Showcase every vehicle, without a photographer or a studio

pycar is a fully standalone app: one phone is all it takes to produce studio exterior shots, detail views, a 360° interior photo and an exploded view of the vehicle. Everything is computed on the phone — no connection needed.

Four views that sell a vehicle

Exterior views

Augmented reality guides you around the car and takes each shot at the right angle, distance and height. The background is replaced by a white or black studio, a workshop or a showroom, with realistic shadows.

  • Same framing for every vehicle in your stock
  • Studio, workshop or showroom backdrops
  • Licence plates masked with your branding

Detail views

A checklist makes sure nothing is forgotten: rims, headlights, badges, dashboard, odometer, seats, boot. Use the ready-made lists or create your own.

  • Ready-made or custom checklists
  • Framing hints for each detail
  • 48 MP photos on compatible iPhones
360°iPhone · RICOH THETA

360° interior photo

Let buyers step inside the car. Capture the cabin in 360° with the phone alone, or in one shot with a RICOH THETA camera controlled directly from the app.

  • Phone only, or RICOH THETA in one shot
  • Interactive viewer in the app
  • Shared with the rest of the vehicle file

Exploded view management

pycar breaks each exterior photo down into panels — doors, wings, bonnet, bumpers, wheels — so you can zoom in on each part, place quality and defect hotspots, and attach a detail photo to each.

  • Every panel isolated and named
  • Quality and defect hotspots with detail photos
  • Pinch to zoom on every part

And everything else your team needs

Precise AI cutout

A dedicated AI separates the car from its surroundings with clean edges, down to the antenna and mirrors — neighbouring cars stay out.

Plate masking

Licence plates are detected and covered with your own branded plate, on photos, studio renders and videos.

VIN & plate scanning

Read the chassis number and the licence plate from a photo. The VIN check digit is verified automatically.

Detail checklist

Rims, dashboard, odometer, seats, boot… Ready-made or custom checklists make sure no detail photo is forgotten.

Studio backdrops

Replace the street with a white or black studio, a workshop or a showroom, with realistic shadows and reflections matched to the camera angle.

Send to your systems

With the pycar API, each vehicle file is sent to your own server with OAuth 2.0 or a login and password. Documentation included.

How it works

No photographer, no turntable, no editing software.

Create the vehicle

Scan the plate or the VIN, add brand, model and mileage, and pick a shot list.
