in the room, and if the angle doesn't work, you reshoot on the spot. Real Estate Camera runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, with a web version on the same account.
Why an app beats a website for this
- No transfer step. Shoot in the app and stage from the camera roll. No AirDrop to a laptop.
- Fix bad angles on site. Staging needs the floor and two walls in frame. You find out before you leave.
- One balance everywhere. Credits bought on the phone work on the web, and the other way round.

Questions
Is there a virtual staging app for iPhone?
Yes. Real Estate Camera is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android. It stages empty rooms in 8 styles in 20 to 60 seconds.
Do I need a computer to use it?
No. You can shoot, stage and export from the phone. If you'd rather finish at a desk, sign in on the web and the same projects are there.
How much does the app cost?
The download is free with 1 free credit. Staging is 2 credits a room. Packs start at 20 credits for $9.99, and on the phone you pay through the App Store or Google Play.
Can the app remove furniture too?
Yes. Declutter empties a furnished room for 2 credits. Stage the empty result afterwards if you want new furniture in it.
Does staging need a connection?
Yes. Staging runs on our servers, so the phone needs signal to send the photo. Once it has started you can close the app, and the result waits in the project.
