If you hear "just" upload this size, they don't know. You can call the office of the MLS that you are interested in getting photo specs from, but it's rare that you wind up talking with somebody that knows what they are. A listing is at the top of this page, "MLS-directory". It's also sort of pointless to spend the time and effort to make good photos only to leave a critical step to a customer that doesn't know what they are There are a bunch of different MLS's in Florida. Real estate agents are rarely very good at image processing so I hate to leave it up to them. I have potential new customers sometimes ask for current listings to see how my images look so it's good to have the best image quality online. I guess the good thing is that you can post as many images as you like. It turns out the GAVAR MLS is 767pixels wide so it's no wonder they look bad and images that syndicate from there look bad too. I sat down with one of my customers and we uploaded a a file we knew was bigger than the displayed size and looked at what was posted on the MLS along with a sampling of images posted by others. They will nearly always just tell you upload a file "no bigger than" something. It's very difficult to find a MLS tech support person that can tell you what the maximum display size it. dpi doesn't mean anything, it's the pixel dimensions that count. Agents can just upload the images from the appropriate folder without having to change file sizes themselves for the best quality images on each listing site. It's easy to do with a LR preset and adds value to my services.
#Adobe dimension house image file archive#
One each for the local MLS, Trulia, Zillow and Realtor plus a separate archive of 3,000px (long side) images for printing.

Sometimes people want square, sometimes 16:9, most still want 4:3 and that is what I send most. I am happy to get what works best when we talk through the shoot beforehand. Unlike Frank, I am not that freeform, sounds fun. DBrown123 plugin is not supported ongoing, so when it stops working, I will probably switch to send just the print size. DBrown123 is the same as Image Processor in Photoshop, but, does up to three outputs at one time. DBrown will resize, apply whatever actions I need, rename each image and drop them into proper folders. I use Dr Brown 123 to package images for shipping and run it once on verticals, and once on horizontals. I send the same as our MLS wants then also Print size at 2700 pixel long edge and Web size at 1024 long edge I make the verticals come out with the same height as the horizontals, in terms of pixels, so the MLS show displays do NOT have the vertical of the smallest bathroom at twice the height of the gorgeous horizontal kitchen, etc. I deliver two sizes to all, three sizes to some. While that size is overkill, when you naturally have that size, why take up additional hard drive space with a third group in the 3000px range.
#Adobe dimension house image file full size#
My full size (typically 7821X5217px 4.8MB if not cropped in composition processing) flat out won't upload to MLS for them to downsize. While pixel is preferred measurement, size may matter as well as it combines with pixel dimensions.

I deliver 2 sizes - 1500px (MLS and Web) and full size (suggest for brochures/printing) and label the file name on Lightroom export "address" or "address-1500px" to tell the difference with the sequential number remains the same between the two. It also shows those Realtors not up with the times as they post postage stamps on current listings. My MLS had evolved over the years from 600, the 800 and now 1500 and those on the older standard when looking at historical listings show as postage stamps. Ask them - which would apply to all clients on same MLS - otherwise you have to call MLS to ask. Typically, when they upload a photo to MLS it states the recommended size, usually in both pixels and MB. May be able to avoid a call to MLS as many times the Realtor or their assistant may know.
