Disclosing virtual staging

Label any Vizydesign image as virtually staged wherever it appears. Keep the original photograph. Never use a generated image to imply a feature the property does not have.

A staged image shows furniture that is not in the room. That is understood and accepted when it is labelled, and is a misrepresentation when it is not. Most real-estate regulators and MLS rules require digitally altered listing images to be identified as such, and some require the unaltered photograph to be available alongside.

Requirements differ by country, state and board. Check the rules that apply to you — this page is guidance, not a compliance guarantee.

• Every prompt template instructs the model to preserve the room’s architecture exactly — wall positions, ceiling height, window and door placement, and camera perspective. Structural elements are never added, removed or moved.
• The original photograph is kept alongside every generated image in your library, so the unaltered version is always retrievable.
• The before/after comparison in the studio shows exactly what changed, which is the fastest way to check that a render did not invent something.

• We cannot label images on your listing platform. The caption is yours to add.
• We cannot verify that a render is accurate to the property. Review every image before it is published — the model is good, and it is not a surveyor.
• We cannot advise on the rules for your jurisdiction.

Short, plain and adjacent to the image. Any of these are commonly accepted:

• “Virtually staged.”
• “This image has been digitally staged. The room is unfurnished.”
• “Digitally enhanced — furniture shown is not included.”

For a repaint, floor replacement or remodel render, say what changed: “Flooring shown is a digital visualisation of a proposed finish.”
