Zoopla Photo Size Guide: Dimensions and Upload Prep

Zoopla sits alongside Rightmove for most UK agents. The photo requirements are similar even when the exact wording on Zoopla's help pages differs. Here is a practical reference you can skim before uploading a new instruction. Preparing once to 1600px sRGB JPG with your logo applied saves duplicating work across both portals.

Zoopla photo requirements

Zoopla accepts JPG photographs for property listings. Like Rightmove, oversized files cause slow uploads and may display with reduced sharpness after server-side processing.

Aim for a maximum of 1600 pixels on the longest edge unless Zoopla's published guidance specifies otherwise. sRGB colour space is recommended for predictable display across devices.

Keep files lean with sensible compression so uploads finish reliably on branch internet connections.

Rental listings on Zoopla benefit from the same crisp kitchen and bathroom shots as sales stock. Tenants compare thumbnails as quickly as buyers do.

Commercial listings syndicated to Zoopla through residential CRM feeds still need standard JPG room shots. Do not assume different rules apply without checking current guidance.

  • Format: JPG (JPEG)
  • Colour space: sRGB recommended
  • Maximum dimension: 1600px on the longest side (aligned with Rightmove practice)
  • File size: Keep files lean with sensible compression

Preparing the same batch for both portals

Most agents upload identical photo sets to Rightmove and Zoopla. Preparing once to 1600px sRGB JPG with your logo applied saves duplicating work.

Stampi uses the same resize and compress workflow agents already rely on for Rightmove. One ZIP contents folder can feed both upload panels.

Letting stock turns over faster; the same dual-portal prep applies whether you are marketing a sale or a rental.

Syndication through a CRM usually pushes one photo set to both portals. Prepare once at 1600px sRGB JPG and let the feed distribute.

Portals refresh thumbnails on different schedules after upload. Sharp source files at 1600px look better everywhere they syndicate.

Check before you upload

Portal specifications can change. If Zoopla's published requirements differ from Rightmove ona specific point, follow Zoopla's current guidance.

Stampi's preview slider lets you verify quality on a sample image before processing the full listing. Kitchen units and garden foliage show compression artefacts first.

Compare a Stampi export with the live Zoopla image after syndication if display looks off. Sometimes the CRM recompresses again after ingest.

Quarterly franchise audits sometimes sample live Zoopla galleries alongside Rightmove. Consistent prep across both avoids awkward compliance conversations.

Bank holiday weekends see heavy tenant and buyer browsing on mobile. Lean compressed JPGs load faster on 4G searches.

Typical listing prep workflow

Download the photographer folder or collect phone shots and professional images into one batch. Convert HEIC iPhone files, resize to 1600px, compress, and apply your branch logo in Stampi.

A standard listing carries fifteen to twenty five photos for sales, slightly fewer for some lettings. Process the whole set in one pass for consistent thumbnails.

Upload through your CRM or directly to Zoopla depending on how your branch syndicates.

New instructions near school catchment areas often go live with phone shots first and professional photos added later. Convert, resize, and brand the initial set so marketing is not delayed.

Auction listings with short marketing windows need same-day prep from mixed sources. Convert HEIC, resize, compress, and brand before the legal pack circulates.

Branding and compliance

Energy performance and photo dimensions are unrelated but both show up in listing audits. Keep EPC graphics in their dedicated CRM slot rather than mixing them into the photo resize pipeline.

Franchise branches should lock logo position, opacity, and export profile so every negotiator produces identical output. PNG logos with transparent backgrounds work best over skies and interior walls.

When agency branding refreshes, update the master logo once and re-run recent listings if compliance requires it.

Opacity that looked fine on winter interiors may read too faint on bright June garden shots. Re-check on seasonal externals even if branch settings stayed unchanged.

Sub-brand logos for commercial divisions should still export at identical dimensions to residential stock. Portal specs do not change because the instruction is offices rather than flats.

Honest limits

Correct dimensions will not fix blur, poor white balance, or lens distortion. Those belong in the edit or at capture.

Aggressive compression can soften fine brick detail on exterior shots. Preview before processing twenty files.

Video requirements differ from still photography. Browser batch prep targets listing photos for portal upload.

Zoopla's published guidance should win if it ever diverges from Rightmove on a specific technical point. Bookmark their help pages and skim before major portal updates.

International buyers viewing from abroad still depend on fast-loading galleries. Compression and resize are courtesy as much as compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Are Zoopla and Rightmove photo specs identical?

They are closely aligned in practice: JPG, sRGB, and roughly 1600px on the longest edge. Exact published wording may differ. Preparing one batch to those specs works for both portals in most UK branch workflows. Check Zoopla's current guidance if you have not uploaded in several months.

Can I upload the same ZIP to Zoopla and Rightmove?

Yes, if every file in the folder meets both portals' requirements.Stampi's Rightmove profile outputs JPG at 1600px sRGB, which Zoopla accepts in standard branch workflows. Upload the same prepared files through your CRM syndication or to each portal separately.

What if Zoopla rejects a file after upload?

Check the original for unusual colour profiles or corrupt metadata. Compare with a known-good file from a previous successful upload. If display looks soft after syndication, the CRM may be recompressing again rather than Zoopla rejecting the file. Keep Stampi exports as your reference copy when support asks questions.

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.
