HDR Photo Editing
for Real Estate.
Automated.
In Minutes.
Upload your RAW bracket sets — ARW, CR3, NEF, DNG, or any major format. Stager AI merges your exposures, corrects window pull, fixes glare, and delivers a full-resolution JPG or PNG in about 1 to 5 minutes per photo. No Lightroom. No manual blending. No outsourcing delays.
From $0.25/image at volume. REST API available for batch delivery. Process a full 20-room shoot while you drive to the next property.
One Bracket Set.
One Perfect Image.
Real estate photographers shoot multiple exposures of the same scene — typically 3 to 7 brackets ranging from underexposed (to capture window views and bright exterior) to overexposed (to capture shadow detail in dark corners). HDR photo editing merges these brackets into a single image that accurately represents the room as the human eye sees it.
Done manually in Lightroom or Photoshop, this process involves importing RAW files, aligning exposures, applying tone mapping, masking windows, and blending layers — a workflow that takes 5–15 minutes per image for an experienced editor.
Stager AI's automated HDR Merge pipeline does the same in about 1 to 5 minutes per photo: RAW bracket ingestion, auto-alignment, intelligent window masking, deghosting, and exposure blending — delivered as a full-resolution JPG or PNG, ready for MLS upload.
Drag to See the Difference.
RAW Brackets In. Perfect Image Out.
Every image processed from RAW brackets via Stager AI's automated HDR Merge pipeline. About 1 to 5 minutes per image.
From Bracket Set to Delivered Image
in Minutes.
Upload your RAW brackets
Drag your bracket set directly into Stager AI or submit via REST API. We accept ARW, CR3, NEF, DNG, RAF, RW2, ORF, SRW, PEF — all major camera formats. No conversion required.
AI pipeline processes
Auto-alignment corrects any camera shift between brackets. Intelligent window masking identifies and pulls in exterior detail. Deghosting eliminates motion artifacts. Exposure blend produces natural tonal range.
Receive your finished image
A production-ready JPG or PNG is delivered to your dashboard or webhook endpoint. Full resolution, colour-accurate, window-corrected — ready for MLS upload, client delivery or print. Your original pixels are kept and nothing is upscaled.
Add sky replacement (optional)
One click applies a replacement sky to exterior shots — from Stager AI's AI sky library. Blue sky, golden hour, or dramatic clouds. Horizon masking is automatic.
Add virtual staging (optional)
Stage empty rooms from the same dashboard. HDR-merged interiors can be staged in 15+ designer styles immediately after processing — no separate upload or platform required.
Deliver via API or download
Download individually or receive the full shoot via webhook. Stager AI's REST API takes batches of any size — enabling fully automated post-production for high-volume agencies.
HDR Editing Is the Foundation.
The Rest of the Shoot Is Covered Too.
Every Stager AI subscription includes HDR Merge plus the full suite of real estate photo production tools — in the same pipeline, at no extra charge.
Every Major Camera Brand. Every RAW Format.
Upload your bracket sets directly from your camera card — no conversion to TIFF or DNG first.
Also accepts JPEG and TIFF for non-RAW workflows. JPEGs processed with AI enhancement pipeline.
Send Whole Shoots in One Batch.
Receive Results via Webhook.
For agencies processing multiple shoots daily, Stager AI's REST API eliminates every manual step. Submit a full property shoot — brackets for HDR, rooms for staging, exteriors for sky replacement — and receive the completed outputs via webhook as soon as they're ready.
