Add or edit photos
Showcase your place with great photographs —They’re instrumental in helping prospective guests decide where to stay.
What a photo tour is
Photo tours are more than just a way to help guests explore your listing through your great images. Use photo tour as a way to assign a photo to a room, add an amenity, or an accessibility feature so that guests can check what each room features. If you’d like to continue to add photos manually, you can do that too! Go to the Listing editor, and then Your space. Go to Photos, and tap Edit to make your changes.

How photo tours work
Once you create the photo tour, you can customize it by adding, moving photos, or deleting rooms from your listings. If you add any new photos, the AI engine will automatically sort them into new rooms for you.
After adding a photo tour to your listing, consider a few things:
- So that we can show your photo tour to guests, make sure all your rooms and spaces have at least one photo. If you have a room or space with no photos, you can either add photos or simply delete that room or space--you can always add it back later.
- Once you have a photo tour, you can add details to each room or space, like sleeping arrangements, amenities, and accessibility features.

Reordering photos
Within the photo tour, you can reorder the first five photos on your cover page. Simply tap All photos, then drag photos in the order you prefer. Your changes will be saved automatically.
