Finalize-Upload Photos

Upon submission of a new or revised listing, you can upload up to nine photos from your PC to the listing report.

Upload photos in .jpg format, with a maximum resolution of 640 x 480. TorontoMLS proportionally resizes the photo to 454 x 302 pixels. Although not required, for the highest quality, you may want to upload a photo with these specific dimensions.

When you save the photo, the system assigns a filename using the MLS# followed by the filename extension ".jpg" (for example, mk4400.jpg).

Multiple Photos for One Listing

You can upload up to nine photos for a single listing.

When saved, TMLS names the first (primary) photo with the MLS# followed by the filename extension ".jpg". Additional photo filenames are appended with the appropriate position number. For example, for listing MK4400, the system saves the primary photo as mk4400.jpg. The photo for position 2 is named MK4400_2.jpg, and so forth.

If photos are stored for this listing, click Next (directly under the filename, not the Next button at the bottom of the page) to navigate to the next available photo position (that is, if 5 photos currently exist, click Next until you see the blank panel labeled Photo Number: 6).
  3. Click Browse and then locate the photo by filename. When the correct path and filename displays, click Open. The photo displays in the photo viewer.  
  4. At Description, if desired, type text to display (in the listing report) when a user moves the mouse over the photo.
  5. Click Save Photo to save the photo.
  6. If uploading another photo, click Next (directly under the filename, not the Next button at the bottom of the page) to move to the next position. Click Clear to remove description and filename. Then repeat steps 3-5.
  7. After uploading all photos, click Next (at the bottom of the page) to continue to the next option (Virtual Tours);

    Or click on a tab to proceed to any "finalize" option (Virtual Tours, Real Estate News, Print View);

    Or click Finish to complete the listing, then click OK at the confirmation prompt.
