Puw for Airbnb hosts
Puw for Airbnb hosts
On the same street as forty similar listings, the flat is not what you are competing on — the photos are. Puw re-lights your whole set at 4K in about twenty seconds each, so the listing that wins the square crop in search can be yours rather than the one two doors down.
You are not competing on the apartment. Same building, same layout, same walk to the beach, often the same furniture from the same shop. What separates the listing that fills in August from the one that does not is which one looks like somewhere you would want to wake up, decided in a grid of square thumbnails before anyone reads a word you wrote. And most hosts lose that comparison to lighting rather than to anything about the property.

Where this fits in your week
Before the season opens
One pass through the whole flat, horizontal, at chest height from the corners of each room.
Rework the cover shot first
It competes at thumbnail size. Distinctive beats tasteful when the image is 200 pixels wide.
Re-render the old set too
Download what is already on the listing and run it through, so twenty photos read as one shoot.
After any change
New sofa, repainted wall, added workspace. A guest who spots a difference leaves a review about it.
Drop one or many — they all render at the same time, each with its own mode and notes.
Mode and size below apply to every photo — set a different mode or note on any row to override it.
Real outputs
A feed, not a pitch deck.
Every photo below started as a phone snapshot. Tap one to compare before / after.
Questions people ask.
Horizontal or vertical?
Horizontal, always. Airbnb crops into squares in search and shows the listing page in landscape, so a portrait photo gets cut at both ends.
Is this allowed? Could I get reported?
Re-lighting a photograph is ordinary editing. What gets hosts reported is a photo that does not match the place — which is why Precise mode pins the geometry and adds nothing.
I manage several flats. Does that work?
Yes. Every photo renders at the same time rather than queueing, and 500 photos a month on Max works out at about eight cents each.
My photos are already fine. Is there a point?
If they were taken on a bright day by someone who knew what they were doing, probably not. If they were taken on a grey afternoon before a guest arrived, that is exactly the gap this closes.
