FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Autaxo Studio

If your question is not listed here, write to us. We usually reply the same business day.

How does Autaxo Studio work?

In three steps: 1) You photograph your vehicles right on the lot with a smartphone. 2) You upload the photos to Autaxo Studio (via web, API, or with iFrame embedding in your existing software). 3) The AI optimizes background, shadows, reflections, branding, and license plates in around 11 seconds per image. Afterwards you export the finished listing images directly to mobile.de, AutoScout24, or your DMS.

Which photos do I need for a good result?

Smartphone photos in daylight or under an overcast sky are enough. We recommend a tidy background (no moving traffic, no people) and a consistent perspective across your inventory. The AI automatically evens out exposure, angle, and background. Even suboptimal photos become usable.

Do I need a photo studio or special equipment?

No. Autaxo Studio replaces the physical studio with a virtual one. You need no lighting setup, no photo booth, no DSLR camera. A current smartphone and an outdoor spot on your lot are enough.

Does it also work with smartphone photos?

Yes, exclusively. Autaxo Studio is designed for mobile shots. The AI is trained to detect and correct typical smartphone photo weaknesses (distortion, exposure, shadows). JPEG, HEIC, and PNG are processed directly.

Can I use custom showrooms and my dealership branding?

From the Pro plan: yes. You define wall colors, floor material, lighting mood, and logo position for your brand-compliant showroom. The Standard and Demo plans offer a selection of prebuilt showrooms. The Business plan additionally includes role-based permissions for multiple locations.

Can license plates be masked automatically?

Yes, in every plan. Autaxo Studio detects the license plate automatically and replaces it in a GDPR-compliant way, either as a blurred area or as your dealership's digital plate insert (for example with your dealer logo).

Does Autaxo Studio support interior and exterior shots?

Yes. The AI handles exterior photos (with background swap into the showroom) and interior photos (with color saturation correction and transparent windows) using adapted models for each. A standard set typically includes 6 exterior and 4 interior shots, so 10 photos per vehicle.

Can the images be exported to my DMS or to mobile.de?

Yes. Autaxo Studio offers a REST API for direct export, webhooks for DMS synchronization, and prebuilt integrations for mobile.de and AutoScout24. Format and resolution are adjusted automatically per platform. You can find a complete integration list at /en/dms-integration.

How long does the image optimization take?

About 11 seconds per image, from upload to finished output. A standard vehicle with 5 exterior shots is therefore processed in under a minute. Bulk processing via the API scales linearly: 100 images in around 18 minutes, 1,000 images in under 3 hours.

Is Autaxo Studio suitable for multiple locations?

Yes, from the Business plan. You manage locations, employees, and roles centrally. Each location can use its own showroom templates or stay consistent with central corporate identity guidelines. Images are automatically assigned to the right location and employee.

What happens to my image data?

Images are processed on servers in Germany and deleted automatically after 90 days, earlier on request. We do not use your images to train public models. German GDPR applies, and a data processing agreement (DPA) is available for business customers.

Can I test Autaxo Studio with my own vehicle photos?

Yes. When you sign up you get 10 free credits (= 5 AI images), with no payment method and no contract. That is enough for a complete vehicle set (5 exterior shots), so you can check the results on your real inventory before deciding on a plan.

What does Autaxo Studio cost?

2 credits = 1 vehicle image, from €0.40 per image (in volume pack L). You have two options: (a) a DMS plan with a monthly credit quota plus complete dealer management: DMS One €49/month or €559/year (70 credits = 35 images/month, ≈ 7 vehicles), DMS Pro €79/month or €899/year (150 credits = 75 images, ≈ 15 vehicles), DMS Business €149/month or €1,599/year (400 credits = 200 images, ≈ 40 vehicles). With the yearly plan you save approx. 5–10%. (b) individual credit packs (they never expire): XS 50 credits = 25 images for €15 (€0.60/image), S 100 = 50 images for €27 (−10%), M 250 = 125 images for €59 (−21%), L 1,000 = 500 images for €199 (−34%, €0.40/image). With a subscription you additionally get contracts with e-signature, §25a tax logic, GoBD accounting, DATEV export, mobile.de and AutoScout24 integrations, the AI assistant "Carlo", and AI receipt recognition. Plus: 10 free credits to start (Unlimited Demo, 5 vehicle images), with no contract and no payment method.

How is Autaxo Studio different from Autaxo DMS on autaxo.de?

Autaxo Studio is the AI photo tool. Autaxo DMS is the complete cloud software for contracts, §25a tax logic, GoBD accounting, and the DATEV interface. Every DMS plan includes a monthly image quota (2 credits = 1 image): One at €49 includes 70 credits (35 images), Pro at €79 includes 150 (75 images), Business at €149 includes 400 (200 images). If you need a dealer management system anyway, autaxo.de is the better deal.

What happens to unused credits at the end of the month?

In the paid plans, monthly credits expire at the end of the month. With yearly billing, all credits are unlocked at contract start and can be used flexibly over 12 months. The 10 starter credits from the free sign-up have no fixed expiration date. Individually purchased credit packs (XS to L, 50–1,000 credits) never expire and can be used without a subscription.
