StageHQ
StageHQ creates digitally staged versions of room photos for real estate listings. Choose Precise Staging, Creative Staging, AI Renovation, or Remove Furniture, then select from more than 30 design styles or describe a custom one. Uploads can be JPG, PNG, or WebP files up to 4K; StageHQ says most rooms are processed in under 30 seconds. Exports include an MLS-ready JPG at 1536×1024 and a full-resolution file. Purchased images carry a commercial license for MLS, marketing, and print use. The service works in a browser on Mac, Windows PC, iPad, or phone without installation, and is listed for Android, iOS, and web. Three free watermarked previews are available without a credit card. Starter costs $19, paid once for 20 staged photos; Professional costs $39, paid once for 100 and includes batching a listing. Agency costs $69, paid once for 250 photos and bulk download. The terms say purchases are final, with no refunds, including for unused credits or dissatisfaction.
