Photos & Media
Great photos sell aircraft. This guide covers what to upload, how many photos your plan includes, and how Reflya protects your images.
What to photograph
Section titled “What to photograph”Buyers consistently look for:
- Exterior: all four quarters, plus close-ups of paint condition.
- Interior: seats, headliner, and carpet from multiple angles.
- Panel: a straight-on shot with avionics powered up.
- Logbooks and records: recent entries buyers will ask about anyway.
Shoot in good light, keep the hangar clutter out of frame, and upload the highest resolution you have. Reflya generates the right sizes automatically, and your full photo is always preserved (we never crop your images).
Landscape or portrait?
Section titled “Landscape or portrait?”Shoot landscape. Reflya displays your photos in wide frames: roughly 3:2 in the listing gallery and 4:3 on search results and listing cards. A landscape photo fills those frames edge to edge.
Portrait photos still work, and buyers see the full image when they open it in the gallery. But in card views the frame shows the middle of a tall photo, so a portrait shot of your vertical stabilizer may appear as just the middle section until the buyer clicks in. If you have the choice, turn the camera sideways.
The one place portrait shines is panel and interior detail shots viewed full screen, so do not delete them. Just lead your listing with landscape exterior photos, since your first photo is the one buyers see everywhere.
File formats and size limits
Section titled “File formats and size limits”| Media | Accepted formats | Max size per file |
|---|---|---|
| Photos | JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC/HEIF | 10 MB |
| Video | MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V | 100 MB |
| Documents (spec sheets, logs) | PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, TXT, CSV | 50 MB |
Videos can be up to 10 minutes long, and a listing can carry up to 5 videos (on plans that include video) and up to 10 documents.
iPhone photos (HEIC) upload directly, so there is no need to convert them first. If a file is over the size limit, export it at a slightly lower quality and try again.
Plan limits
Section titled “Plan limits”| Plan | Photos | Video |
|---|---|---|

How Reflya protects your photos
Section titled “How Reflya protects your photos”Every image served on Reflya is watermarked, and original files are never exposed publicly. That means your photos cannot be scraped at full quality and reused elsewhere without attribution.
Updating photos
Section titled “Updating photos”You can add, remove, and reorder photos any time from your listing’s edit page under My Listings in your dashboard.
