Image File Size Checklist for Real Estate Listings
Run through this list before you upload. 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.
Image File Size Checklist
Is it the right format? Photos should be JPEG or WebP. Is it the right width? Around 1920 pixels suits real estate listings. Is it under the limit? Aim for 400 KB or whatever the destination specifies.
Is it oriented correctly, cropped cleanly and free of private metadata? Our compressor handles orientation and strips metadata automatically when it re-encodes the image.
