Which board is this?
None. It is a baseline. Your MLS rules win when they conflict.

Boards do not share one rulebook. This checker uses a common baseline: 1024×768, 3:2 or 4:3, under 10 MB, landscape. Read your board’s sheet before you upload.
A baseline, not your board’s compliance PDF.

Baseline used here: 1024×768, 3:2 or 4:3, under 10 MB. Your board can be stricter. Disclose virtual staging.
Big enough, landscape, and honest
Caps on photo count change by MLS. The things that get a photo removed are more consistent: tiny files, portraits, and undisclosed alterations.
1024 × 768 minimum
A common floor. Some boards want more. None want less and call it sharp.
3:2 or 4:3
Landscape. A 16:9 crop can fail a board that only lists 4:3.
Say when you staged it
Virtual furniture and sky replacements need a disclosure on most boards.
Prompts that do not restage the house
Camera motion is not virtual staging. Adding a sofa is.
Straight push
No new furniture, no new sky.
Best for any compliant still
Hold with light only
For a tight room that cannot take a move.
Best for baths and halls
Check, then read the board cap
Run the files
Size, ratio, and weight against the baseline.
Check the count
Your MLS may cap photos at 25, 36, or something else. This page cannot know which.
Label alterations
If a model added a couch, disclose it. A push-in of the real room does not add a couch.
What compliance flags
Agents lose photos for edits that felt harmless.
A new sofa
Virtual staging without a label is a misrepresentation.
The fix: Disclose it in the photo caption and the remarks, per your board.
Sky and grass replacements
Swapping the view is an alteration, not a filter.
The fix: Keep the view that was shot, or disclose the change.
People left in frame
Some boards ban people in primary photos.
The fix: Reshoot empty. Do not ask a model to erase a person and invent the floor.
Collage and arrows
Graphics belong in the flyer, not the MLS photo slot.
The fix: One photograph per file.
Frequently asked questions
Does a camera move count as staging?
Not if the room is unchanged. Adding objects does.
What is the file cap?
This checker uses 10 MB. Your board may be lower.
Pass the baseline, then read your board
Size is the part a browser can check. The photo cap and the disclosure line are in your MLS docs.
