UK · Gumtree ads from a photo

Gumtree listing generator

Gumtree is where people look for a bargain they can pick up locally: furniture, bikes, tools, garden stuff, baby gear. Snappy writes the ad from one photo, and even tells you which category to put it in.

Write your next Gumtree ad

Snap a photo and Snappy writes the title, description, category and a suggested price. On a PC, the free Chrome extension fills in the Gumtree form for you.

What makes a Gumtree ad work

Gumtree buyers search by keyword and category, then filter by distance. To get found and get a quick reply:

The right category: an ad in the wrong one disappears from browsing. Snappy suggests the category with every Gumtree listing.
A keyword title: brand, item and key detail ("Carrera Vengeance mountain bike, 29in wheels, medium frame").
The facts buyers ask about: size or measurements, condition, what's included.
Collection or postage: most Gumtree sales are local, so say where and when.
A fair price, and whether you'll take offers.
