Photos that get booked — a quick guide

The first photo is everything

The first photo is what renters see in search results. Make it:

• Clear — focus on the whole item, not a detail.
• Clean — no clutter in the background.
• Daylight — natural light, not flash.

What else

• Scale — place a familiar object next to it (key, bottle) for size context.
• Detail — seams, cables, batteries — show that it works.
• Existing wear — being honest about scratches prevents post-rental disputes.
• Contents — for tents/cases: show what's included.

Composition

• Straight — no tilted photos.
• Fill the frame — item should take at least 60%.
• Multiple angles — front, side, top.

Editing

Light correction is fine. Don't Photoshop to hide defects — we detect it, and buyers spot it too.

Counts

• Min 3, ideal 5–6, max 8.
• JPG or PNG, max 5 MB each.
