About image requirements

Images are a key part of how commercial listings are presented on realcommercial.com.au. Using the correct image sizes, ratios, and formats ensures listings display consistently and professionally.

Following these guidelines helps maintain image quality, improves presentation in search results, and reduces the risk of upload errors or formatting issues.

• Accepted dimensions:
  • 3:2 – 2000 × 1334 px
  • 16:9 – 2000 × 1125 px
  • 3:1 – 2000 × 667 px
  • 3:4 – 1500 × 2000 px (portrait)
• Maximum file size: 20MB via third-party uploader

These requirements also apply to floorplans.

Accepted formats and specifications

Ensure your images meet the following requirements:

• Accepted formats: JPEG, PNG, static GIF
• Recommended quality: 72 DPI
• Colour mode: RGB only (CMYK is not supported)
• Use static GIF for floorplans with a white background
• Avoid transparent backgrounds for GIF files

How images are displayed

Images are cropped on the search results page to ensure consistency and optimal presentation.

• Full image resolution is shown when viewing the listing
• Search results use cropping for layout consistency

Common upload issues

Images added directly in Agent Admin may fail to upload if they are too large.

• Images larger than 2.5MB may result in a timeout error

If this occurs, reduce the image file size before uploading.
