The ideal image size depends on which website template you are using and the portals you are sending it to.
For this article, we are focused on images for listings.
Some high-resolution images are too big to load and send to portals, this will result in an error when uploading the image or the images not appearing on the portal.
As a good rule of thumb is a resolution of 2000 x 1500 pixels or higher, in a standard 4:3 ratio. This will ensure your images appear crisp and clear.
REA has their own standards for images and formatting.
