One seller put a scruffy garage photo of a recliner into Grok or ChatGPT and asked it to place the chair in a nice living room from the same angle, looking like a normal phone photo. He posted the staged image on Marketplace and the chair sold within a few hours for the asking price.
Here is a photo of a [ITEM] I'm selling. Isolate the [ITEM] and place it in a [STYLE, E.G. COSY, BRIGHT] living room. Keep the same angle and don't change the item itself in any way, including its colour, wear or size. Make it look like an ordinary phone photo, not a professional shoot.
Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own details before you send it.
How to try it
- Upload your real photo and ask for a staged version that leaves the item unchanged.
- Check the result carefully so it shows the item honestly, including any marks or wear.
- Post the staged image alongside at least one real photo so buyers know exactly what they’re getting.
