Privacy Tips When Compressing Images for Real Estate Listings
Many online compressors upload your images to a server. That is not always necessary. 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.
Privacy Tips When Compressing Images
TheCompressJPEG processes images in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, which matters for IDs, documents and family photos.
Before sharing images for real estate listings, also check the picture itself: addresses, licence plates and documents in the background can reveal more than you intend.
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.
