How to Compress Images for Real Estate Listings on Windows
On Windows, a browser-based compressor avoids installing extra software. Property listings rely on many wide photos, and fast-loading galleries keep buyers browsing longer.
Recommended settings for real estate listings
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 1920 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 78 |
| File size | 400 KB or less |
These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.
How to Compress Images
Open Edge, Chrome or Firefox, drag your photos from File Explorer into the drop zone, and set quality around 78.
For several files, use Download all to get a single ZIP. Extract it and your images are ready for real estate listings with the original files untouched.
Step by step with TheCompressJPEG
- Open the compress JPEG to 300 KB tool, or the main compressor for custom settings.
- Drop in your image. Nothing is uploaded; it is processed in your browser.
- Set the maximum width to 1920 and the target size to 400 KB.
- Press Compress, check the result and download it.
Quick tips
- Write a size limit slightly below the stated maximum to leave a margin.
- Process private images locally rather than uploading them to unknown servers.
- Crop out distractions so pixels go to the subject.
- Use WebP where it is supported and you control the page.
