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 minutes or less per item — most lots in under 60 seconds
  • 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

Three ways in

Pick the input mode that fits your sale.

Snaplot doesn't force a workflow. Single phone shoots, folders of pre-named files exported from a camera, or a chaotic dump of unsorted photos — there's a flow for each. All three feed into the same AI pipeline and the same export.

Mobile · single-lot

Best for: walking the room with a phone, or anything where you photograph one lot, generate, approve, then move to the next.

  1. Open /catalogue/ on your phone or tablet.
  2. Take photos for one lot, tap Generate.
  3. Review the draft, edit anything by hand, save and move to the next lot.

Bulk Pre-named

Best for: you (or your photographer) already named the files like lot001-1.jpg, lot001-2.jpg, lot002-1.jpg — Snaplot will group them into lots automatically.

  1. Open /bulk-upload/ and drag the whole folder onto the drop zone.
  2. Files upload in parallel (up to 16 concurrent, with auto-tune), survive network drops, and resume from any device using the same catalogue name.
  3. Click Preview & commit — Snaplot shows the inferred lot grouping, picks a category-specific AI prompt for each lot, then queues the AI in the background.

Lot by Photo

Best for: a phone-roll dump or a card of unsorted photos that haven't been grouped into lots yet — sort them visually by drag-and-drop instead of renaming files.

  1. Open /mailroom/ and drop your unsorted photos.
  2. In the workspace, drag photos from the gallery into lot buckets. Use ⚡ Auto-bundle for an even split, or build buckets one-by-one with the Sequential tickbox.
  3. Click Finalize & commit — Snaplot renames the photos to lot order, runs Stage-2 prompt selection per lot, then queues the AI.

Cross-device resume. Bulk and Lot-by-Photo sessions are server-side and tied to the catalogue name. Start on a laptop in the back office, finish on a tablet on the saleroom floor — the work picks up exactly where you left off.

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.

Try it on a real lot.
