Driving Dealership Success: How Cionde Background Remover Elevates Automotive Photography

Buyers in particular are visual consumers. They browse listings for what could be hours before ever stepping foot on their lot or speaking with one of their salespeople.

A car buyer’s decision on which lot to visit, what type or model to buy, or which dealer to purchase from will likely be made from what they see online, from before they ever have any interaction with his or her salesperson. But while dealerships have known for some time now the importance of having clean, professional-looking pictures on their websites, many dealerships include pictures in their site listings with shadows, with clutter, or in general, with less-than-attractive environments, no matter how beautiful their cars really are.

And this is precisely what their new Background Remover product from Cionde corrects.

Every Car Deserves a Hero Image

Every vehicle that comes into your lot, whether brand new, certified, or pre-owned, or used, needs to have its moment in the spotlight. But in reality, many cars are photographed in not-so-picture-perfect settings.

For example, an attractive SUV could be photographed parked in front of trash cans. A beautiful sedan could be photographed in direct sunlight, causing its paint job to look dull.

Maybe after being detailed, a new truck could be photographed in front of disorganized shop equipment.

All these problems are solved instantly by Cionde.

With one upload, you'll be able to remove the vehicle from any background image it was photographed on in order to move it to some clean, dealership-selected backgrounds. Just think about being able to showcase your entire vehicle lineup on your website with clean, professional, modern-looking backgrounds.

These backgrounds could have subtle gradients, soft lighting, textured patterns, or customized patterns with your dealership’s colors, your dealership’s logo, or your dealership’s slogan. It’s a statement to consumers looking to purchase new cars: you care about presentation, about quality, about detail.

A professional-looking photograph exudes professionalism. It increases perceived value. It inspires consumers to have more confidence, and confidence, after all, is what drives more inquiries and more showroom visits.

AI Capable Of Understanding Auto Photography

Cars are not objects to be simply segmented out. They have many reflections, Chrome regions, glass regions, edges, small elements, which stump regular object removal algorithms. Side mirrors have environment reflections. Headlights have multiple layers of reflections. Wheels have complicated negative regions. Even such tiny things as transparencies in windows usually look not natural with regular algorithms.

Cionde’s AI was built taking into consideration these challenges.

Rather, our solution looks at the real edges in a vehicle, not just its color differences. It knows difficult areas with reflective surfaces, distinguishing edges in a vehicle in such a way that, no matter whether its surroundings are reflected in its body, it gets the real edge in its image.

It maintains transparency in automobile headlights, the natural slope in windows, and sharp edges in areas like wheels, grilles, trims, and spoilers. Rather, it leaves edges with a raw, genuine, and reconstructed appearance.

It means fewer edits, fewer re-shoots, and vastly improved visual quality for dealerships.

Speed Matters: Faster Listings, Faster Sales

"The car sales market is dynamic. Consumer demand changes every week. Prices are not fixed. New stock enters every day. But one thing remains constant: Vehicles not on the Internet sales pages are not selling."

It is necessary for professional photo retouching to have either in-house graphic designers or contract out an editor. These services end up charging you money, slowing you down in getting on market with new product listings for sale. It could take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours, or maybe more, to conclude such editing.

Cionde Background Remover reduces those wait times to minutes.

A salesperson could take their pictures on the lot, post them during their break or in between meeting with clients, and have flawless pictures posted by end-of-day. No waiting in line. No bottlenecking. No need to wait for designs.

Such speed enables dealerships to:

• List new arrivals faster

• Adapt to market changes rapidly

• Refresh aging inventory instantly

• Improve online engagement

• Minimize Time on

If your competitors are taking days to post their listings, while you are taking hours, you have an incredible edge.

Powering Every Marketing Channel Without Additional Effort

But once Cionde removes the background, you have a clean, high-quality transparent PNG on your hands. And from there, your possibilities suddenly expand exponentially. Now, you could put that one image on:

• Your Dealership Website

• Dealer

• Auto trader websites and other marketplaces

• Facebook Marketplace | Facebook Ads

• Google Vehicle Ads

• Email newsletters

• Promotion banners

• Digital billboards

• Physical Print Resources

How about one with blue gradients? Done. What about one for advertising in winter, complete with graphics of snow? Done. Maybe it’s for an upcoming weekend promotion? Change out the banner in the background from under the same vehicle pic without reshooting.

Cionde offers you unlimited creative freedom.

A Boost for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Vehicles

Certified pre-owned marketing relies heavily on presentation. Consumers believe certified pre-owned vehicles must have a premium, refined, and trustworthy handling characteristic. They demand cars which look to be well cared for, meticulously checked, and worth every extra penny.

Cionde assists in communicating such value to dealerships.

By uploading all your CPO vehicle pictures to Cionde, you guarantee all models are given an equally professional, manufactor level appearance. Background removal emphasizes shine, paint depth, reconditioning, new tires, and enhanced features. It's not like pictures from a used car lot, but more like something out of an automobile catalog.

If consumers think they are looking at better pictures, they are likely to think their vehicle is better, too, which usually translates to better margins.

Helpful Beyond Sales: Service and Parts Departments Benefit Too

Involving sales, service,

Cionde is more than just a car listing site. Service, detail, or parts operations could utilize it too.

Clean, professional, high-resolution pictures can be produced for:

"Before-and-after detailing images

Wheel, tire, or other rim-related offers

Seasonal Service Campaigns

By taking out the background, regular service pictures become bold marketing graphics with a high-end look. It’s also an effective means to rebrand your dealership, communicating to consumers that your service technicians provide professional-level services.

Creating an Even Playing Field for Small Dealerships

Dealerships operate in varying scales, with many dealerships having budgets for studio lighting, photography equipment, and in-house designers. Small dealerships lack such budgets. It is difficult for small dealerships to establish their presence on the internet with such constraints.

Cionde bridges this gap entirely.

Using nothing more than a smartphone and natural light, a small car dealership could produce pictures from their sales lot that rival those from professional press releases from automobile companies. Without investing in any hardware. Without hiring any new personnel. Without any complicated setups.

Just shoot on the lot → upload → get amazing results.

It has enabled small dealerships to rival giant companies in their market, looking more credible, trustworthy, and professional on websites.

“Your Photos Do the Selling—Make Them Count”

With modern technology in the automotive market, your pictures are your sales personnel before your sales representatives get into action. Buyers scan through pictures fast, such that if their attention isn't captured in the first second, they'll end up looking for pictures in another vehicle listing. Cionde Background Remover ensures it puts each vehicle on perfect lighting, with consistency in branding.

It transforms rough raw pictures into clean, showroom-worthy pictures that enable buyers to imagine owning them from click one itself. Cionde is the quickest, most efficient route from "just listed" to "sold." It gives dealerships, whether small or large, the ability to showcase every car with confidence, consistency, and commercial-level quality.
