How to Use the 4:3 Image Resizing Tool

How to Use the 4:3 Image Resizing Tool

Overview

The Image Resizing Tool helps optimise your listing images for display on property portals. When uploading listing images, the system automatically detects images that do not match the recommended 4:3 aspect ratio and provides an option to resize them.
While resizing is optional, it is recommended to ensure the best presentation of your listings across supported portals.

How It Works

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. 
  1. Upload your property images.
  2. If the image is not in a 4:3 ratio, a resize prompt will appear.

  3. Open the image in full-screen mode.
  4. Adjust and reposition the image within the 4:3 frame.

  5. Save your changes.
  6. The adjusted image will then be used for portal distribution.
Info
Is Resizing Mandatory?
No, resizing images to the 4:3 aspect ratio is not mandatory.

Alert
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:
  1. Improve image presentation on property portals
  2. Reduce unwanted cropping by portal platforms
  3. Maintain image quality and composition
  4. Ensure a consistent viewing experience across devices
  5. Highlight important property features more effectively

InfoWhy 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:
  1. Important parts of the image are being cut off
  2. Distorted image presentation
  3. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. For best results, use images that already follow the 4:3 ratio, such as 1400 × 1050 pixels or 1600 × 1200 pixels.
