Resolution & file formats

What resolution Motuva images are, which format they download in, and whether they meet marketplace standards.

Output format

Motuva images download as JPG files, or as PNG if you choose it under Account > Preferences. JPG is the format all major UK automotive listing platforms use, and it works with standard dealer stock management systems.

Output resolution

Motuva produces images at high resolution, suitable for full-size listing display on automotive platforms. Each finished image is the same size as the photo you uploaded, up to 4,096 pixels on its longest side. That's the same on every plan — there's no reduced-resolution output on Free.

Do I need to resize before uploading to my listing platform?

In most cases, no. Motuva images are ready to upload directly. If your listing platform has a maximum file size, you can compress the image slightly before uploading without meaningful quality loss — automotive platforms display images at significantly lower resolution than the source file requires.

Are images suitable for print?

Motuva images are produced for digital listing use. They're suitable for web display, marketplace listings, social media and standard marketing digital formats. For large-format print (e.g. forecourt banners), the output may not meet minimum DPI requirements — check your printer's specifications.

What format are uploaded source photos accepted in?

You can upload source photos as JPEG, PNG, HEIC or WebP. Large photos are compressed to fit for you. See Upload a car photo.

Same quality on every plan

The output resolution and quality is identical across Free, Pro and Ultra. There's no "full quality" mode hidden behind a paywall — what you see on Free is the same quality as Ultra.
