Powering photo pipelines for three of the top 10 U.S. dealer groups by volume.

How it works on your lot

Three dealer-floor actions. No retraining your porters.

The pipeline is built around the people who already move metal on your lots — lot porters, detail techs, and the photographer on call. Your existing workflow stays intact; the AI replaces the studio.

  1. Snap

    A lot porter uses the PicsAuto mobile app to snap all 12 angles plus an interior walkaround — VIN plate, badges, and trim level are read automatically with 99.4% OCR accuracy.

    • Phone camera
    • No special lighting
    • ~90 seconds per unit

  2. Upload

    Frames push to the PicsAuto Studio in the background. The VIN-aware engine auto-applies the correct background, chrome delete, and trim-specific composition for your brand.

    • Background replacement
    • Shadow correction
    • 11.6s turnaround

  3. Publish

    4K hero shots, 12-angle walkarounds, and 360° interior spins land directly in DealerSocket, DealerCenter, vAuto, or your DMS — no CSV exports, no manual re-uploads.

    • 14 DMS integrations
    • 4K hero + 360° spin
    • VDP-ready in minutes

Average 38% lift in VDP lead conversion for dealers switching from phone-camera photography within 90 days.

Capabilities

Studio-grade output at smartphone cost — six capabilities your marketing manager can defend in vendor selection.

PicsAuto is one upload away from a fully merchandised unit. Every capability below runs on the same VIN-aware pipeline, so a single smartphone snap becomes a launch-ready photo set without leaving the lot.

01

VIN-aware background replacement

Our VIN OCR engine reads plates, badges, and trim levels with 99.4% accuracy, then auto-applies the correct studio backdrop, chrome delete, and brand-correct color space — no manual tagging.

  • Accuracy99.4%
  • LookupVIN → trim
02

4K hero shots in a single upload

One phone snap renders a 4K hero image plus a 12-angle walkaround, with consistent lighting, horizon, and shadow correction across every angle — ready for your VDP and OEM co-op.

  • Angles12
03

360° interior & exterior spins

Generate publication-quality 360° spins for both cabin and exterior from a standard phone capture. Frames are stitched, de-warped, and color-matched to the hero set automatically.

  • Format360° spin
  • ScopeInterior + exterior
04

Shadow correction & reflection control

Sub-pixel shadow grounding, ring-light reflection removal, and floor-plate compositing — the small touches that separate a phone-camera listing from a studio-grade unit page.

  • Passes3-layer composite
  • Manual edit0% required
05

DMS-native publishing

Finished sets push directly into DealerSocket, DealerCenter, vAuto, and 14 other major DMS platforms — no CSV exports, no media-team re-keying. New inventory is live on the VDP within minutes of capture.

06

Background library tuned for dealers

Choose from 140+ lot, showroom, and lifestyle backgrounds curated by automotive merchandising directors — or upload your own OEM-compliant backdrop for brand-co-op compliance.
