Article summary: The photos you add in Reservit (My pictures) feed your booking engine, and are also sent automatically to VRBO / Abritel and Google. They are not sent to Booking.com, Expedia or Airbnb: manage them directly in these platforms' extranets. Reservit does not set a maximum number of photos, but VRBO has its own requirements.
The question
"When I change the photos of my cottages in Reservit, are they sent automatically to Booking.com, Airbnb and VRBO / Abritel? How many photos can I add?"
The short answer
It depends on the channel. Reservit sends your photos to VRBO / Abritel and Google. For Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb, photos are not sent by Reservit: you need to add them yourself in each platform's extranet.

Key point: the Abritel configuration page in Reservit has no photo settings, and that is expected: VRBO gets the photos directly from "My pictures".
