What AutoStudio can do for Facebook Marketplace listings

Facebook Marketplace requires real photos of your actual vehicle — that's a hard rule, and AutoStudio won't suggest a synthetic background as a way around it. Where it does help: consistent lighting, color, and exposure across your whole gallery, plus automatic license-plate and face blur applied to your real photos — which supports privacy compliance, not the background rule. See the API, check pricing, or read the full car listing photo requirements guide covering every major marketplace.
