What is virtual staging?

Virtual staging is the digital furnishing of a photograph. You photograph an empty room, and furniture, rugs, art and lighting are added to the image instead of to the room. The listing photo looks furnished; the property stays vacant. Nothing is delivered, moved or rented, which is why virtual staging costs a fraction of physical staging and turns around in minutes rather than weeks.

Is Luw.ai virtual staging really free?

Yes. You can stage rooms on the free plan without paying and without a credit card. Free output carries a Luw.ai watermark and is licensed for non-commercial use, so it is meant for trying the tool and comparing styles. To publish staged photos on a live listing you need a paid plan, which starts at $19 per month for 200 renders, about $0.10 per staged image, with no watermark and a commercial licence.

How long does one staged image take?

About 20 seconds per image on a normal connection. A full four-photo set for one listing therefore takes roughly a minute and a half, including the time you spend choosing a style. There is no queue, no human retoucher and no next-day turnaround.

Do I have to disclose virtually staged photos on the MLS?

In practice yes, and there is no single national rule, which is exactly what makes this confusing. The NAR Code of Ethics (Article 12) requires REALTORS to present a true picture in their advertising, and most MLSs and several state real estate commissions turn that into a concrete requirement that materially altered photos be labelled. Check your own MLS rulebook for the wording it expects, then label the photo and repeat it in the listing remarks. There is a copy-paste disclosure block on this page. This is guidance, not legal advice.

Will the furniture stay consistent across different angles of the same room?

Not automatically. Each photo is staged independently, so two angles of the same living room can come back with a different sofa. The reliable workaround is to stage one hero angle first, keep the room type and style identical for the remaining angles, and regenerate any shot that drifts. Most listings publish only one or two angles per room, so this rarely bites, but do not assume a matched furniture set across a full walkthrough.

What resolution do I get, and is it enough for Zillow and the MLS?

Paid plans export up to 4K, far above what any portal requires. Zillow asks for photos at least 1024 pixels wide and displays them best at 1536 by 1152 or larger, and most MLSs cap uploads somewhere between 2 and 10 MB per image. A 4K export downscaled to your MLS limit is the safest path. Free-plan exports are smaller and watermarked.

What are the image requirements for Zillow, Redfin and the MLS?

Portals want landscape JPEGs in a 4:3 or 3:2 ratio, at least 1024 pixels on the long edge, under the file-size cap your MLS sets, commonly 2 to 10 MB. Redfin and Zillow both pull most listing photos from the MLS feed, so the MLS limits are the ones that actually bind you. Shoot and stage in landscape: portrait photos get letterboxed in gallery views and lose impact in search results.

What if I do not like the result?

Run it again. Each attempt is one render, styles are a click apart, and there is no per-revision fee or support ticket in between. Most people generate three or four versions of a room to compare styles rather than to fix a mistake. That is the structural difference from a per-photo service, where every revision is a new order and a new wait.

Can I use staged images commercially?

Yes, on an active paid plan, which covers MLS listings, portal uploads, brochures, social ads and client deliverables. Free-plan output is watermarked and limited to non-commercial use, so it cannot be published on a live listing.

Can I remove the existing furniture first?

Yes, and for occupied properties that is the right order of operations. Run the photo through Remove Furniture AI to clear the room, then stage the emptied photo. Staging on top of existing furniture without clearing it first produces cluttered, unconvincing results.

How should I photograph an empty room for the best result?

Shoot in landscape from a corner at roughly chest height, about 1.4 metres, with the camera level so vertical lines stay vertical. Get two full walls and the floor in frame, because the floor is what the AI uses to work out scale and placement. Open the blinds, switch the room lights on, and avoid going wider than about a 16 mm full-frame equivalent, which bends the walls and makes furniture placement look wrong. A clean, level, well-lit photo is worth more than any prompt.

Which room types and furniture styles are supported?

Thirty-five room types and more than fifty interior styles. The residential ones cover living room, bedroom, primary bedroom, kids room, kitchen, open kitchen, dining room, home office, study, bathroom, attic, balcony, laundry and home theatre; the rest are commercial, including hotel rooms and lobbies, restaurants, cafes, retail stores and offices. Styles run from Modern, Scandinavian, Farmhouse and Mid-Century Modern to Art Deco, Parisian, Coastal and Japanese Design, plus seasonal themes for holiday listings. Room type controls what furniture is placed, style controls how it looks.

How much does virtual staging cost compared with physical staging?

Physical staging in the US runs into four figures for a whole home once the design fee and monthly furniture rental are counted, and it takes days to schedule. Per-photo virtual staging services charge roughly $0.28 to $24 per image depending on the provider and on whether a human retoucher is involved. On Luw.ai a staged image costs nothing on the free plan and from about $0.10 on a paid plan. There is a dated comparison table on this page.

Do I need to install anything or create an account?

No install, it runs in the browser on desktop and mobile, and there are iOS and Android apps if you prefer one. You do need a free Luw.ai account to stage a room, but never a credit card: the free plan costs nothing and is not a trial. A paid plan is only needed to export without a watermark and to use the images commercially.

合规

披露虚拟布置的照片

两款主流虚拟软装工具都宣传自己“符合 MLS 规定”。但没有一款解释这条规定究竟是什么。这就是它，我们尽量说得直白。

并不存在统一的全国性规定

在美国，披露义务来自三个相互重叠的来源。NAR 职业道德准则（第 12 条）要求 REALTORS® 在广告中呈现真实情况。多数地方 MLS 在其规则手册中把这一点落实为具体的照片规定——通常是经过实质性修改的图片必须如实标注。若干州房地产委员会还会另行叠加自己的广告规定。因此实际答案是：是的，请披露——并查阅你自己所属 MLS 规则手册中的确切措辞，因为那才是会对你执行的规则。
