CRMLS photo requirements

What CRMLS publishes

The pages we quote give no limit for smallest size.

These are the Flexmls limits. CRMLS also offers Matrix and Paragon. Their articles, both updated 15 April 2025, say “You can add up to 75 photos to your listing.” and give no file limits: https://kb.crmls.org/knowledgebase/adding-photos-to-a-listing-in-matrix/ and https://kb.crmls.org/knowledgebase/paragon-how-to-add-photos-to-a-listing/

California’s AB 723 also applies to every ad that uses an altered photo, not only the MLS listing. The AB 723 guide quotes the statute and the disclosure generator writes the wording for each place you publish.
