Listing Photo Tools — Categories, Photo Tour & AI Improve
Categorise photos so guests can browse room by room, build a photo tour, and use AI Improve. What each photo tool does.
Last updated October 12, 2026
1. Categorize your photos
Every photo can be tagged with one space category so guests can browse the listing room-by-room.
Categories
Indoor: Living room · Bedroom · Bathroom · Kitchen · Dining · Other indoor
Outdoor: Exterior / Front · Pool / Spa · Patio / Balcony · Yard / Garden · View
Other: Amenities · Floor plan · Other
Two ways to categorize
1. Manually — click Edit under a photo (in Photo tour view you can click the photo itself), then pick a category chip under Photo Details → Category. It saves as soon as you click it. Only one category per photo; click the selected chip again to clear it. (Free.)
2. With AI — see [Auto-categorize](#3-auto-categorize-with-ai) below.
Improve a photo with AI
Enhance a single photo with OpenAI's image model. Open a photo → Improve with AI → pick a mode → Generate → review the before/after → Approve & replace or Discard.
Modes
Auto-enhance: Exposure, white balance, sharpness, denoise, straighten — no content changes.
Brighten: Lifts dark / underexposed interiors.
Twilight exterior: Warm dusk sky + softly lit windows on an exterior.
Declutter: Removes minor clutter / stray items.
The AI result is generated for review first — approving replaces the original photo (same position, tags, and category). Discarding changes nothing.
The improved image is saved as a compressed, web-optimized JPEG.
Credits apply — you're charged when you generate.
Auto-categorize with AI
Let AI tag your uncategorized photos in one go.
Click Auto-categorize (next to the Grid / Photo tour toggle).
A popup shows how many photos will be categorized, the credit cost, and your available credits. Confirm to run.
Progress shows live (e.g. "Categorizing… 3/8"). If you run out of credits mid-run, it stops and offers Buy credits (whatever was done so far is kept).
You can also categorize a single photo: click Edit under it, then ✨ Suggest next to Category.
Captions — suggest & improve
Let AI write or refine your photo captions.
Per photo — open a photo → in Photo Details → Caption,
click ✨ Suggest (no caption yet) or ✨ Improve (a caption already exists — the AI refines it).
It fills the field and saves.
Bulk — two toolbar buttons: -
Suggest captions — writes captions for all photos without one. -
Improve captions — refines the captions of all photos that already have one. Both open a confirmation popup (count, cost, your balance, and an Auto-approve toggle): -
Auto-approve off → generates all, then opens a review popup where you can edit each caption before saving (Save individually or Save all). -
Auto-approve on → saves directly, no review.
