# Placeholder image size for listing cards

The default property listing card uses a 16:9 image slot, and your image is cropped to fill it. A square image loses roughly the top and bottom fifth.

**What to do.** Export your placeholder at 16:9. In practice, 1600 by 900 pixels works well. Keep any wordmark or key content in the middle band of the image so it stays visible on narrower screens.
