Draw Property Lines on a Photo
Upload an aerial, drone, satellite, or listing photo and manually trace the approximate lot boundary from a survey, plat, or GIS reference. This is a photo overlay editor—not an address or parcel lookup.

This creates a marketing visual, not a survey. Use county GIS, parcel records, or a licensed surveyor when exact legal boundary accuracy matters.
How to add property lines to aerial and drone photos
Start with a survey, parcel map, plat map, or county GIS record you trust. Then use visible roads, fences, tree lines, field edges, and survey markers to place the approximate boundary on the photo. The closer your photo is to a straight-down view, the easier it is to match the reference accurately.
2
Upload your photo
Choose a clear aerial, drone, satellite, or listing photo where the full parcel and nearby landmarks are visible.
3
Trace the boundary
Zoom in for fine detail, click points around the lot lines, close the shape, then drag or insert points to align with roads, fences, tree lines, or field edges.
4
Download the overlay
Optionally shade, annotate, or crop the image, then download a clean JPG by default or choose PNG for your listing, ad, brochure, seller report, or social post.
Start with a trustworthy boundary source
Use a parcel map, plat map, survey, or county GIS record as your reference. This tool helps turn that information into a clear photo overlay for buyers.
Match lines to visible landmarks
Zoom into roads, fences, tree lines, field edges, and survey markers. Add detail points where the boundary bends so the overlay follows the parcel cleanly.
Keep the disclosure simple
Use boundary overlays as marketing visuals, then disclose that exact legal boundaries should be confirmed through a survey or official parcel records.
Turn trusted boundary records into a clear listing image
This is not an address lookup or legal survey tool. It is a fast photo editor for agents, land sellers, and marketers who already have a boundary reference and need a clear listing image. Start with the best available source, then draw the overlay on the photo you want buyers to see.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an official property map or legal survey?+
No. This free tool creates approximate visual boundary overlays for marketing, listing prep, and buyer orientation. It is not a legal survey, title report, plat, appraisal, property report, or official parcel map.
How accurate are the property lines I draw?+
The overlay is only as accurate as the source information you use. For exact boundaries, verify with a licensed surveyor, county GIS records, assessor parcel maps, plat maps, deeds, or other official records.
Can this find property lines by address?+
No. Listing Wand does not look up parcel boundaries by address. Use a county GIS site, assessor map, survey, or plat map to find the parcel shape, then use this page to draw a clean marketing overlay on a photo.
Can I use a Google Maps or Google Earth screenshot?+
You can upload common image files, including screenshots, if you have the right to use them. For listing media, many agents start with a drone photo or approved listing photo, then trace the boundary from official parcel records.
Can I use these images in my MLS listing?+
Many agents use approximate property-line or lot-line visuals in listing media, but rules vary by MLS, broker, and state. Follow local disclosure requirements and avoid presenting an overlay as a legal survey.
What image formats are supported?+
The browser editor accepts common image files such as JPG, PNG, and WebP. JPG is the default export for MLS use, and PNG remains available.
Do you store my photos?+
No. This tool runs in your browser. Uploaded photos are read locally and are not sent to Listing Wand servers by this page.
What is the difference between property lines, lot lines, and boundary lines?+
People often use these phrases interchangeably in real estate marketing. A legal boundary should come from official records or a survey, while a listing-photo overlay is a visual aid that helps buyers understand the approximate parcel shape.
