Getting Started with Renderly

Renderly uses generative AI to transform empty room photos into professionally staged interiors — in under a minute. Follow this guide to go from account creation to your first client-ready staged image.

Setup in 5 Steps

Step 1: Create Your Account

  1. Go to renderly.space and click Sign Up
  2. Enter your email and create a secure password
  3. Verify your email address via the confirmation link sent to your inbox
  4. Choose a plan — a free tier is available with no credit card required

Step 2: Create Your First Property

  1. From the dashboard, click the New Property button in the top right
  2. Enter the property address and any additional details (type, size, listing notes)
  3. A property acts as a container — it organizes all rooms and staged images for a single listing
  4. You can manage multiple properties simultaneously across different projects

Step 3: Add Rooms

  1. Open a property and click "Add Room" to start adding spaces
  2. Choose a room type: Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen, Bathroom, Dining Room, and more
  3. Upload high-quality photos of the empty or unfurnished room
  4. Minimum recommended resolution: 1920×1080 — higher is better
  5. Ensure good natural or artificial lighting — avoid dark, shadowy shots
  6. Shoot from corners or doorways to capture the widest possible angle

Photos should show the room as empty as possible. Furniture, clutter, or personal items in the frame reduce staging quality.

Step 4: Stage with AI

  1. Open a room and click "Generate Staging"
  2. Select a design style: Modern, Scandinavian, Industrial, Minimalist, Luxury, and more
  3. Optionally add a custom text prompt to specify particular furniture, color palettes, or decor details
  4. Click Generate — the AI will produce a fully staged image in 30 to 60 seconds
  5. You can generate multiple variations of the same room to compare styles

Step 5: Export & Share

  1. Download staged images in full high resolution directly from the room view
  2. Create video tours by combining staged rooms into a smooth walkthrough presentation
  3. Share a public link with clients — no account required on their end
  4. All exports retain the original room dimensions and aspect ratio

Tips for Best Results

  • Use well-lit, empty room photos — natural daylight produces the best results
  • Shoot from corners or doorways to capture the widest possible angle
  • Higher resolution input images produce significantly sharper staged outputs
  • Try multiple design styles on the same room to find the best fit for your listing
  • Add a short custom prompt to guide the AI toward specific furniture or color schemes
  • For consistent results across a property, shoot all rooms at the same time of day
