How do I photograph my car in the best way?
A great listing stands or falls with strong images – and on swisscarspot.ch you can upload up to 10 photos.
That’s more than enough to showcase your car perfectly and impress potential buyers.
The most important tips for perfect car photos:
1. Shoot in daylight
Ideally in bright but slightly cloudy weather – this helps avoid harsh shadows and reflections.
Choose a location where your car is the focus – clean background, no traffic or distractions.
2. Show your car from all angles
Take photos of:
Front left angle
Front right angle
Rear left angle
Rear right angle
Both side profiles
Front view
Rear view
Interior (cockpit, seats, dashboard)
Engine bay or special details
This gives buyers a complete impression – and makes your listing look professional and trustworthy.
3. Hide the license plate
If you don’t want your license plate visible:
Simply remove it from the frame or cover it neatly with a black or white bar using your phone.
Avoid blurring or pixelating – it looks messy.
4. Keep the whole car in focus
Don’t shoot too close – make sure the entire vehicle is clearly visible.
Ensure the car is straight, wheels slightly turned (for a more dynamic look), and no people are in the frame.
5. Take your time
A few extra minutes are worth it. Keep your phone steady – take a couple of extra shots and choose the best one.
Almost any modern smartphone is more than enough for great photos!
