How to Edit House Photos (A Homeowner's Guide)
Editing is the last step, and it is easier than it sounds. A few small changes make a phone photo of your house look brighter, straighter, and cleaner. You do not need editing software or any experience.
What editing does for a house photo
- Brightens dark rooms so they look as light as they felt when you stood in them.
- Balances a bright window against a darker interior.
- Straightens walls and door frames that lean.
- Cleans up color so whites look white and wood looks natural.
Have FSBO Studio polish them
Upload your photos to FSBO Studio and get them back brightened and polished. One Studio Credit polishes and brightens one photo. Polished photos are usually back the same day, you can download them for free, and we keep them for 30 days. You buy Studio Credits in packs, and the more you buy, the less each Studio Credit costs.
Keep your edits honest
Edit to make a photo look its best, not to mislead a buyer. Changes that alter what is in the photo may need to be labeled on your listing, and rules vary by site. Check the rules where you list.
