Catalogue 200 lots in a day. Without losing the specialist tone.
Genlista turns a single photo into a catalogue-grade lot description — with authenticity signals, provenance language and market context — in every major auction language. Built for sale rooms that need volume without sacrificing scholarship.
From estate intake to online catalogue — in hours, not weeks.
From shop snapshot to catalogue plate — in one click.
Photograph a piece on a workbench, in the gallery, at a fair — Genlista isolates it on a uniform white catalogue backdrop while preserving marks, patina and detail. Included free on every plan.
The same piece, written for each platform.
Catawiki collectors expect period detail. LiveAuctioneers reads in shouty caps. The Saleroom wants conservative attribution. Drouot demands proper French. 1stDibs sells the lifestyle. Genlista rewrites tone, length and vocabulary per platform — automatically.

Listing is the bottleneck — not the selling.
Cataloguers spend 30–45 minutes per lot writing descriptions that all sound the same.
Multilingual catalogues (EN/FR/DE/NL/IT/ES) double or triple the workload before every sale.
Junior staff over-claim attribution; senior specialists become the editing bottleneck.
LiveAuctioneers, Invaluable, The Saleroom and Drouot each want a different format.
Built for your workflow.
