Common Problems & Solutions

Phone photos look too dark

Use our Photo Enhancer to improve exposure and shadows. Works well for interior shots.

How to: Upload to Photo Enhancer, let AI auto-correct exposure, then upscale if needed.

Wide-angle lens distortion

Distortion correction should be done before upscaling. Most editing apps have lens correction.

How to: Apply lens correction in Lightroom/Photos app first, then upscale the corrected image.

Images from older phone are too small

Upscale 2x for 2-3 year old phones, 3-4x for older phones to meet current standards.

How to: A 1080x810px image upscaled 2x becomes 2160x1620px - above Zillow's recommended size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our tool and how it works.

Zillow recommends 2048x1536px minimum. Larger images (up to 50MB) display better on large screens and mobile pinch-to-zoom.
HDR helps with interior shots where windows are bright but rooms are dark. Use natural-looking HDR, not over-processed styles.
25-50 photos is optimal for most properties. Include exterior, all rooms, key features, and neighborhood context.
Yes, but quality depends on the source. iPhone 6 era photos (2-3MP) can upscale reasonably to 4-6MP. Very old photos have limits.
