Questions
What size should Expedia / Hotels.com photos be?
A long edge of at least 1000 pixels, landscape — anything smaller is rejected. Expedia recommends 20 or more photos.
How many photos does Expedia / Hotels.com need?
20 or more recommended; at least 4 per room type including the bathroom.
Can I use edited or AI photos on Expedia / Hotels.com?
Expedia’s photo guidelines advise against filters and retouching in editing apps. Keep edits to exposure and straightening.
Should I upscale a small photo to meet the Expedia / Hotels.com minimum?
No. Enlarging adds pixels, not detail, and the photo looks soft. Our tools never upscale: a photo below 1000 long edge is skipped for this size with the reason, so you can retake it.
