Chapter 3 – Requirements of Uploads

Before we get into the tips, be sure that you are able to meet the requirements of the websites that allow you to sell your images on their website. If they reject everything you submit you will never sell anything, so first things first - ensure you can meet the requirements.

The exact requirements do vary between stock photography websites. So you will still need to take a look at individual websites, but here are what you should expect to meet:

  • at least 3 megapixels (some ask for 4MP)
  • saved at maximum quality
  • minimum 300 DPI
  • JPEG images
  • RGB color formatting
  • normal aspect ratios
  • no technical imperfections at full size
