About image requirements

Images play a key role in how listings appear on realestate.com.au. Using the correct dimensions, formats and file sizes ensures your listings display properly and maintain a professional appearance.

Following these guidelines helps prevent upload errors, improves performance, and ensures images are optimised for both search results and detailed listing views.

Recommended image sizes and ratios

For best results, use images with a resolution of 2000 × 1500 pixels in a standard 4:3 ratio.

• Supported ratios:
  • 4:3 (recommended)
  • 3:4
  • 16:9
  • 3:1
  • 16:10

• Maximum file size: 20MB
• Maximum total resolution: 50MP via third-party listing uploader

These requirements also apply to floorplans.

Accepted formats and specifications

Ensure your images meet the following format requirements:

• Accepted formats: JPEG, PNG, static GIF
• Recommended resolution: 72 DPI
• Colour format: RGB only because CMYK is not supported

• Use static GIF for floorplans on a white background
• Avoid using transparent backgrounds for GIF files

How images are displayed

To view how your listing images appear on realestate.com.au:

• Search for your listing in the Agent Admin
• Select the Images and Copy tab
• Scroll to Property Images
• Hover over the main image and click View

Common upload issues

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