Choose a neutral outdoor background. Use natural, even daylight.
Make sure the car is clean, dry, and vacuumed.
Set your device to a 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio. Ensure the photo resolution is at least 2400×1600 px.
Hold your smartphone horizontally.
Avoid tight, cluttered, or messy locations.
Avoid reflections, uneven shadows, and inconsistent lighting.
Remove personal items such as seat covers or cables.
Do not use 16:9 (widescreen) or 3:3 (square) aspect ratios.
Avoid editing or covering your license plates; it’s better to remove them if possible.
Take photos in an open outdoor area with no vehicles, graffiti, stains, or puddles in the background. A park or natural backdrop is ideal.
Avoid uneven or variable lighting.
Your vehicle must be clean and dry, and photos should be taken in natural, even light.
Exterior
Cover as many exterior angles as possible and make sure to capture a standout photo that can be the main image of your listing. Typically, this is a 3/4 front-angle view of the car.
interior
Show potential buyers all the seats and any relevant dashboard features. Be sure to include the steering wheel and any signs of wear or marks.
Mechanics
This is your chance to showcase the engine and any other mechanically relevant parts of the car. This can include photos of the underside of the vehicle, the exhaust system, under the trunk mats, suspension components, etc
Documents
Service history and documentation are crucial for potential buyers. Make sure to show that your car has all the necessary papers so buyers feel confident in their interest. Remember to hide any personal information, such as your name, address, and contact details, if you don’t want them to be made public.
Video
Our team encourages you to submit any video that can be added to your listing. This could include a recording of the car starting, as well as a walk-around of the vehicle to show its condition and paint in more detail.
