Glossy floor reflections for a premium showroom look.

Every image is edited by a specialist retoucher and quality-checked before delivery, so your listings look consistent, professional and ready to sell.

Showrooms polish their floors for a reason: a car reflected in the surface beneath it looks expensive. Our car reflection shadow service adds that glossy floor reflection to your photos — the finish you see in manufacturer brochures and premium listings. It is the finish prestige brands use to make a car look like it is sitting in a flagship showroom.

The reflection is built from the car itself, mirrored, graded and faded the way real polished floors behave — strongest at the tyres, dissolving as it stretches, and tinted by the floor colour of the scene. Combined with a clean studio background, it turns an ordinary stock photo into the kind of image usually shot in a studio with a turntable. It is a small change that buyers read instantly as premium.

Reflection work is the finishing step: it follows background replacement and sits on top of a natural contact shadow so the car stays grounded. It is a favourite for flagship and performance cars. Try it on one car through the free trial — the effect sells itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reflection shadow?
It is a mirrored reflection of the car on the floor beneath it, like a polished showroom surface. It adds depth and a premium feel that plain shadows cannot.
How much does it cost?
It is $0.49 per image, with 10% off at 100+ images and 15% off at 500+. Most dealers use it selectively on their highest-value cars rather than whole sets.
Does the reflection work on any background?
It works best on clean studio or showroom scenes, which is why it usually follows a background replacement. On busy outdoor scenes we will advise honestly if it will not look natural.
Will it look realistic, or like a mirror trick?
Realistic. Real floors reflect softly and unevenly, so we fade and blur the reflection with distance and match the floor's colour — never a perfect mirror image.
Can I have both a shadow and a reflection?
Yes, and you usually should: the contact shadow from the car shadow service grounds the car, and the reflection builds on top of it.
How fast can I get it?
Standard turnaround is 24 hours. Send one car through the free trial and judge the effect on your own stock.
