Tinty is an AI virtual staging web app for US real estate photos that returns three furnished previews of an empty room in about 30 seconds. It offers 9 room types and 6 styles, renders finished photos as 2K files and runs on Google's Gemini API and fal.ai. Previews are free, and paid renders carry no watermark.
About Tinty
Tinty puts AI-generated furniture into the empty rooms of listing photos. You upload a photo of a vacant room, choose the room type, style and accent color, and compare free watermarked previews before paying; you spend money only to render the previews you keep as finished photos. According to its Terms of Service, the site is run by an individual operator in Kyiv, Ukraine, and orders go through Paddle, which acts as merchant of record, so tax is added at checkout. It sits in the AI virtual staging category with Virtual Staging AI, Collov AI and ReimagineHome.
Behind the interface, each upload goes to the Gemini API from Google to read the room, fal.ai generates the previews, and Gemini renders the finished photo from your original, the preview you chose and any notes you add. Its privacy policy says photos and generated images are not used to train AI models. It also discloses that Google keeps Gemini API inputs and outputs for up to 55 days for abuse monitoring, and that fal.ai keeps request records for about a month, which is more detail than most staging tools publish.
The fit is clearest for listing agents, real estate photographers and sellers of a vacant home who need a handful of staged photos per listing rather than a full design service. Paid renders carry no watermark, and the app can add a "Virtually staged" label, which matters because the Terms point out that many MLSs and some states, California among them, require staged photos to be disclosed. Photos staged without an account are deleted after 72 hours.
Against Virtual Staging AI, which Zillow Group owns, Tinty has a free plan and a cheaper entry point. Against ReimagineHome it is narrower, with no room redesign or yard editing. Collov AI bundles video tours and an API, and the Tinty pages we read list neither. For adjacent property work, the industry verticals directory lists related tools.
Pricing
Previews are free. Subscriptions are $9, $39 or $79 a month with fixed monthly allowances of finished photos, and yearly billing gives two months free. A one-time Listing pack costs $29, and hand-finished TINTY Studio photos are $10 each.
90 depending on how you buy. These are USD list prices labeled launch pricing, and early-user prices stay with the account while the plan is kept. Virtual Staging AI and Collov AI also sell fixed photo allowances.

Key Features
- Free previews: Each request returns three variants and a photo can have up to six, so you can compare looks before spending anything.
- Staging controls: You choose from 9 room types, 6 styles (Contemporary, Transitional, Scandinavian, Modern, Japandi / Organic and Minimalist) and 7 accent colors, and can switch single pieces of furniture on or off.
- MLS-sized finals: Finished photos render as 2K files, about 2,500 px on the long side in a 3:2 frame, sized for MLS listings, portals and letter-size flyers.
- Disclosure label: A "Virtually staged" label can be switched on for finished photos, and project links show the original photo next to the staged one.
- Rollover allowance: Unused finished photos roll over up to one month's allowance and are kept for 90 days after a plan ends.
- TINTY Studio: A done-for-you option where the team stages emailed photos with its AI tools, finishes each by hand and returns a private link within 2 to 24 hours.
Pros
- A free account lets you judge the result on your own room before any card is entered.
- Pricing is published down to the per-photo cost for every plan and the Listing pack, so the cheapest route for one listing versus monthly volume is easy to work out.
- The Terms and privacy policy state that photos are not used to train AI models, and name every processor, including where the database and image storage sit.
- Cancellation works from the account page, and a money-back guarantee covers the first payment, the first Listing pack and the first Studio delivery.
Cons
- It stages empty rooms only: kitchens, bathrooms and exteriors are not supported (a terrace is the only outdoor room type), and it cannot remove existing furniture.
- Finals are 2K files rather than 4K, and furniture is not kept consistent across several angles of one room, a job the vendor sends to its hand-finished Studio service.
- Anyone holding a project link can view and download both the finished photos and the original photo, so links need careful sharing.
- The Terms name an individual as the operator, and the pages we read list no company registration or SOC 2-style attestation, which some brokerages ask for in vendor reviews.
- The vendor itself warns that AI can misjudge scale or place a piece oddly, so every render needs a check before it goes on the MLS.
Data Handling
- Training-data policy
- No training on customer photos or renders (Terms, section 6); retention windows at Google and fal.ai are set out in the AI processing section of the privacy policy.
- Data residency
- Database hosted in the United States and image storage in North America (Cloudflare R2); some providers process data elsewhere

What are the best alternatives to Tinty?
[Virtual Staging AI](/hub/tools/virtual-staging-ai), owned by Zillow Group, has no free plan but sells larger monthly allowances than Tinty's top plan. [Collov AI](/hub/tools/collov-ai) bundles multi-angle sets, twilight edits and an API, which suits agents who need more than empty-room staging. [ReimagineHome](/hub/tools/reimaginehome) edits real rooms and yards through a chat box and gives new users 5 free designs. Choose Tinty when you want published per-photo prices and a free trial on your own room.
Tinty or Virtual Staging AI: which should you pick?
Tinty has a free plan, and its cheapest monthly plan costs less per photo than Virtual Staging AI's cheapest, while Virtual Staging AI's larger plans work out cheaper per photo than Tinty's top plan. Virtual Staging AI lists 7 room types and 8 furniture styles and offers furniture removal, which Tinty does not. Go with Tinty for light, occasional use or to test on your own room first, and with Virtual Staging AI for high monthly volume or whenever furniture has to be removed.
What does it take to start using Tinty?
Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP of an empty room (up to 10 MB) on the home page, pick the room type, style, accent color and furniture, and wait for three previews to appear. Sign in with Google or a one-time email code, since Tinty has no passwords, to render the previews you like as finished photos. Use an empty room, avoid photos showing people, and label the result as virtually staged where your MLS requires it.
Top Alternatives
