MLS photo size requirements
Multiple Listing Services typically require photos between 1024×768 and 2048×1536 pixels, under 1–5 MB per image, in JPG format. Some MLS boards cap at 300KB per photo. High-resolution DSLR exports at 8–15 MB fail upload limits and slow listing syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin. Compressed photos upload faster and syndicate to portals without timeout errors.
Optimize MLS listing photos
Export property photos from your editing software at MLS-recommended dimensions (typically 2048 px wide). Compress with our Image Compressor at quality 85 to preserve room detail and curb appeal. For strict KB caps, use target-size mode. Process each room photo consistently for uniform gallery quality. Keep full-resolution originals for print marketing materials.
