Why real profile and work photos help local pros look more trustworthy than logos, cartoons, or generic AI images.

People buy services from people
A real photo of the seller or recent work helps buyers understand who they are inviting into their home, driveway, event, or project.
Logos and generic images can still support a brand, but the strongest trust signal is usually a real person and real work.
What to upload
Use a clear, recent image with natural lighting. For a profile photo, the seller should be recognizable. For an offer photo, the image should show the work or a similar completed result.
Large images can be compressed before upload so sellers do not have to resize them manually.
What buyers see
Photos appear on listing cards, offer details, seller profiles, and the admin dashboard. Keeping media connected everywhere makes the marketplace feel consistent and real.
