Rightmove image requirements
Rightmove expects listing photographs as JPG files in sRGB colour space. The longest edge should not exceed 1600 pixels.
Files larger than this may be rejected or reprocessed by the portal, which can soften detail or shift colours unpredictably. Portrait and landscape orientations are both accepted.
A standard sale listing carries fifteen to twenty five photos. Prepare the whole set to the same spec before opening the CRM upload panel.
Floorplan and EPC slots in your CRM use different rules from room photography. Keep those assets in separate folders so resize pipelines do not touch them.
Garden and aerial shots follow the same 1600px longest edge rule as interiors. Do not assume landscape externals need different portal dimensions.
- Format: JPG (JPEG)
- Colour space: sRGB
- Maximum dimension: 1600px on the longest side
- Orientation: Portrait and landscape both accepted
Why oversized uploads cause problems
Photographers routinely deliver 4000px or larger exports. Uploading those directly wastes time on slow transfers and relies on Rightmove's server-side processing.
Preparing files to spec gives you control over sharpness and colour before the listing goes live. Vendors notice when hero shots look soft compared to competing instructions on the same street.
Remote branches on slower internet connections feel upload pain most acutely. A twenty image set prepared to 1600px compressed JPG uploads in minutes rather than stalling the browser.
Competing instructions on the same road highlight soft hero shots immediately. Vendors compare their listing to the neighbour's; sharp 1600px files hold up on large screens.
Multiple branch staff uploading simultaneously can saturate office bandwidth. Right-sized files reduce queue time for everyone on the same connection.
Prepare a batch to Rightmove specs
Stampi includes a dedicated Rightmove export profile: JPG at 1600px longest edge with sensible compression. Add your agency logo, process twenty images, and download a ZIP ready to drag into the Rightmove upload panel.
Combine resize, compress, format conversion, and logo branding in one pass. Convert HEIC iPhone shots in the same batch if the instruction includes phone photos.
Most agents upload identical photo sets to Rightmove and Zoopla. Preparing once to 1600px sRGB JPG saves duplicating work.
Branch managers auditing live listings can spot inconsistent sizing faster than negotiators expect. Uniform 1600px exports look deliberate rather than accidental.
Training new negotiators on the Rightmove profile name in Stampi prevents ad hoc exports at wrong sizes. Write the profile name on the office wall next to the logo folder path.
Typical workflow from photographer to live listing
Download the photographer Dropbox folder with 4000px JPEGs. Run through Stampi with your branch logo and the Rightmove profile. Upload the resulting ZIP contents through your CRM or directly to Rightmove.
Add floorplan and EPC separately as you normally would. Keep architectural PDFs out of the photo resize pipeline.
Friday afternoon is when upload queues hurt most. Batch prep means the listing goes live before the vendor calls for the link.
Vendor approval before go-live sometimes means a proof pass at lower opacity first. Run finals at brand opacity once signed off, still at 1600px sRGB JPG.
Exchange and chain transactions sometimes need same-day photo updates after a surveyor visit. Batch re-export at 1600px keeps pace with short notice vendor requests.
When Rightmove processing still looks off
Compare a Stampi export side by side with the live portal image after syndication. Sometimes the CRM, not Rightmove, is recompressing again.
If a file still fails upload, check the original for unusual colour profiles or corrupt metadata. Keep one known-good file from a previous successful upload to compare if support asks questions.
Aggressive compression before upload can look worse than a moderately sized file. Use the preview slider on kitchen and garden shots before processing the full batch.
HDR interiors with heavy tone mapping can look flat after portal reprocessing. Moderate edit strength before export often displays better than extreme local contrast.
Highly saturated edit styles can clip on some displays after syndication. Moderate vibrance in Lightroom often survives portal display better.
Honest limits
Correct dimensions will not rescue a blurry kitchen or fix blown highlights. Fix exposure and framing before batch export.
Portal specifications can change. Check Rightmove's current published guidance if you have not uploaded in a while. Stampi's profile aligns with published requirements at time of writing.
Video specs differ from still images. This guide covers photography for standard listing uploads.
Rightmove display also depends on buyer device and connection speed. You control file prep; youcannot control every viewer's screen.
Portal apps update independently of your CRM. What you see in preview on Rightmove's own app may differ slightly from desktop.
Frequently asked questions
Is 1600px wide enough for Rightmove display?
Yes. Rightmove specifies 1600px on the longest edge as the maximum recommended dimension. Display on the portal and in apps is optimised for that range. Uploading larger files does not improve what buyers see and may trigger server-side reprocessing.
Can I upload PNG files to Rightmove?
Rightmove expects JPG for listing photographs. Export PNG logos separately for overlay in Stampi; the final listing photos should be sRGB JPG at 1600px. Floorplans and EPC graphics may use different formats in their dedicated CRM slots.
How many photos should a Rightmove listing include?
Most sale listings carry fifteen to twenty five photos covering frontage, reception, kitchen, bedrooms, garden, and sometimes a floorplan. Quality and coverage matter more than hitting an exact count. Prepare every usable shot to the same 1600px JPG spec so the gallery looks consistent.
Is Stampi free to use?
Yes. Stampi is free with no subscription, no credit card, and no trial that expires. Open the app, upload your files, and download the results. We built it that way on purpose because photo prep is annoying enough without a paywall in the middle.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Stampi runs in your browser with no sign-up. Images are processed locally on your device. When you close the tab or download your ZIP, the session is gone. We do not store your files on a server.
How do I get started?
Go to stampi.cc, upload your photos (or click Try with samples to load demo files), add your logo, pick your export formats, and hit Prepare Media. A ZIP downloads in seconds. That is the whole workflow.
