Why Real estate & short-term rentals need clean cutouts
- Zillow, Compass, and brokerage sites each display headshots differently — need one transparent master.
- Yard signs and print collateral need pure cutouts with hard edges.
- Property teaser images for Meta ads perform better with the home cut from the sky.
- Airbnb hero-image thumbnails crop aggressively — cutout + reframe helps.
Recommended workflow
- 1Cutout the headshot or property
Shot against a solid BG works best. Outdoor property shots need the sky to contrast the rooflines.
- 2Save the transparent PNG master
Reuse across brokerage site, MLS, print, and social.
- 3Composite per channel
Solid brand color for social, gradient for the website hero, pure white for print.
- 4Export at each size
Zillow headshot 1200×1200, Compass 800×800, sign 24×36 in at 300 dpi.
Tips from teams shipping every day
Blue, grey, or on-location — anything without visual noise behind the shoulders.
The single biggest tell of a cheap cutout. Shoot in soft light to keep hair edges definable.
Never edit the transparent PNG — always duplicate before compositing.

FAQ
Best BG color for a real estate headshot?
Brokerage brand color if you have one; otherwise mid-grey. Pure white can feel corporate; too warm reads dated.
How do I cutout a house cleanly?
Shoot in overcast light so the sky is a flat grey. Trees and power lines are the hard parts — expect to hand-touch.
What resolution for a yard sign?
300 dpi at final size. A 24×36 in sign = 7200×10800 px. Start with the largest possible headshot.
Can I use this for Compass/Zillow bulk uploads?
Yes — process each headshot individually in the browser. No account, no bulk fee.
