Disclosure & compliance
Last updated: 19 June 2026
Virtual staging only works if everyone can trust it. This page explains, in plain language, how QuickStaging keeps staged photos honest — what we will and won't change, and how we make the staging visible so you stay on the right side of advertising and portal rules. For the binding contract, see our Terms of Service.
Furniture only — never the room
Our renders add furniture and décor and nothing else. We never alter the parts of a photo that describe the property itself:
- Walls, ceilings, and floors
- Windows, doors, and the view through them
- Built-in fixtures, kitchens, and bathrooms
- Room dimensions and proportions
A staged image must depict the same property you photographed. Adding a sofa is fair; moving a wall or hiding a damp patch is not.
Furniture-only by instruction, verified by you
The furniture-only rule is written into every generation instruction, and the output is locked to your original's aspect ratio and resolution so nothing is reframed. We keep your original next to the staged version, which is what lets you — or a buyer, or a regulator — put the two side by side and see that only furniture was added. If a render drifts, re-roll it free. To be plain about the limit: we do not currently run an automated vision check on every render, so your review before publication is the real gate, and the before/after pair is there to make that review quick.
Every download is labelled “Virtually staged”
You always receive three versions of each photo:
- Your unaltered original — the photograph you uploaded, untouched.
- A clean image — the staged room with no markings.
- A badged image — the same render with a discreet “Virtually staged” badge in the corner.
The badge is mandatory and is baked into the badged version at download. Every gallery and ZIP also ships with a one-line disclosure note you can paste straight into a listing description.
The disclosure note
This is the exact wording we provide with every gallery and inside every download:
“These images are virtually staged. The furniture and décor are AI-generated, are shown for illustration only, and are not included with the property. The room itself must not be altered — walls, windows, floors, fixtures and the view have to match the original photograph, so compare each staged image against the unaltered original supplied with it before you publish it.”
Your part when you publish
When you publish a staged image — on a portal, in an exposé, or in print — you must make clear that it has been virtually staged. Use the badged version, add the disclosure note, or both, according to each portal's format. Don't remove the badge or the disclosure where disclosure is required. This protects buyers and it protects you: undisclosed staging can be treated as misleading advertising.
Aspect ratio & resolution
We return images at the original aspect ratio, up to 2048px on the long edge at high quality, so they drop into portal upload forms without awkward cropping.
Where this applies
QuickStaging is offered to real-estate professionals (Unternehmer, § 14 BGB) for use in their own listings. Disclosure obligations vary by country, portal, and association rules; you are responsible for meeting the rules that apply where you advertise. The tools above are designed to make that straightforward. The full contractual terms are in our Terms of Service.
