Photos are the first impression of your space on SpacePal, so they need to be perfect! Here are some tips and requirements to make sure your photos leave everyone in awe.

Basic requirements

  • Photos in JPG or PNG format

  • Minimum resolution of 1080 x 720 pixels

  • Maximum size of 10MB per photo

  • Horizontal orientation (vertical ones don’t look as good 😞)

  • At least 5 photos, but the more, the better!

Tips for photos that sell:

  • Use a High-Quality Camera or Phone: Make sure your photos are sharp and clear.

  • Shoot During the Day: Take advantage of natural light. It looks much better than artificial lighting!

  • Keep Your Space Neat and Tidy: Make sure it’s clean and free of distractions.

  • Include Wide Shots and Important Details: Show the full space and highlight key features.

  • Show Special Amenities or Equipment: If your space has unique features, make sure to focus on them.

  • Include Layouts and Seating Arrangements: Give a clear idea of how the space is organized.

  • Avoid Photos with People or Pets: Unless it’s absolutely necessary to show the use of the space.

  • Invest in Professional Photography: It can be one of the best investments to make your space stand out.

👉 The cover photo is super important: It’s the first thing users will see. It should be well-lit and represent your space as best as possible.


Why is editing photos important?

Editing your photos gives your listing a professional touch, highlights the unique features of your space, and enhances lighting and colors. All of this increases the chances of users clicking and booking. 📈


How to edit your photos?

You don’t need to be an expert to give your photos a pro touch. There are several free and easy-to-use apps, such as:

  • Snapseed (available for iOS and Android)

  • VSCO (available for iOS and Android)

  • Canva (web version and app for iOS and Android)

  • Adobe Lightroom (web version and app for iOS and Android)

With these apps, you can adjust brightness, contrast, colors, and sharpness, and even apply some filters. But remember, the key is to be subtle with edits to keep your space looking authentic!

With these tips and requirements, you’ll have the best photos on SpacePal!
