Uploading Real Estate Photos The Right Way<\/h4>\n

Showcasing your listings well is critical to your success, and different media takes in different formats of photos. Here’s a definitive guide to understanding the ratios, how photos are cropped, and how to best prepare for multiple media outlets.<\/p>\n

Some of Brixwork’s custom designed websites have specific photo ratios on certain sections for graphic effect – often we use 16:9, or 2:1 panorama photos for a the Cinematic Intro effect. Instagram prefers square photos, while many MLS\u00ae systems are designed for traditional 4:3 ratio photos.<\/p>\n<\/div>
