I wanted to take a second

by showcasing these two images

and talking about image size

and what's the proper image size

for stock photography sites

let's be clear stock photography

sites are gonna give you the absolute

minimum of what you should upload

and my recommendation is you shouldn't really go

anything lower than 4,000 pixels

on either side of the image

the reason why I say that is because

at the end of the day we're competing with competitors

and we want the best quality for images

and if we go on Adobe Stock

there are some images with over 10000+ pixels

let's go ahead and click on this as an example

this image is 7,616 pixels

let's click on another one

this image is 4,003 68

this image is an EPS okay

let's click on this one alright

this image is 8,688

just clicking on random images that you've already seen

you seen one with 8,000 you seen one with 7,000

you seen one with 5,000

my point is that you'll fit right in at the low end

if you add images that are about 4,900 pixels

4,000 I really wouldn't go anything lower than 4,000

you might get photos that are accepted

that are lower than 4,000

but I can't recommend that in good conscience

because like I said

my goal is to have you create as many images possible

and get them approved and accepted

and part of the approval process is the quality of

that image and it's pretty impressive

when the image is really large and high quality

it's something that cannot be denied

and so therefore my recommendation to you is

nothing lower than 4,000 pixels on

either side of an image no matter if it's horizontal

no matter if it's a vertical okay

so if you're uploading a vertical image

that means it looks like an iPhone

if the image is longer in height than it is in width

I would not go anything lower than 4,000 in the width

if the width is smaller than the height okay

so nothing lower than 4,000 pixels

on either side of the image

anything lower than that you're just

you know you're really pushing it

I'm not saying that they won't accept you

but it's just not something that I could recommend

to my students because I wanna make sure my students

have the greatest chance of success
