Zillow Photo Size Checker
TL;DR: Zillow accepts photos as small as 330×220px but recommends 1536×1152px for a sharp result. Upload a photo below to check it against both numbers.
Zillow has the widest gap of any major platform between what it technically accepts and what it actually recommends — a photo can clear the minimum by a wide margin and still look soft on the buyers who matter most, the ones browsing on a retina laptop or phone.

FAQ
What's the absolute minimum photo size Zillow accepts?
330×220 pixels — but Zillow will display it, not display it well. Anything near that floor looks noticeably soft on a retina laptop or phone screen.
What resolution does Zillow actually recommend?
1536×1152px, with an aspect ratio of 3:2 or 4:3. Zillow's hero carousel can display images up to 6144px on the long edge on retina/4K-capable devices, so higher-resolution source photos have real upside.
Does this apply to MLS photos in general, or just Zillow specifically?
This checks Zillow's own published numbers. Many MLS systems set similar or identical minimums since Zillow syndicates from MLS feeds, but always confirm with your specific MLS board if you're uploading there directly.
