One Look Across Your Whole Inventory
Every vehicle gets the same background, frame, and branding, whether the photos came from a lot porter, a photographer, or the LotPix app.
Vehicle Image Studio
Inventory Photo Tools for Car Dealerships
Clean backgrounds, branded overlays, captions, VDP inserts, and SRP banners for every vehicle you list.
Vehicle Merchandising
What Vehicle Image Studio Does for Your Listings
Shoppers pick which vehicles to open from the photos on your website and marketplace listings. Vehicle Image Studio gives every inventory photo a consistent, branded look with clean backgrounds, your dealership's logo and contact details, captions, marketing overlays, VDP carousel inserts, SRP banners, and AI vehicle descriptions.
The tools run inside IIManager, AutoRevolution's inventory management and CRM platform. Finished images go out with your inventory photos to your website, inventory exports, and marketplaces.
Vehicle Merchandising Benefits
Your Dealership's Name on Every Photo
Photo overlays put your logo, phone number, website, and address on each image. When a shopper saves or shares a listing photo, your contact details go with it.
Selling Points Shoppers See First
Captions and marketing overlays call out features like a backup camera, heated seats, or one-owner history directly on the photo, before a shopper reads the description.
Less Time Editing Photos
Backgrounds and photo overlays are set up once for your inventory. The Captionator can update every photo of a vehicle at once, so your team skips the one-image-at-a-time editing.
Clean, Consistent Inventory
Vehicle Background Replacement
Background replacement removes the lot behind each vehicle, including parked cars, power lines, buildings, and gray skies. In its place goes a premade showroom-style scene or a custom background made for your dealership.
Every vehicle in your inventory ends up photographed in the same setting, even when the photos were taken on different days in different spots on the lot.
Move the slider to compare the original lot and finished background.
Vehicle Photo Overlays
Put Your Dealership's Brand on Every Photo
A vehicle photo overlay is a branded frame around each inventory photo. It carries your logo, colors, phone number, website, and address. Start from a premade overlay with your details added, or have a custom overlay designed for your dealership for an additional fee.
Marketing overlays go on top of the frame: status banners like Just Arrived, info badges like One Owner, promotions, and feature callouts. Captions add a line of your own text, with or without a color block behind it. Premade marketing overlays and captions are both included in the Captionator.
Vehicle Detail Pages
VDP Carousel Inserts
VDP carousel inserts are branded images that appear in the photo carousel on your vehicle details pages, alongside the vehicle's own photos. They're added through your photo export feed, so they show up on your website and in the feeds that receive your photos.
Dealers use inserts for service offers, vehicle history reports, home delivery, trade-in offers, and seasonal promotions. Each Vehicle Image Studio setup includes one photo insert.
SRP Banner Ads
Reach Shoppers on Your Search Results Page
Your inventory search results page (SRP) is where shoppers browse and compare vehicles before they open a single listing. SRP banner ads place your promotions in those results, so shoppers see them while they scroll.
Use banners to ask for trade-ins, point shoppers to new arrivals, promote a sale or your pricing policy, or share a community cause your dealership supports. Ads that state payment or financing terms need the disclosures required by federal and state advertising rules.
ListingBuilder
VIN Decoding and AI Vehicle Descriptions
The ListingBuilder addon decodes a vehicle's VIN to fill in its details, then writes the listing description from those details and your dealership's name, location, phone number, and website. Decode a VIN in IIManager or right from the LotPix app.
Generate descriptions one vehicle at a time or automatically, edit them anytime, and let them refresh every two weeks so longer-listed vehicles don't keep the same wording.
