Batch uploads are possible, but the maximum limit for the batch must be 10MB or less in size.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-find-the-image-upload-page\"><\/span>How to find the image upload page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as you create (and save) your listing you get an email from Swappa. That email contains a link to your listing, and you can use that link to quickly to get where you need to be to upload your listing images. On your listing, just look for the blue \u201cUpload Photos\u201d button located towards the top.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/upload-photos-button.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"775\" height=\"189\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/upload-photos-button.png\" alt=\"Swappa Listing Page Buttons\" class=\"wp-image-26788 img-responsive\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Swappa Listing Page Buttons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-upload-listing-photos\"><\/span>How to upload listing photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Provided you keep the image requirements in mind, uploading images should be quick and easy.

But if there is an issue it is most often due to one of the following two things: The image is too big, or the image is in an incorrect file format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re having trouble, the first step is to make sure the image is a PNG, JPG, or HEIC file format and that is 5MB or smaller.
