Real estate photography · five-exposure HDR

Pro real estate photos,
no photographer needed.

A living room, a picture window, a gray sky behind it. Expose for the room and the window goes white. res exposes for both.

Five exposures.
One second.

From −3 to +3 EV, merged on the device. Every pixel of the result comes from your exposures — nothing is made up.

A real shot, five exposures on a camera. The sky, the shaded facade and the flowers in full sun all fit in the same image.

The viewfinder works with you.

Two-axis level

Horizon held within 0.7°, plumb within 1.5°. Verticals stay straight.

Scene analysis

The viewfinder meters the light ten times per second and flags high-dynamic-range scenes.

“Hold still”

Progress ring, haptic feedback with each exposure, a warning if your hand turns too fast.

On-device merging

Six pyramid levels, computed by the GPU. No halos, no garish look.

Ultra wide 0.5×

The bathroom and the storage closet fit in the frame. RAW when the lens allows it, automatic fallback otherwise.

Put your phone away

Start editing the property and lock your iPhone: the work continues in the background, and a notification lets you know when everything is ready.

The Mac develops your camera’s shots.

Dump your card. res does the sorting.

Multi-brand RAW

Eight format families: Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax, DNG.

Brackets detected

Reads the EXIF data and groups exposures taken less than three seconds apart.

Best JPEG exposure

When merging would degrade the image, res picks the best exposure instead of forcing it.

Frequently asked questions.

Which app should I use for real estate photos on iPhone?
Real Estate Studio (res), designed for real estate, on iPhone and Mac. On iPhone, it takes an HDR photo: several shots at different exposures, merged on the device, with a two-axis level to keep verticals straight. The same app edits the photos, draws the 2D floor plan and lays out the brochure. It is free to download on the App Store, with in-app purchases, and you get ten free credits when you sign up.
Do I need a tripod?
No. The exposures are shot handheld, in a burst, then aligned with each other before merging. During capture, a progress ring and haptic feedback accompany each exposure, and the app warns you if your hand turns too fast.
Which iPhones?
Any iPhone running iOS 17 or later: iPhone XR, iPhone XS and XS Max, and every model released since, including iPhone SE (2nd generation). Only the 2D floor plan requires a LiDAR scanner, found on Pro models since iPhone 12 Pro: see the 2D floor plan page. On Mac: macOS 13 or later, with Apple silicon (M1 or later).
