Introducing 6 new car backgrounds you can get live up to 90% faster

95% of car buyers say high quality images are a key criteria when browsing online.

In a market where first impressions are everything, the quality of your vehicle imagery has never mattered more. That's why we've been working hard on our biggest update to Enhanced Stills yet.

Enhanced Stills V3 completely rebuilds the foundation of how we create vehicle images, delivering major improvements to both quality and speed. Here's what's new.

What makes V3 different?

At its core, Enhanced Stills V3 improves four things that matter most for high-quality vehicle imagery.

 ✔ Improved visual realism

V3 produces more accurate light, reflections, and shadows, matching the look of real-world studio photography.

 ✔ Dynamic angles

The environment now adjusts with the camera angle, improving depth perception and reducing the visual repetition that can make large inventory feeds feel monotonous.

 ✔ Faster image processing

V3 reduces processing time by 80 to 90%, enabling faster delivery for your team.

 ✔ Updated room design

The new room designs provide a more realistic showroom feel, with improved materials, lighting balance, and spatial depth.

So, what do these new designs look like?

V3 launches with a range of background environments, each suited to a different use case.

Room 06 

Room 06 is the cleanest and most versatile option, a neutral showroom with soft gradients and controlled lighting. It's the most tested environment and our recommended starting point for customers transitioning from V2.

Dealer Exterior 01

Dealer Exterior 01 places vehicles in front of a modern dealership facade with natural daylight, giving listings an authentic retail context that resonates with in-market buyers.

Nordic Light Studio

Nordic Light Studio draws on diffuse Nordic daylight to create balanced, natural-looking reflections. It's ideal for markets where that aesthetic feels familiar and aspirational.

Display Room

Display Room uses architectural lighting and clean surfaces to emphasise vehicle form, materials and proportion. It's a strong choice for premium and performance vehicles where design details deserve to stand out.

Photoshoot

Photoshoot replicates a professional photography studio setup with even lighting, minimal visual noise, and a backdrop that keeps the focus firmly on the car.

OEM Porsche

For Porsche dealers only, OEM Porsche offers an environment built to align with Porsche Destination interior design guidelines and reflects the brand's global visual standards.

Already on V2? Enhanced Stills V3 still has you covered

One of the most common questions we get when there’s a new product release is: do we have to start from scratch?

The answer with V3 is no. V3 includes full built-in support for existing V2 backgrounds, so your current look and feel is preserved while you benefit from V3's quality and speed improvements. You get the upgrade without the disruption.

V2 will be phased out over time though, as V3 becomes the default solution.

What's coming next

V3 is just the beginning. Here's a look at what's planned:

• New V3 Environments including additional room and exterior designs, expanding the range of creative options available.
• Improved Angle Model giving you an updated detection model with improved accuracy over V2.
• Image Type Detection to provide guidance and warnings when incorrect capture templates are used, reducing errors before they reach the image creation process.
• Photo Flow V2 which improves capture flow, so users can receive finished images within seconds for approval.
• V3 Ultra Premium which introduces a planned premium package, focused on increased visual quality, realism, and fine detail.
