In the world of buying and selling vehicles, image is everything. When a potential customer visits an online ad, the first impression comes from the car's photo. If the image is unclear, poorly lit, or has a messy background, the buyer is likely to skip to the next ad. That's why improving car photos has become a necessity for dealers of all sizes.

Today, thanks to technology, you can achieve professional-quality photos without needing a photography studio or editing knowledge. In this article, we will explain how photo enhancement works with artificial intelligence (AI) and how it can help you remove the background from your car photos, save time, and sell more.

Why is it so important to have good car photos?

Good photos generate more clicks, more trust, and more sales. It's that simple. An ad with well-cared images captures attention, conveys professionalism, and helps the buyer imagine themselves driving that car.

According to industry data, ads with quality photos receive up to 60% more interactions. And it's not a coincidence. The images speak for you: if you present your stock with well-lit photos, without distractions and from the right angles, the customer perceives that you care about details.

On the other hand, if the images have backgrounds with other cars, visible license plates, trash, people in the background, or reflections, the effect is the opposite: you lose opportunities without realizing it.

The problem: taking good photos is not always easy

Many dealerships, especially smaller or medium ones, do not have a specific space to photograph cars. Photos are taken outdoors, sometimes with other vehicles around or in unfavorable lighting conditions. And even if one has a good mobile phone, the result rarely looks professional.

Additionally, editing photos to crop backgrounds, improve lighting, or add a watermark takes time and knowledge. The alternative? Hiring a photographer or designer. But that comes with a cost that not everyone can afford.

The consequence is clear: “battle” photos are published, which meet requirements but do not sell.

The solution: using AI to automatically improve car photos

This is where artificial intelligence applied to automotive photography comes into play. Today, there are tools that allow you to:

• Remove the background from car photos automatically

• Improve lighting and colors

• Add realistic shadows

• Unify the visual style of your stock

• Include your logo or watermark

All this in a matter of seconds, and without needing to know how to edit images. You just have to upload your photo, and the AI does the rest. The result: a clean, professional, attractive image ready to publish on your website or sales portals.

How does it work? A practical example

Let’s say you take a photo of a car with your mobile in your dealership’s yard. In the picture, other vehicles appear behind, a cloudy sky, and some reflections on the windows.

You upload the photo to an AI tool. In seconds, the image is processed, and you get a new version:

• The background has been removed

• The car is set on a white or neutral gray background (or the one you choose)

• The lighting has improved

• There’s a subtle shadow that adds realism

• You can automatically add your logo

It looks like a studio-made photo. And the best part is you can do it from your mobile in seconds, and at a cost far lower than a photographer or designer.

What benefits does it have for your dealership?

1. Time-saving

Forget about spending hours editing images or waiting for a designer to have time. You can process all photos of a car in minutes.

2. Faster publication = more sales

The sooner you publish a car, the sooner it starts getting visits. AI allows you to have the ad ready on the same day you take the photos.

3. More professionalism

Having a homogeneous catalog, with clean and well-presented photos, enhances your brand image. It doesn’t matter if you have 10 cars or 200: they all look equally good.

4. More clicks, more leads

Eye-catching images capture more attention on portals. This translates to more clicks, more contacts, and more sales opportunities.

5. Affordable for everyone

You don’t need large investments or contracts. Many solutions operate on a pay-as-you-go model, so you only pay for the photos you edit.

Removing backgrounds from car photos: one of the most powerful features

One of the most sought-after functionalities is automatically removing the background from car photos. This is useful because:

• You avoid distractions in the image

• The car becomes the visual center

• A white or neutral background conveys cleanliness and professionalism

• You meet the standards of many sales portals

With a single click, you can remove the background from car photos and replace it with one that reinforces your brand, or simply leave it white to give prominence to the vehicle.

Who can use this technology?

Any dealership. It doesn’t matter if you are an independent professional or manage a network of dealerships. This technology is designed to save time and scale easily.

Moreover, many of these solutions are integrated into platforms like Dealcar, so you don’t need external tools. You can do everything from a single site: take the photo, enhance it with AI and publish it.

What if I already have photos taken?

You can also use AI with photos you already have. Upload your current inventory and enhance all images in bulk:

• Apply a homogeneous style

• Remove license plates or unattractive backgrounds

• Add your logo or watermark

This is ideal if you’re renovating your catalog or preparing special campaigns.

Improving your car photos with AI is no longer something exclusive to large groups. It’s a real opportunity for any dealership that wants to sell better, with less effort.
