FAQ - Photograph Resizing For Property Listings

Q: My photographs are too large to submit with my rental property listing, How can I resize them?

A full tutorial on image re-sizing could be difficult due to the number of different software packages available. BUT, do not despair for after a quick search on t'internet I found this.

A simple, convenient and FREE way to resize your photos is to use the online service provided by Pic Resize (if you click the link the website will open in a new browser window so you can keep reading these instructions.)

Step 1
When you go to the website you will see a screen like this:


Use the 'Browse' button which opens a browse window to select the photo you want to resize from your computer.

When you have found your photo in the browse window, select it by double clicking your left mouse button on it and you will see your photo details appear in the bar to the left of the 'Browse' button.

Then click 'Continue' to get to the next stage (may take a few moments) which looks like this:

Step 2


Ignore 1 Select Area and go to 2 Choose New Size.

Check the small box (arrowed above) to select Custom Size.
Type 600 into the Width box (You can ignore Height as it will automatically change width the width).
Alter the drop down from Percent to Pixels.

Scroll down the page and it looks like this:

Step 3


You won't be needing any Special Effects so,
1 Check the box above None.
2
Select JPG from the dropdown menu. (saves image as a .jpeg file - what's this?)
3 Click on Resize Pic!

Step 4

Download your re-sized photo



That's it, you can repeat it for each one of your photos.
