File size
The maximum file size is 20MB. Most phone photos are well under this. If your file is larger, compress it slightly before uploading — the AI doesn't require maximum resolution, and very large files slow processing without improving the result.
Taking the photo yourself
Studio photos you take yourself work well. A few things that make a difference:
- Shoot in daylight or good artificial light. Poor light means the AI has less detail to work from.
- Get the whole car in frame. Partial shots — where the bonnet or boot is cut off — reduce the quality of the result.
- Try a front three-quarter angle. This is the most common listing angle and Studio is optimised for it.
