About this tool
MLS photo rejections are rarely about “taste.” Boards bounce sets for color space (not sRGB), pixel dimensions outside the allowed band, multi‑megabyte heroes that choke the portal, GPS still embedded from the camera, or filenames that break board import rules. MLS Ready is a preflight checklist built for that reality — not a generic resizer.
Drop up to 30 photos from a shoot. The tool scans each file for size, color profile, GPS presence, and naming patterns, then surfaces what would fail a typical board upload. You fix or accept the report before the agent’s deadline becomes a support ticket.
When the folder is clean, export four delivery packs in one pass: MLS (board-safe), HiRes (broker marketing), Email (lightweight proofs), and Social (vertical-friendly). That single export step replaces the usual cycle of “export, fail, re-export, rename, strip GPS, try again.”
Workflow tip: convert RAW or HEIC first, cull soft or blown frames, run perspective or AI polish if needed, then finish here. After converting phone or camera files, run MLS Ready to preflight the folder before portal upload. Pair with Batch Rename if your board wants address-prefixed sequences (123-Main-St_001.jpg).
This page targets the search intent “MLS photo requirements checker” because that is exactly the job: verify requirements, then produce compliant deliverables. Always double-check your local board’s current PDF — rules drift — but the common failure modes above cover most GTA and North American residential portals.
FAQ
- Which MLS boards are supported?
- Checks cover common board constraints (dimensions, sRGB, GPS, naming patterns) used across many North American residential MLSs. Always confirm your board’s current published photo rules — they change.
- What packs are exported?
- Four folders: MLS (portal-safe), HiRes (print/marketing), Email (small proofs), and Social (share-ready). Sized for typical delivery channels so you do not re-export from Lightroom for each use.
- Does this guarantee my listing will be accepted?
- No tool can guarantee every board’s proprietary importer. MLS Ready catches the failures that cause most rejections. Final acceptance still depends on your association’s current rules and portal quirks.
- Should I strip GPS for MLS?
- Many boards prefer no GPS in listing media for privacy. This preflight flags GPS so you can strip it (see EXIF Metadata Viewer) before upload.
- What should I do after preflight?
- Export packs, upload the MLS folder to your portal, and keep HiRes for the agent website. If you still need perspective, exposure, HDR, or twilight polish, send the set through the FOCAL RAYS editor first, then re-run MLS Ready.
