Manage photos or videos for your Business Profile

Your photos look best on Google if they meet the following standards:

• Format: JPG or PNG.
• Size: Between 10 KB and 5 MB.
• Recommended resolution: 720 px tall, 720 px wide.
• Minimum resolution: 250 px tall, 250 px wide.
• Quality: The photo should be in focus and well lit, and have no significant alterations or excessive use of filters. In other words, the image should represent reality.

Make sure your videos meet the following requirements:

• Duration: Up to 30 seconds long
• File size: Up to 75 MB
• Resolution: 720p or higher

There are several types of photos you can add to your Business Profile:

• Logo: Help your customers recognize your business on Google. For businesses that have their basic information, such as a phone number or hours of operation, the Business Profile highlights the logo.
• Cover photo: Set a cover photo at the top of your profile that best represents your business. In some instances, this action doesn’t guarantee the cover photo will show up as the first image for your business.
• Business photos: Add different photos to highlight features of your business to attract and inform customers. Learn more about business photos.

After you upload a photo or video, we review it to make sure it meets our photos and videos policies. Here are some statuses you'll find when you upload a media: 

• Pending: The media is in either the upload or processing stage, or your profile is currently not verified. Pending media doesn’t show up on Google Search or Maps to customers.
• Not approved: The media is flagged and has violated policies. Since it was flagged, the media doesn't show up on Google Search or Maps.
• Live: The media shows up on Search and Maps for customers. 

If your logo photo doesn't appear, make sure you've entered all of the necessary info in your Business Profile. This includes:

• Name
• Valid location with a street address
• Categories
• Phone number
• Opening hours

If the cover photo you select is low-quality or if other sources suggest that it’s not the best photo to represent your business, a user-submitted photo may be selected instead.
