How it works
How Snaplot turns photos into auction-ready listings.
Three steps, five minutes. Here's exactly what happens between you tapping the shutter and pressing export.
Step 1
Snap
Open the catalogue page on a phone, tablet or desktop. Take photos with the in-app camera, or drag and drop from your camera roll.
- Up to 16 photos per lot
- iOS HEIC files handled automatically
- Reorder by drag, crop on tap
- Smart-edit any photo: background remove, denoise, straighten
Pro tip
Best results: well-lit, plain background, hallmarks or serial numbers visible in at least one shot. Snaplot's AI is grounded in what it can actually see — give it good evidence and it gives you a sharper listing.
Step 2
Generate
Snaplot's AI inspects every photo, looks up comparable sold items, drafts a title in your house's voice, writes a condition report grounded in what it actually sees, and gives you an estimate range.
- 5 to 20 seconds per item, on average
- All listing fields generated in one pass
- Style and tone tunable per house
- Live progress stream — no polling, no refreshing
Step 3
Approve & Export
Quick review — every field is editable. One-click regenerate if you want a different angle, or override anything by hand. When you're ready, export the lot or the whole catalogue.
- Inline edit on every field, every lot
- Export to auction-platform XLSX — drop-in upload format
- Generic CSV for any other platform
- ZIP archive of photos + metadata for offline use
What you can tune
Language & dialect
en-GB · en-US · French · German · Italian · Spanish — and switching mid-catalogue is fine.
Writing style
Brief · Educational · Heritage · Investment Grade · Standard · Premium · Technical — picks the voice for your house.
Prompt style
Curated to the lot category — Furniture, Silver, Numismatics, Vehicles, Art, Jewellery, and 100+ more.
AI fields
Choose which fields the AI auto-generates: title, description, condition, min/max estimate, start price, reserve.
Manual overrides
Switch any field to manual entry per lot. Useful for hard-to-photograph provenance, certificates, or seller's terms.
Export columns
Auction-platform XLSX out of the box. CSV is fully customisable per catalogue.
Worth saying
What Snaplot is not.
Snaplot doesn't replace expertise. It drafts the boring 80% so a cataloguer's time goes into the 20% that needs judgment — provenance, attribution, condition nuance, the call on whether a lot belongs in fine art or general antiques. You always see the AI draft and approve it before it saves.
If a lot is unusual, contested, or commercially sensitive, Snaplot's draft is a starting point — never a substitute for your eye.
