How to make a real estate listing video from photos
Pick 3 to 12 of your best listing photos, put them in walkthrough order, add motion to each one and export a 1920x1080 MP4. With Reelty you paste a listing link or upload photos, choose the shots, and the finished video appears in My Videos, usually within a few minutes for ten photos.

What you need
- 3 to 12 photos you own or have permission to use (landscape orientation works best).
- Either a public listing link (a property website or an Airbnb listing) or the image files themselves.
- A title for the video, and optionally a subtitle, a location or price line and a closing line.
Step by step
- 1
Collect the photos
Paste a property website or Airbnb link and Reelty copies the images into private storage, or upload your own files. Copying means the video keeps working even if the original listing changes.
- 2
Choose and order the shots
Remove weak photos, drag the rest into walkthrough order and add more if you need them. Reelty accepts 3 to 12 photos per video.
- 3
Clean up if needed
Run watermark removal on your own images one at a time and check the before and after preview before you keep the result.
- 4
Add details and create the video
Set a title and optional text cards, turn background music on or off and confirm you have the rights to the photos. Rendering runs in the background, so you can close the page.
- 5
Play and download
Open My Videos to play the result and download the MP4, plus every photo used in the video, singly or as a ZIP.
Which photos work best
The video is built from your photos, so the photos set the ceiling. A practical shot order for a sale listing:
- Start with the exterior or the strongest view.
- Move through the main living space and the kitchen.
- Show bedrooms and bathrooms next.
- Finish with outdoor space, a balcony or a view.
- Use sharp, well-lit, level photos and skip near-duplicates.

Be honest about what it is
A photo-based video is AI-generated. It adds camera movement to your photos and may differ from the real property, so it is a teaser for your listing rather than a faithful tour. Check your local advertising rules before publishing it, and only use photos you have the right to use.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I make a real estate listing video from photos?
- Choose 3 to 12 listing photos, order them as a walkthrough and generate the video. In Reelty you paste a listing link or upload photos, pick the shots, and download a 1920x1080 MP4 from My Videos when it finishes.
- How many photos do I need?
- Reelty needs at least 3 and accepts up to 12 photos per video.
- Can I make a listing video from a link instead of files?
- Yes. Paste a public property website or Airbnb listing link and Reelty copies the photos for you to curate.
- How long does it take?
- Usually a few minutes for ten photos. Rendering happens in the background and the video appears in My Videos when it is ready.
- Does it replace a professional video tour?
- No. It turns still photos into a short cinematic video. It does not capture the real layout of the property the way a filmed tour does.
