Show HN: BrightShot – AI photo enhancement and virtual staging for real estate

https://bright-shot.com
2•pguiraoc•6mo ago
Hi HN, I'm Pau and I just launched Brightshot (https://bright-shot.com/) — a tool that uses AI to enhance and virtually stage real estate photos.

The idea started when I was looking to buy my own apartment in my hometown. I was constantly frustrated by poor-quality listing photos — dark rooms, cluttered spaces, and angles that didn’t show much. I couldn’t tell whether the place had natural light, or even what it really looked like. The only way to know was to visit in person, which I didn’t always have time for.

That’s when I thought: what if there was a way to improve those photos automatically? Not just by making them look a bit nicer, but by actually revealing the potential of the space — clearer lighting, better framing, less visual noise, and even virtual staging. That’s what Brightshot does.

You can upload any photo — a living room, kitchen, exterior, whatever — and Brightshot will improve it automatically. It enhances lighting and clarity, removes visual clutter, and can even virtually furnish an empty space. You can also generate different lighting versions of the same room (like how it looks in the morning vs. evening), or create a short video walkthrough based on a single image.

I built it using a set of AI models tailored to real estate photography. Right now I’m working on batch editing for agencies, more customizable staging styles, and integrations for property platforms.

Would love to hear your thoughts — especially if you’ve ever rented, sold, or photographed a place. Does this solve a real pain? What’s missing? Would you trust AI-enhanced images for your own listing?

Thanks for reading! — Pau

Honest question... how do you look at the outputs posted in the before/after section and think... "this is fine"?

Cabinets doors change in the kitchen, walls changes in the living room, floors change, bed is cut in half.

So you spend all this time researching for a place to buy just to get there and find out the place was actually all AI? I am not going to be living in a virtual space. If you want to sell this as room planning/ideas software, fine, but faking spaces for sale?

Hi, thanks for the honest feedback. Yes, we definetly need to continue adjusting the model, it's not perfect.

It's not about creating a "virtual place" its supposed to be a tool to help real state agencies promote their listings.

The normal flow for an agency/person to add a listings is to:

- Clean the property - Remove furniture - Pay a photographer to take the pictures - Then list the proerty

That takes time and a lot of money. BrightShot is meant to be used as a tool to do that in much faster way. Instead of paying a photographer to take great pictures during the day, stage the shot etc. We can do that in just a few clicks.

It definetly needs refinment, but the few clients we have, actually use the tool on a weekly basis, not to "fake" the listing but to enhance it with more clean photos.

We are working on a much improved image generation process/model, will be launching next week. If you want to try, completly free of charge you are definatly invited to do that! Just in touch! Thanks for the feedback

Interesting idea, but I don't see much use case for it. Is it gonna be an another AI-powered photo editing feature, just like Photoshop or Canva, but more tailored for real estate? I understand that you want to make these eal estate photos look more attractive? But what's that point if the real places don't match the ads?
vijivishali•6mo ago
I agree. I've used headshot software, so much of what exists today, and they look very inauthentic. As it is real estate photos are staged.
