- Maximum file size: 20 MB
- Supported formats: JPEG/JPG, PNG, or GIF
- Desired photo quality: Sharp, well-lit, high-resolution photos
- Photo orientation: Horizontal (landscape) display
Photos with the following characteristics will not be accepted:
- Area maps
- Black and white
- Blank, duplicated, or near duplicates of other photos
- Blurry (hint: avoid taking photos in Portrait Mode, which adds blurriness)
- Close-ups of a plant
- Collages of multiple photos or multiple listings
- Copied from another listing
- Copyrighted material
- Depicts subjects or scenes unrelated to your property or area
- Inappropriateness

Troubleshooting
If you’re having trouble uploading photos to your listing, here are some things you can try:
- Verify that your photos are in the correct format (.jpg, jpeg, png, or gif)
- Verify that the file size doesn’t exceed 20MB
- Verify that the file is at least 1024 x 683 pixels
Note: Any changes to your photos can take up to 10 minutes to display on the guest-facing website (this does not apply to partners who have integrated with software).
Important: You should always have at least 6 photos published for your property at all times. Having less than 6 photos for more than 30 days can result in an indefinite suspension penalty. If you have a multi-unit property, these photos must include the following categories:
- 1 building exterior photo
- 1 interior or lobby photo
- 3 guestroom photos
- 1 bathroom photo
