TV screen replacement for real estate photos

A glossy TV picks up the window, the lamps and sometimes you. Stager AI replaces the screen with a clean black one in every HDR edit, so the room looks calm and finished.

Why it matters

A shiny screen pulls the eye away from the room

TV screen replacement is a standard step in professional real estate photo editing. A bright reflection in a big black rectangle is the first thing buyers notice, and it makes a clean room look messy.

No more mirror on the wall

TV screens reflect windows, lights and the photographer. A black screen removes the distraction.

Consistent galleries

Every TV in the shoot gets the same clean finish, so the gallery looks like one set of photos.

Minutes back on every shoot

No masking screens one by one in Photoshop. It runs on every interior photo, with nothing to switch on.

Seen up close

Only the screen changes

Zoom in and the frame, the wall and the furniture are exactly as you shot them. Only the glass of the screen is replaced, with crisp edges and no halo.

How it works

Three steps to clean TV screens

TV screen replacement is built into Auto HDR, the Stager AI editor for real estate photographers. It runs automatically as part of your normal edit.

  1. 01

    Upload your shoot

    Drop in RAW or JPEG brackets, or let Dropbox auto-import send your shoots in for you.

  2. 02

    TV screens are found

    Every interior is checked for a TV. Each screen that's found is masked, frame excluded.

  3. 03

    Download clean photos

    Every TV comes back with a black screen, merged, color corrected and ready to deliver.

The same finish a pro editor would give it

What changes
Only the screen. Glare, reflections and anything showing on it become a clean, even black.
What stays
The TV frame, the wall, the stand and the rest of the room keep your original pixels.
Resolution
Full resolution, the same size as your original files, in JPG or PNG.
Workflow
Runs inside your Auto HDR edit, in the web app or through the API, on single photos or whole shoots.
