Every lot, photographed in situ
A catalogue of white-background lot shots all reads the same. An in situ image lets a bidder feel the work on their own wall, at its true scale, in a credible interior, and it takes about a minute per lot, not a photography day.

How it works
Three steps, about a minute
- STEP 01
Upload, or import the lot
Drop the catalogued photograph, or paste the lot page URL and the image and catalogued dimensions are pulled in for you.
- STEP 02
Place it in a credible interior
Choose a room to suit the estimate and the work, or generate one from a description. The lot image itself is never altered.
- STEP 03
Download for the catalogue
A clean 2048px JPG for the lot page, the email campaign or the printed catalogue’s digital twin.
Why it works
Built for the art trade, not templates
Speed at catalogue volume
About a minute per lot, in the browser. Enhancing an entire sale is an afternoon, not a shoot schedule.
Scale bidders can trust
Works hang at their catalogued dimensions at a realistic height, important when condition reports are read remotely and bids are placed unseen.
The lot is untouched
Only the setting is created. The photograph of the work is composited in exactly as supplied.
Rooms to match the estimate
A country-house drawing room for one sale, a minimalist penthouse for another. Settings can be chosen or generated per lot.
Questions
Frequently asked
- Is the lot photograph altered?
- No. The supplied photograph is placed into the scene unchanged. AI creates the room around it, nothing about the work’s appearance is modified.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Open the tool in your browser, upload one artwork and preview it in 60+ featured rooms with no account at all. A free account unlocks the full library of 600+ rooms and 10 AI credits. Paid plans exist for higher volume, but nothing on this page needs one.
- Will my artwork appear at the correct size?
- Yes. You enter the physical dimensions of your piece and it hangs at exactly that size in the room, at a realistic height. A 30cm study and a two-metre canvas read completely differently on a wall, and the preview respects that.
- Can this handle a full sale of several hundred lots?
- The workflow is about a minute per lot in the browser, and there is an API that returns finished images for higher volumes. For catalogue-scale programmes, enterprise plans include dedicated support, start free and test it on a handful of lots first.
- Are the downloads watermarked?
- No. Downloads are 2048px JPGs with no watermark, on every tier, including guests without an account.
