How CarShots works

Shoot a car on your phone, pick a backdrop, and get studio-quality photos back in about 20 seconds each, plus a 360° walkaround video.

Updated October 31, 2026

CarShots turns phone photos of your cars into studio-quality listing photos. There's no booth, lighting kit or photographer: you shoot on any phone, in the browser or the iOS app, and CarShots puts the car on a clean backdrop.

The four steps

  1. Add a car. On Your cars, tap New car. You can add the VIN or stock number now or later.
  2. Shoot it. Tap Shoot this car and walk around it. On-screen outlines show where to stand for each angle, plus the interior. It takes about two minutes. You can also upload photos you already took.
  3. Pick a backdrop. Choose one of 20 studio, showroom, outdoor and scenic backdrops. Using the same one on every car makes your listings match.
  4. Make the photos. Pick the photos you want and tap Make. Each one comes back in about 20 seconds and uses one credit.

Then use them

Download one photo or the whole car as a zip, send them to your website with the inventory feed, make a 15-second 360° walkaround video, or share the car's Car Page with a shopper.
