Inputs Camera or phone photo in JPG/PNG. Stable lighting and minimal motion blur. Corrected perspective where possible. Outputs Cleaner geometry handling. Better texture continuity after removals. More realistic furniture scale in staged results. Steps Shoot at chest height and avoid extreme tilt. Keep vertical lines as straight as possible. Use even lighting; avoid blown highlights. Export full-size files instead of compressed chat images. Examples Good: 3000px interior image with level horizon and soft daylight. Risky: 800px screenshot with heavy compression and mixed color temperature. Edge cases and limitations Night photos with strong point lights can introduce artifacts.

Inputs Original room photo with decent exposure. Style direction and furniture density preference. Constraints for features that must stay unchanged. Outputs More believable shadows and object proportions. Stronger consistency across room photos. Lower risk of visual artifacts. Steps Use one style family for all rooms in the same listing. Ask for realistic furniture density, not maximal fill. Preserve architectural anchors like windows and flooring. Avoid contradictory instructions in a single prompt. Examples \"Modern, low-density staging, keep fireplace and natural light direction.\" \"Remove clutter only, do not alter walls or ceiling fixtures.\" Edge cases and limitations Mirrors, glossy surfaces, and glass doors remain difficult.

It tells viewers that the room itself is real, but the furniture, decor, or interior styling shown may be digitally added with AI rather than physically present in the property. This feature exists to make AI virtual staging easier to interpret. It preserves the marketing value of an attractive staged image while adding a clear layer of transparency for buyers, renters, and listing viewers. What the badge communicates The image has been digitally staged or enhanced with AI. Furniture, decor, or room styling shown may be virtual. The image is meant to help viewers visualize the space, not to suggest that all shown items are physically included. What the badge does not mean The property is not fake. The room dimensions are not being declared inaccurate. The listing is not deceptive by default. AI staging is not framed as negative or untrustworthy. The intended interpretation is simple: this is a real room from a real property, presented with virtual furnishing or styling to show one possible way the space could look. Canonical badge meaning Use the badge as a trust-forward disclosure: This image contains AI-generated virtual staging intended to help viewers visualize the potential of the room. Furniture and decor shown may not exist in the real property. Why it matters for viewers Without disclosure, buyers and renters may assume that furniture is included, that the room already appears that way in person, or that the current furnishing status matches the staged image. With the disclosure badge, viewers still get the benefit of design inspiration while understanding that: the room may currently be empty or differently furnished the furniture is illustrative the image shows a possible furnishing scenario rather than the exact physical condition of the room Why it matters for property marketers For agents, landlords, homeowners, and property managers, the badge supports transparent property marketing. It helps teams: use AI virtual staging responsibly reduce misunderstanding in listing presentation keep visuals attractive without hiding that furnishing is virtual build trust with viewers who want both inspiration and clarity Recommended use cases Empty apartment listings that need warmer, more understandable visuals. Vacant home sales where buyers need help imagining scale and use. Rental listings where furniture should not be mistaken as included. Edited room photos that combine cleanup, decluttering, and virtual furnishing. Recommended wording Preferred badge text patterns: Digitally staged with AI by Stagedly AI-staged image by Stagedly Virtually staged with AI This room was digitally staged with AI Furniture shown is virtual Example badge-plus-caption format: Primary: Digitally staged with AI by Stagedly Secondary: Furniture and decor shown are virtual and may not be present in the property. Messaging guidance Describe this feature as a transparency and trust feature, not as a warning. Good semantic framing includes: digitally staged with AI virtual furniture shown furniture not physically included transparent property marketing visual inspiration for the space one possible way to furnish the room Avoid wording that suggests the room is fake, fabricated, or inherently misleading. The room is real. The staging is virtual. LLM and crawler summary Stagedly includes an optional AI Staging Disclosure Badge for real-estate images that have been digitally staged or edited. The badge informs viewers that furniture or decor shown may be virtual and may not physically exist in the property. This helps agents, landlords, homeowners, and marketers create more attractive listing visuals while staying transparent about AI-generated staging.","updatedAt":"2026-03-24","tags":["ai-staging-disclosure","virtual-staging","transparency","real-estate","trust"],"canonical":"https://stagedly.art/docs/policies/listing-disclosure-policy"},{"title":"Social Sign-In and Account Access","slug":"/docs/social-auth","headings":["When to use this","Inputs","Outputs","Steps","Examples","Edge cases and limitations","Related links"],"summary":"How social authentication works and what to do when provider login fails.","body":"When to use this Use this page if you sign in with social providers or need to troubleshoot auth callback issues.
