AB 723 says “label it”
Since January 1, 2026, altered listing photos in California need a disclosure and a link to the original. Which ones, and how?
How it works
From walkthrough to MLS-ready in three steps
Showlit was built for agents who shoot their own listings on an iPhone.
- On site
Shoot room by room
A level guide keeps walls straight, the room list keeps you on track, and Auto picks three-exposure HDR when windows are bright. Retake warnings catch people, blur and tilted shots before you leave.
- One tap
Polish the whole listing
Windows pulled in, verticals straightened, TVs blacked out, faces and plates blurred, light and color matched across every photo. Fine-tune any shot by hand.
- Ready to post
Export, labeled
Photos that need an AB 723 disclosure get the label on the image, with the unaltered version exported right after it. Save to Photos, or a .zip for the MLS.
Features

Tools for the last 10%
Erase a stray cord, swap a grey sky, set the white point from a wall, crop a tall ceiling. Undo anything.
Compliance, written for you
Showlit made every edit, so it knows which ones need a label. Each photo keeps an edit record; labels and originals come from it.

Private by design
All editing runs on your iPhone. No uploads, no account, no tracking. Your sellers' homes stay on your phone until you share them.
Exports that fit the MLS
JPEG in sRGB, numbered in your order with the cover first, remarks text included. A .zip can carry the photos as shot, and Pro adds a PDF record of every edit.
Honest edits only
Some edits Showlit won't make
A photo can look its best without showing a different home. Showlit refuses edits that would misrepresent the property, and says why.

California AB 723
Which edits need a label? Check in seconds.
California's AB 723 took effect January 1, 2026. Edits that change how the property looks need a disclosure on or next to the photo, and a link to the unaltered original. Routine corrections don't.
| Edit | Disclosure? |
|---|---|
| Brightness, exposure, white balance, color correction | Not needed |
| Straightening, cropping, sharpening, merging exposures | Not needed |
| Replacing the sky, greening the lawn | Required |
| Removing furniture or clutter | Required |
| Virtual staging | Required |
| Removing utility poles, changing the view or the neighbors | Required |

Where we're going
Beautiful listings, with nothing to hide
Buyers are learning to distrust listing photos. We think the agents who show the real home, at its best and clearly labeled, win that trust back. Next on our list:
Virtual staging that keeps the room
Furnish empty rooms with AI, while walls, floors, doors and windows are locked and checked after every render.
An originals page with a QR code
One link per listing showing each altered photo next to the original, ready for the MLS, your website and flyers.
Day-to-dusk and more states
Twilight exteriors, and disclosure presets as other states follow California, starting with Wisconsin in 2027.

FAQ
Questions agents ask
Does a brightened or straightened listing photo need an AB 723 disclosure?
No. AB 723 excludes lighting, exposure, white balance, color correction, sharpening, straightening, angle and cropping changes that don't change how the property is represented. Showlit records these edits without a label.
Which edits need a disclosure under AB 723?
Edits made with photo software or AI that add, remove or change elements of the property: furniture, fixtures, flooring, facades, landscaping, the sky, the view from a window, utility poles or neighboring properties. The ad must say the image was altered and link to the unaltered original, on or next to the image. More in our AB 723 guide.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Showlit 1.0 does all of its editing on your iPhone. Photos stay on the phone until you export or share them yourself, and there's no account and no analytics.
How much does Showlit cost?
Your first listing is free with every tool. Showlit Pro, for every listing, full-size MLS photos without a watermark and a PDF edit record, is $19.99 a month or $149.99 a year with a 7-day free trial.
Which phones does Showlit run on?
iPhones with iOS 17 or later. The guided camera uses the ultra-wide lens where the phone has one. An Android version isn't available yet.
Can I import photos from my photographer?
Yes. Import from your photo library or the Files app, including whole folders from iCloud Drive or Dropbox, then polish and label them the same way.
Is Showlit legal advice?
No. Showlit applies the disclosure rules as published and keeps a record of every edit, but responsibility for an advertisement stays with the agent and broker. Check your MLS rules and ask your broker when in doubt.
