Optimize Your Gallery Now
In this module, you'll find practical recommendations to enhance the photo gallery of your accommodations and improve the visual perception of your properties.
Recommendations for Optimizing a Photo Gallery
Use Quality Photos
To make your galleries look professional, the images should meet these standards:
Format: JPG, GIF, or PNG
Minimum dimensions: 1,800 × 1,246 pixels
Resolution: 72 pixels per inch
Size: minimum 120 KB, maximum 11 MB
If the current photos don't meet these requirements, you can adjust them while maintaining their proportions using online tools. The system will also notify you through smart operations if any of the following occur: less than 75% of photos tagged; resolution below 2,301 pixels; fewer than 20 photos in total; or outdated descriptions.
Best Practices
Use tools like Canva or online image editors to resize photos without losing quality.
Bulk Resizing
If you have many images that don't meet the requirements (high size or incorrect format), there are free programs that allow you to apply changes in bulk. An example is Fileminimizer Pictures 3.0, which allows you to resize multiple images simultaneously.
Upload Enough Photos and Arrange Them Well
It's recommended to include between 10 and 25 photos to adequately showcase the rooms, bathrooms, and exteriors. The first images should be of the facade and exterior of the accommodation; then continue with the interior.
Although there is no maximum limit of photos per gallery, portals usually only display the first 20-25 images of the gallery.
Tag Photos Correctly
Assign the appropriate tag to each image: it improves visibility on portals and matching in searches.
You can tag photos of the same type in bulk, for example, all the living room photos.
To tag photos, click on the module help to access edit mode. Select the desired images and click on "Tag Selected." Then choose the tag and save.
You can also click on each photo that appears as "Untagged" at the bottom to assign an individual tag.
