Airbnb Photo Size Checker
TL;DR: Airbnb requires at least 1024×683px in a 3:2 landscape ratio, JPEG preferred, under 30MB. Upload a photo below to check it against those exact numbers.
Airbnb compresses and resizes photos automatically on upload, so a photo that's borderline on resolution can come out looking softer than it did on your phone. Checking against the real minimum before you upload avoids finding that out after the listing is already live.

FAQ
What is Airbnb's minimum photo size?
1024×683 pixels, in a 3:2 landscape aspect ratio. Below that, Airbnb will still accept the upload but the photo may look soft or pixelated in the listing gallery.
What file format does Airbnb want?
JPEG, PNG, or BMP are all accepted, but JPEG is preferred for compatibility and file size. Keep each photo under Airbnb's 30MB per-photo cap.
Does this check my photo's quality, not just its size?
No — this only checks pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, format, and file size against Airbnb's published requirements. It doesn't evaluate lighting, noise, or sharpness. For that, use the enhancement tool separately.
