How to Use the 4:3 Image Resizing Tool

Overview

The Image Resizing Tool lets you adjust listing images to a 4:3 aspect ratio before they are sent to property portals. Portals often crop images that are not 4:3, which can cut off important parts of the photo. Resizing lets you choose what stays in frame.

How to resize an image

When you upload an image with an aspect ratio other than 4:3 (for example, 3:2, 16:9, or other dimensions), the system will display a prompt allowing you to resize the image.

Upload your property images in listings.
If an image is not 4:3, a resize prompt appears.
Open the image in full-screen mode.
Move and adjust the image within the 4:3 frame.
Click Save. The adjusted image is used for portal distribution.

Is resizing mandatory?

No. You can skip the prompt and upload the image as it is. The portal may then crop it automatically.

You may choose to skip the resize step and continue uploading your images as they are. However, resizing is recommended to achieve the best possible display quality on property portals. For example, Property Finder may resize the image automatically to match their portal guidelines.

Benefits of Using the 4:3 Ratio

Using images that conform to the recommended 4:3 aspect ratio helps:

Improve image presentation on property portals
Reduce unwanted cropping by portal platforms
Maintain image quality and composition
Ensure a consistent viewing experience across devices
Highlight important property features more effectively

Why Should I Resize My Images?

Different portals may automatically crop or adjust images that do not meet their preferred image standards. This can result in:

Important parts of the image are being cut off
Distorted image presentation
Inconsistent photo layouts across listings

The 4:3 Image Resizing Tool allows you to control how your images are displayed, ensuring that key areas of the property remain visible and presented professionally.

Key Takeaway & Best Practice

For the best exposure and visual presentation of your listings, we recommend reviewing and adjusting images using the 4:3 Image Resizing Tool whenever prompted.
While resizing is optional, using images that follow the recommended 4:3 aspect ratio helps ensure that your property photos are displayed optimally across supported portals, reducing the risk of unwanted cropping or distortion and providing a better viewing experience for potential buyers and tenants.
For best results, use images that already follow the 4:3 ratio, such as 1400 × 1050 pixels or 1600 × 1200 pixels.
