Before the Keys Change Hands
Every sale is
a small goodbye.
Most people sell a car, wave it off, and spend the next few years half-hoping it turns up at a show. The smart ones capture it first — a portrait made while they still have access to it, while they know every detail of the spec, the colour, the modifications.
Alive My Ride takes your sale photos and turns them into a dramatic cinematic portrait — the kind that goes on the wall, not in a cloud backup you'll never open again. It takes minutes. The car takes a piece of you when it goes.
"I sold my E46 M3 last spring. I'd already made the portrait. It's the only thing I don't regret about the whole transaction."

How It Works

Upload and describe your car
Make, model, year, exact colour, any modifications or special spec details. The things you know about your car that a new owner will never think to ask.

Questions
Common questions
Can I get a portrait of my car before I sell it?
Yes — and this is the ideal time to do it. While you still have the car, you can take detailed photographs and describe every spec detail accurately. Upload them and generate a cinematic portrait before the new owner drives it away.
How long does it take to get the portrait?
Portraits are generated in minutes. You can have a finished high-resolution image — ready to download, print or frame — before you've even listed the car for sale.
Can I use my existing sale photos?
Absolutely. The photos you take for the listing work perfectly — clear exterior shots in good light give us everything we need to capture the colour, body shape and spec accurately.
What does it cost?
A Starter pack is £10 for 1,000 credits — enough for one full portrait generation. Credits never expire, so you can create variations over time or come back for your next car.
