RequirementValue
Maximum number of photos10 photos per listing
Maximum size per photo10 MB

Photos must be of the property being advertised, and you must let each photo finish checking before moving to the next step.

Steps to upload photos

  1. 1
    Press Services, then Add your listing.
  2. 2
    Enter your advertising licence number and press Next once it is verified.
  3. 3
    Go to the property photos step.
  4. 4
    Press Add photos and choose files from your device.
  5. 5
    Each photo appears as a card showing its check status.
  6. 6
    Wait until every photo has finished checking.
  7. 7
    Remove any rejected photo, or retry if the failure was temporary.
  8. 8
    Continue to the next step once the requirements are met.

You can also create a land parcel image from the interactive map and add it to your listing photos.

What happens while a photo is checked?

Every photo is checked automatically before it joins the listing. The check looks for:

  • Is this an actual property photograph?
  • Does it contain an advertising design or promotional frame?
  • Does it carry an office or platform logo?
  • Does it carry a watermark?
  • Does it contain a QR code, barcode or social-media handle?
  • Does it show a phone number, email address or website link?
  • Does it have added promotional text?
  • Is it a screenshot?
  • Is the quality or size too low?

Photo states in the interface

  • While checking — the photo card shows an animation, and Next reads “Checking…” until every photo is checked.
  • Approved — the photo shows with no mark and counts among your listing photos.
  • Rejected — a red outline with the reason and a delete button; it will not be added.
  • Could not be checked — an amber outline with the reason, and Retry when possible.

Next stays disabled while any photo is being checked, or while a rejected or failed photo has not been deleted or replaced.

The key difference: a rejection about the content of the photo is final for that photo, and you must replace it. A could not be checked or could not be confirmed result is temporary, and retrying may succeed.

AI-generated photos

  • The system detects photos that were generated or edited with AI.
  • Being AI-generated is not by itself a rejection. If the photo breaks no other rule it can still be accepted.
  • An accepted photo of this kind carries a "Made with AI" badge wherever the site displays it.
  • If the photo breaks another rule (logo, watermark, promotional text and so on) it is rejected for that reason, not for being generated.

The built-in photo editor

Once a photo is approved you can open it in Raghdan's built-in editor and use the tools that are actually available:

  • Crop, with rotate and flip
  • Finetune — brightness, contrast, saturation
  • Filters
  • Annotate — arrows, lines, freehand drawing and shapes
  • Redact — blur for privacy
  • Resize
  • Frames

A free text tool is deliberately not available, because it could be used to add contact numbers or links onto a photo that was already approved.

A photo that was approved and then edited inside Raghdan's editor is not treated as a new image, and it is not rejected because of the arrows or marks you added there yourself.

This exception applies only to the built-in editor. If you edit the photo in an external program and upload it as a new file, it goes through the full check again.

Land parcel images from the Raghdan map

  • An image created with the "Create parcel image" feature on the Raghdan map can be uploaded among your listing photos.
  • The system automatically verifies that the image was created from the Raghdan map and accepts it.
  • A screenshot of an external map or any other site does not receive this exception and may be rejected.
  • The correct route: download the image to your device, then add it with the Add photos button while creating your listing.
  • If you edit the parcel image in an external program it may lose this status and be checked normally.

Rejected photos

  • A rejected photo is not counted among your listing photos.
  • Remove it from the grid before continuing.
  • If the cause was temporary, use Retry.
  • If the cause relates to the content, choose another photo or use the original source without additions.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the Next button still disabled?

Usually because a photo is still being checked, or a rejected photo has not been removed yet.

Why was a clear photo rejected?

Clarity is not the only criterion. It may carry a logo, watermark, text or contact number, or be an advertising design rather than a photograph.

Are AI photos banned?

No. They are detected and may be accepted with a badge, unless they break another rule.

Can I use a land parcel image from the Raghdan map?

Yes. Download it, then add it among your listing photos.

Why was a screenshot from another map rejected?

Screenshots and external maps are not property photos; the exception covers original Raghdan map images only.

Is a photo re-checked after editing?

Editing inside the Raghdan editor does not trigger a new check. Uploading a new file does.

Why did I see "could not be checked right now"?

A temporary problem unrelated to your photo. Press Retry.

How many photos can I upload?

Up to 10 photos per listing.

Which formats and sizes are allowed?

JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC, up to 10 MB each, with a minimum of 320 px on the shortest side.
