Why Your Zillow Photos Get Rejected

Zillow's system automatically checks every uploaded photo against their requirements. Common rejection reasons include:

  • Photos taken in portrait (vertical) orientation instead of landscape
  • iPhone HEIC files that Zillow cannot process
  • High-resolution camera photos exceeding the 5MB file size limit
  • Photos with dimensions smaller than the 1024x768 minimum

Zillow Photo Best Practices

  • Use landscape orientation for all listing photos
  • Lead with your best exterior shot as the primary photo
  • Include photos of every room and major feature
  • Strip GPS/EXIF data to protect seller privacy
  • Use SEO-friendly file names (e.g., 123-Main-St-Living-Room.jpg)
  • Upload the maximum number of photos to increase engagement and view time
