Portfolio consistency tenants actually notice
When a tenant searches your branch on a property portal, every thumbnail should carry your brand. Mixed photographer exports, phone snaps, and legacy files from a previous CRM undermine the professional impression you want on a competitive rental patch.
Stampi locks in logo position, size, and opacity once per batch. Whether you are listing a studio flat or a four-bed house share, the branding looks identical across the portfolio. Tenants may not comment on it directly, but inconsistent thumbnails read as disorganised management.
Landlords comparing three agents on the same street notice which branch presents stock uniformly. That visual discipline supports higher agreed rents and faster void periods when marketing looks cared for.
HMO listings with shared communal shots need the same logo treatment as self-contained flats. Inconsistent branding on one corridor photo can make an otherwise strong portfolio look patched together.
Same-day uploads for new instructions
A new rental instruction often needs to go live the same afternoon the keys are collected. Summer lettings season stacks viewings on the same day keys change hands. When three studios and a two-bed all need photos before 5pm, batch branding is the difference between live listings and apologies to landlords.
Batch processing means you upload twenty room shots, apply your branch logo, resize for portal requirements, and download a ZIP ready for Rightmove or Zoopla. Most letting desks process a full flat in under fifteen minutes once the logo position is saved.
Friday afternoon is painful when void periods cost money. Landlords expect to see their property live before the weekend influx of tenant enquiries. Batch export means admin is not the bottleneck between signed terms and a live portal link.
Corporate relocation landlords often expect live portal links within hours of key collection. Batch prep is how small letting teams compete on service without extra headcount.
Works with how letting teams actually shoot
Not every room photo comes from a professional shoot. Landlords send iPhone HEIC files, negotiators snap quick kitchen shots on site, and photographers deliver full-resolution 4000px exports when budget allows.
Stampi converts HEIC to JPG, resizes oversized files, and brands the lot in a single pass. Inventory clerks sometimes forward checkout photos in HEIC. Run them through the same conversion and branding pipeline before marketing re-lets.
Student lets near universities often mix portrait phone shots with one professional communal area image. Resizing everything to 1600px longest edge before upload stops the communal shot looking crisp while bedrooms look soft from inconsistent portal processing.
Managed portfolio landlords sometimes send dated photos from a previous tenancy. Resize, rebrand, and refresh rather than delaying a re-let while you wait for a photographer slot.
Rightmove and Zoopla sizing for rentals
Rightmove and Zoopla both expect JPG files in sRGB colour space with a maximum of 1600 pixels on the longest edge. Letting stock often arrives as a mix of formats and sizes from different sources. Normalising in one batch before upload keeps every room shot sharp and consistent.
A typical rental listing carries fifteen to twenty photos: lounge, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, and maybe communal areas in a block. Compress sensibly so uploads finish on slower office connections without muddy colours on white kitchen units.
Most agents upload identical photo sets to both portals. Preparing once to 1600px sRGB JPG with your logo applied saves duplicating work across two upload panels.
Room-only lettings in shared houses still need crisp kitchen and bathroom shots at portal dimensions. Tenants scroll quickly; soft thumbnails from oversized uploads suggest the agent cut corners.
- Rightmove profile: JPG, 1600px longest edge, sRGB colour space
- Web optimised: max 2048px JPEG for your own website and social
- HEIC conversion: iPhone shots normalised before resize and branding
Scaling across a growing rental book
Build-to-rent blocks with twenty identical floor plans still need distinct hero shots per unit. Run each flat as its own batch so filenames map cleanly to unit numbers in your CRM.
Portfolio landlords with fifty units across a town benefit from a repeatable workflow. Share the branch logo file, position, opacity, and export profile in a short internal note so every negotiator produces identical output.
When you refresh agency branding, update the master logo once and re-run recent listings if compliance requires it. Batch processing makes that painful job tolerable across a large rental book.
Block management teams with weekly churn benefit from a saved Stampi tab and a pinned branch logo file. Repeatability matters more than perfection on every individual phone snap.
Honest limits for rental stock photography
Wide-angle phone lenses distort small box rooms. Batch export does not correct lens distortion; only honest framing at capture helps. Stampi will not rescue a blurry kitchen or fix a window that has blown out to pure white.
Aggressive compression can soften fine brick detail on exterior shots of Victorian terraces. Use the before and after preview on a sample image before you process twenty files.
Video watermarking is not supported in the browser tool. If your branch wants branded walkthrough clips, that needs a different workflow or the Stampi API for automated video processing.
Mould, damage, or clutter visible in phone shots stays visible after conversion and branding. Honest representation protects you at check-out disputes later.
Frequently asked questions
How often do letting teams run Stampi batches?
Most letting desks run batches weekly or whenever new instructions land. Rental voids move faster than sales, so you might process five flats in a week where sales runs two houses. The workflow is identical each time: drop in the folder, apply the branch logo, export the Rightmove profile, download the ZIP. Once negotiators know the steps, each batch takes minutes rather than an afternoon in an image editor.
Can I mix professional and phone photos in one batch?
Yes. Stampi normalises formats and sizes in one pass. A professional 4000px living room shot and three iPhone HEIC bedroom snaps can go through together. Convert HEIC to sRGB JPG, resize to 1600px longest edge, apply your logo, and compress sensibly. Check the preview on the phone shots; they will not improve beyond what was captured, but they will upload cleanly.
Does branding help with landlord retention?
Landlords notice when their property looks professionally presented on the portals. Consistent logos and sizing signal that your branch treats every instruction with the same care. That visual discipline supports renewals when competitors pitch on fees alone. Batch branding is a small admin task that scales across a portfolio without hiring a designer.
Is Stampi free to use?
Yes. Stampi is free with no subscription, no credit card, and no trial that expires. Open the app, upload your files, and download the results. We built it that way on purpose because photo prep is annoying enough without a paywall in the middle.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Stampi runs in your browser with no sign-up. Images are processed locally on your device. When you close the tab or download your ZIP, the session is gone. We do not store your files on a server.
How do I get started?
Go to stampi.cc, upload your photos (or click Try with samples to load demo files), add your logo, pick your export formats, and hit Prepare Media. A ZIP downloads in seconds. That is the whole workflow.
