Rental property photo editing built for AppFolio, Buildium and Yardi portfolios

Property managers run 40-80 unit turnovers a month across multifamily buildings, SFR rentals, HOA turnovers, and Airbnb/STR portfolio rotations — and the maintenance-tech phone shot under a yellow bulb is killing your Zillow Rentals click-through. Plotpane batch-enhances apartment photography, short term rental photography and rental listing gallery uploads at portfolio scale so every AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe or DoorLoop listing ships in 48 hours with a locked preset per building — same exposure, same color, same angle from unit #101 to unit #412.

Rental property photography built for 48-hour turnover

A 400-unit multifamily operator runs ~50 vacancies a month. At $75 per unit, that is $3,750 monthly to PlanOmatic, HomeJab, Rentvision or a local apartment photography contractor — and they cannot hit a 48h turnover SLA when your maintenance team finishes cleaning on a Friday afternoon. Plotpane replaces the photographer fee for the repeat turnover cycle: your leasing office or on-site maintenance tech uploads the post-turn phone gallery, Plotpane batch-enhances color cast, exposure, clutter and perspective, and returns 4K marketing-grade JPGs the same day. Keep the human photographer for the initial lease-up shoot; use Plotpane for every re-list after.

02

Apartment photography presets locked per building

A multifamily building with 120 units of the same floor plan needs one thing the photographer-service model cannot deliver: identical output across every vacancy, forever. Plotpane lets you lock a preset per property so unit #101, #102, and #103 share the same white balance, ceiling exposure and lens profile — even when three different maintenance techs shoot them on three different phones. NARPM members running mixed SFR + multifamily portfolios get per-building preset lock plus a separate lock per SFR address, so the Zillow Rentals gallery stays visually consistent across a 400-home SFR portfolio.

03

Short term rental photography that ships Airbnb-ready

Airbnb's published minimum is 1024x683 px; Plotpane exports 4K so you clear it by 4x. Hosts rotating STR portfolios — Evolve, Vacasa, or independent — need photos refreshed every season, after every deep clean, and after every soft-goods swap. Short term rental photography at scale is an editing problem, not a photographer problem: you already own the property, you already shot it, you just need seasonal re-edits (summer bright vs winter warm) without re-hiring. Plotpane handles Airbnb listing photos, VRBO galleries and Booking.com hero shots from one export — 5+ photos per listing, landscape orientation, all Airbnb photo requirements cleared automatically.

  • Airbnb minimum 1024x683 — Plotpane exports 4K (3840x2560), 4x over spec
  • Zillow Rentals (1280x960, <2MB) — direct preset
  • Apartments.com (1024x768, optimized) — direct preset
  • AppFolio + Buildium + Yardi Breeze + RentCafe + DoorLoop + Propertyware + Rent Manager listing feed
  • Facebook Marketplace Rentals 1200x628 hero + Craigslist 600px inline

Fair Housing, Section 8 and NARPM-aligned by design

HUD's Fair Housing Act (FHA) advertising rules regulate listing copy — not photo enhancement. Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program compliance lives in your tenant screening flow, not your gallery. State-specific tenant screening rules (California AB 2785, New York FHA preemption, Texas Property Code 92) govern what you ask applicants, not how you light a kitchen. Plotpane never alters accessibility features, unit dimensions, structural elements, or fixed appliances — only lighting, clutter, color cast and perspective. NARPM members and Section 8 landlords keep a clean compliance surface because the XMP disclosure metadata Plotpane embeds in every export declares 'AI-enhanced lighting and color' on the file itself — auditable, portable, survives screenshotting.

05

Batch workflow for turnover photography at portfolio scale

Upload the full turnover gallery for unit #101, #102, #103 in one drag. Plotpane applies the building preset to all frames, fixes yellow bulb color cast from the maintenance-tech iPhone, declutters post-move-out debris, greens up the courtyard hero, and delivers the full batch in under an hour. Export directly into your AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi Breeze, Rent Manager, RentCafe, Propertyware or DoorLoop listing feed — no Photoshop license, no per-unit photographer invoice, no coordination with a third-party studio. Rental property photography stops being a calendar problem and becomes a upload-and-done problem.

Local questions, answered

Does this work for AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi Breeze, Rent Manager and RentCafe?+

Yes. Plotpane exports at the native dimensions each listing feed ingests (AppFolio + RentCafe accept 1920x1440, Buildium accepts 1600x1200, Yardi Breeze accepts up to 2048px long edge). Drop the enhanced JPG into the unit's Property Photos tab and the syndication to Zillow Rentals, Apartments.com, Rent.com, Trulia Rent and Facebook Marketplace Rentals carries the updated gallery automatically.

Are Airbnb photo requirements handled automatically?+

Yes. Airbnb's published minimum is 1024x683 pixels with a landscape orientation preference and 5+ photos recommended across multiple rooms. Plotpane exports at 4K (3840x2560), well over spec, with landscape crops locked. The same export works for VRBO, Booking.com, and your Evolve or Vacasa distribution partner without re-sizing.

Is this compliant with HUD Fair Housing and Section 8 advertising rules?+

Yes. HUD's Fair Housing Act advertising rules apply to listing copy — protected-class language, 'adults only' phrasing, 'no children' — not to photo processing. Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher compliance lives in your screening workflow, not the gallery. Plotpane never alters accessibility features or unit dimensions, and every export ships with XMP disclosure metadata declaring AI-enhanced lighting so your file is auditable end-to-end.

How fast is a full 40-unit turnover batch?+

Upload the 40-unit turnover gallery — typically 400-600 frames at 8-15 photos per unit — and Plotpane returns the full enhanced set in under an hour on the Agency plan. That is the 48-hour turnover SLA your leasing team needs when a vacancy closes Friday and the re-list needs to be live Monday morning on Zillow Rentals and Apartments.com.

Can we lock a preset per building so unit #101 and unit #412 look the same?+

Yes — preset lock per property is the core feature for NARPM-member PMs running repeat turnovers on the same buildings. The locked preset holds white balance, ceiling exposure, lens profile and saturation across every unit in that building forever, so the gallery stays visually consistent even when three maintenance techs shoot on three phones over three years.

What about SFR rental portfolios with 400 separate addresses?+

Each SFR address gets its own preset lock. Upload the turnover gallery for 1234 Oak St, apply the 1234 Oak St preset, export. Next turnover on the same address 18 months later pulls the same preset — gallery consistency across tenancy cycles, which is what matters for rent-growth comparables on Zillow Rentals and Rent.com.

Pricing FAQ

Billing, quotas, and refunds.

  • Yes — one click in the Stripe billing portal from your dashboard. Billing stops immediately and any remaining credits stay usable through the end of the billing period.

  • Starter and Pro renders refresh at the start of each billing cycle and do not roll over. Agency renders roll over up to 3× your monthly cap, so a slow month isn't wasted.

  • We never auto-charge for overages. Once you hit your cap, new renders pause until your next cycle. If you need more room immediately, upgrade your plan from the billing page and your new quota applies instantly with proration.

  • No free trial. Instead, every plan carries a 14-day no-questions refund — if your first render isn't MLS-ready, we refund it. We chose a hard paywall over a throttled free tier so every plan gets full 4K output and every tool from day one.

  • Yes — annual billing is roughly 20% off the monthly rate (Starter $39 vs $49, Pro $79 vs $99, Agency $199 vs $249, all per month). The toggle above swaps the two.

Enterprise

MLSs, franchises, portals, and photography networks.

Custom volume packages, SSO, SOC 2 readiness, private-cloud deployment, and dedicated CSMs. We partner with networks processing 50,000+ listings per month.

Questions

The usual questions,
answered directly.

  • No. Midjourney and DALL-E invent scenes from text prompts — beautiful for art, disqualifying for a listing. Plotpane is a structure-preserving pipeline: your room geometry, windows, and floor plan stay exact. We stage, re-light, swap skies, declutter, and 4K-enhance your actual photo. No hallucinated architecture, no invented rooms.

  • BoxBrownie and Styldod are human-edit services: you upload, a retoucher works overnight, you get a result in 24–48 hours at $2–$32 per image per treatment. Plotpane runs the full listing pipeline — staging, dusk, sky, clutter, enhancement — in one upload, in ~90 seconds, for a flat monthly subscription. Same 4K quality, no queue, no per-image fees.

  • Yes, when disclosed. NAR guidelines, California AB 723, and REBNY Rule 3.3 all allow virtually staged photos provided the listing discloses them. Every Plotpane export embeds invisible XMP disclosure metadata so the staging record travels with the file. You still handle the listing-remarks disclosure in your MLS portal — that's the part only you can do.

  • Not on staging or enhancement — our Fidelity Contract enforces structure-preserving masks that lock architecture, windows, and floor plan before any generation runs. Furniture is added to empty rooms; clutter is removed from furnished rooms; lighting and sky are re-graded. Renovation features (new flooring, wall colors) require you to explicitly mark the surface. We never reinvent what's already there.

  • Yes — one click in the Stripe billing portal from your dashboard. Billing stops immediately, remaining credits stay usable through the end of the billing period, and there's no cancellation fee.

  • Yes — any AI-generated or AI-modified image is considered an edit requiring disclosure under NAR's standards. That's why every Plotpane export writes invisible XMP disclosure metadata by default. The flag is machine-readable by MLS tooling and survives Lightroom round-trips. You still add the disclosure line to your listing remarks; we make sure the image itself is self-describing.

  • We don't train on your uploads — ever, with no opt-out toggle needed. Storage is per-account R2 (Cloudflare's object store), isolated from other tenants. When you cancel, your account's files are deleted on schedule. Transit is TLS 1.3, at-rest is AES-256. Full details in /legal/privacy.

  • Yes. Upload HEIC straight from your phone or desktop — we validate by magic bytes (not just file extension) and convert server-side. PNG, JPG, WebP, and HEIC are all first-class inputs. Output is 4K JPG by default, or request PNG if you need lossless.

  • Upgrade is instant and prorated: Stripe credits the unused portion of your current plan against the new one, and your new render quota applies immediately. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle so you keep your current quota until then. No credits are lost in either direction.

  • Yes. All plans include a commercial-use license for the agent, brokerage, or photography business on the account. Agency plan adds 5 team seats and a white-label delivery ZIP so you can hand enhanced photos to clients under your own studio brand. Full licensing terms in /legal/terms.
