How do you turn listing photos into a walkthrough video?
By Brian Jones, co-founder, engineering and Talyn Jones, co-founder, product, Frameworthy.
You upload the listing photos, order the rooms the way a buyer would walk them, and a render pipeline turns each photo into a short moving shot. The shots are stitched into one walkthrough and checked against the source photos, so nothing is added. Delivery is usually within hours.
What happens to each photo?
Each still becomes a clip that moves into the room: a push through the doorway, a slow drift across the kitchen island, a pan along the covered patio. The camera moves; the house does not. Walls, fixtures, flooring, wear and damage stay exactly as photographed.
Every clip is then compared against the photo it came from. A clip that adds a doorway, a window, a hallway or a reflection of a room that does not exist is rejected and re-rendered. When a photo cannot move honestly, it ships as a slow pan across the real still instead.
Which photos work best?
Bright, straight-on shots taken from the doorway of each room. Those give the clip somewhere to go. Photos where a mirror fills half the frame, or tight angles through a part-open door, most often come back as a still pan rather than motion.
You do not need new photos. The MLS set the photographer already delivered is the input; that is the whole point.
What do you get back?
One walkthrough with the rooms in the order you chose, delivered in 16:9 for the listing and the seller's inbox, 9:16 for Reels and Stories, and 1:1 for the feed. Your branding, if you saved one, is burned in. The tour page shows progress while it renders and says plainly that the motion was generated from your photographs.
Turn listing photos into a walkthrough video, step by step
- Upload the listing photos. Sign in and upload the photos already on the listing, up to 20 rooms. Skip the ones that are mostly mirror or shot through a door.
- Order the rooms. Drag the rooms into the order a buyer would walk them: approach, entry, living, kitchen, bedrooms, baths, outside.
- Add your branding. Optional. A saved brand adds your name, brokerage and logo to the delivered cuts.
- Pay for the listing. $99 per listing, $49 for an account's first. No subscription.
- Download the three cuts. The tour page emails you when the walkthrough is ready. Download 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1, and post the 16:9 on the listing.
Questions
Does it need a floor plan?
No. The room order you choose is the only structure it needs. It never guesses at how rooms connect and never shows a transition the photos do not support.
Can it add furniture or fix the house?
No. We tidy, we never fix. Movable clutter such as laundry or toys can be removed; walls, fixtures, flooring, layout and damage stay as photographed.
How long is a finished tour?
Most complete walkthroughs run one to two minutes for a full house. The gallery lists the room count and length of each real example.
