Whether you need enhanced real inventory images or stock automotive imagery for vehicles in transit, JD Power Automotive Imagery solutions ensures every vehicle in your inventory is presented with the consistent, high-impact visuals that today’s car shoppers expect.

Whether you need enhanced real inventory images or stock automotive imagery for vehicles in transit, JD Power Automotive Imagery solutions ensures every vehicle in your inventory is presented with the consistent, high-impact visuals that today’s car shoppers expect.
JD Power offers two dealer inventory image solutions to overcome these challenges.
For real inventory images: Ideal Inventory Images is a solution for real dealer imagery assets where we utilize AI to identify the vehicle image, strip the background, append shading and window tinting – before applying the desired background for the dealership.
For stock images: VINpx is a solution where we append colorized year, make, model and possibly trim-specific image assets to any vehicle lacking live dealer photography – before applying the desired custom background to these images.
Ideal Inventory Images: A Solution for Real Inventory Images
Shopping online is highly visual. Shoppers want to see consistent images that really pique their interest. Only then will they move onto the stage of purchase consideration.
Using AI models, we have “learned” proper vehicle placement, shadowing and tinting of vehicle windows and paint to make the vehicle look as if it is actually placed upon a background of a dealer’s choice (their vehicle lot, showroom or one of our standard background options).
This ensures a consistent and normalized look from angle to angle and vehicle to vehicle – making for a more professional and pleasant online shopping experience.
Features & Benefits of Ideal Inventory Images
- Ease of use – Upload assets and get new assets back in 24 hours
- Consistency – All assets go through same model so the final asset will be consistent at every angle, every single time
- Dealer-specific custom backgrounds or generic backgrounds, if preferred
- Custom overlays (i.e. Certified Pre-Owned)
- Distinct backgrounds for Certified Pre-Owned
- Callouts – Based on Make, Model, Trim, Year, exterior color – or vehicle status, as long as those details are included in the data feed provided
- Dedicated support team
- Consistent marketing of vehicles
- Seamless integration with ChromeData suite of products
- For third-party sites, branding, backgrounds or watermarks are stripped away to conform to the site’s look and feel
VINpx Image Gallery: A Solution for Stock Imagery Assets
VINpx provides proprietary colorized new vehicle stock images including model, body type, trim (where available) while vehicles are still in-transit. Vehicles are actually placed upon a background of a dealer’s choice (their vehicle lot, showroom or one of our standard background options) before the inventory hits your lot.
Get vehicle images up on your VDPs immediately without waiting for lot photography to be scheduled and completed. Customers can visually experience your inventory instantly, giving them a better online shopping experience while allowing you to sell vehicles sooner and improve the online research process.
Features & Benefits of VINpx
- Visual Variety – 3 colorized exterior angles and up to 7 interior angles when available
- Background Choices – Choose from 5 standard backgrounds or provide a custom dealership background
- Unlimited syndication to multiple third-party site destinations with which a dealer participates
- Overlays – Such as logos or phone numbers; also provide consistency when featuring your inventory from site to site
- Dedicated support team
- Consistent marketing of vehicles
- Seamless integration with ChromeData suite of products
- While the competition waits for inventory to be posted, you sell new car inventory while the vehicle is in-transit
