Guidelines for Photos and Images on Vivastreet

High-quality images are crucial for attracting potential buyers to your ad. This page provides guidelines to help you choose and upload the best photos for your listings.

Why Quality Matters

Using clear and professional images can significantly increase the chances of your ad being viewed. Good photos help build trust and showcase your item effectively.

Choosing the Right Images

Here are some tips for selecting images for your ad:

• Show the item clearly: Make sure your main image clearly displays the item without distractions.
• Use multiple angles: Include pictures from different perspectives to give potential buyers a complete view.
• Highlight unique features: If your item has special attributes, be sure to showcase those in your images.

Image Quality and Resolution

To ensure your images look their best:

• Use high resolution: Images should be at least 800×800 pixels to maintain clarity and detail.
• Avoid low-quality images: Blurry or pixelated photos can deter potential buyers.
• Check lighting: Good lighting is essential. Natural light works best, but avoid harsh shadows.

Image Format and Size

When uploading images, keep the following in mind:

• Supported formats: Use common formats like JPG, PNG, or GIF.
• File size: Aim to keep individual image files under 5 MB to ensure quick uploads.

Editing Your Images

Consider basic editing to enhance your images:

• Crop and align: Remove unnecessary background elements and focus on the item.
• Adjust brightness and contrast: Make sure colors are vibrant and true to life.
• Do not misrepresent: Avoid heavy filters that can alter the appearance of the item.
