Overview
What file format means for vehicle listings
How image data is stored—JPEG for photos, PNG for transparency, WebP for efficient web delivery.
Use JPEG for most listing uploads; PNG when you need transparency for ads or overlays.
On Turo, this usually shows up in hero thumbnails and gallery trust. On Marketplace and classifieds, it affects whether buyers open the listing at all.
Shoturo helps Turo hosts, private sellers, and marketplace posters improve real uploads—background, lighting, and presentation—without generating synthetic vehicles.
