Cars.com photo requirements (US)

Specs change. Marketplaces update photo requirements without much notice. Treat the table below as a reference, not a live source of truth — always verify current requirements with Cars.com directly before you build a pipeline or QA process around them.

Cars.com photo specs at a glance

Good to know

Cars.com supports the largest gallery of the major platforms (up to 100 photos); listings with fewer than 10 photos see less engagement.

Sources

Figures above are cited below and marked official (the marketplace's own docs/help center) or reported (a third-party guide describing the marketplace's specs). Where a figure is only reported, treat it as a well-sourced estimate rather than a guarantee.

One master set, every marketplace's spec

Rather than re-editing per platform, process each vehicle once into a clean, high-resolution master gallery, then export the size, crop, and format each marketplace needs. AutoStudio produces consistent, listing-ready images with automatic plate/face blur, so meeting Cars.com's requirements becomes an export setting rather than a reshoot. See the API, check pricing, or read the full car listing photo requirements guide covering every major marketplace.
