Frequently asked questions
Why won't my photos upload to SpareRoom?
Your photos might be too large. Modern phones take high-resolution photos that can be 5MB or larger, which can cause uploads to fail. Compressing them to under 2MB solves this issue.
Will my room look less appealing if the photo is compressed?
Not at all. We use smart compression that reduces the file size while maintaining the visual quality. Potential flatmates won't notice the difference, but the images will upload and load much faster.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes, our tool works perfectly on mobile browsers. You can select photos straight from your phone's gallery, compress them, and upload them to SpareRoom without ever switching devices.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is needed. The tool is 100% free, has no watermarks, and you can compress as many photos as you need for your advert.
