If you want to add more photos to your active ad on BoligPortal, you can simply click on the listed adress / ad under 'Advertised rentables' and click on 'Add Photo'.
You can upload photos in JPG, JPEG, and PNG formats.
You cannot upload photos in PDF or HEIC format.
We recommend adding bright, high-quality, and accurate photos when creating your listing. Additionally, it provides a better user experience if your photos offer a chronological tour of your property and include a floor plan. The better your photos are, the more interest your listing will attract.
If you don’t add photos to your listing, it will appear like this to potential renters.
We only accept image files in .jpg, .jpeg, .jpng, and .png formats with a maximum size of 10MB each.
We do not accept file types such as PDF and HEIC (commonly from Apple devices).
How to add photos to your active housing ad
- Find and click on the listing under 'Advertised rentables'.
-
Go to the photo section in the listing and click 'Add Photo'.
-
Review that your photos appear as you want them, and click 'Save changes'.
You can control the order of your photos, including which photo should be the primary one that potential renters see before clicking on the listing.
Click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of each photo to open a small menu with additional options.
→ 'Primary picture' sets the listing’s cover photo
→ 'Floor plan' sets the floor plan image via a button on the ad
→ 'Remove image' deletes the image from the listing
→ Arrows '← →' at the bottom move the image's position
→ Arrow '↻' at the bottom rotates the image
What does primary image mean?
The primary image is the main photo that will appear as the cover image for your listing. It’s the first image potential renters will see when browsing your listing, before clicking on it for more details.
Why should I mark my floor plan as 'Floor Plan'?
When you mark your floor plan as 'Floor Plan', as shown in the image above, your listing will automatically get a button labeled 'Floor Plan'. When potential renters click on it, your floor plan will be displayed automatically.
This provides a good user experience for potential renters and makes it easy to navigate your listing.
I can't upload photos to my listing. What should I do?
If you're experiencing issues uploading photos to your listing, it’s often due to using a file format we don't support – typically PDF or HEIC – or because one or more of your photos exceeds 10MB.
Make sure you only add photos in JPG, JPEG, and PNG formats.
You cannot add photos in PDF or HEIC formats. If your photos are in these formats, you'll need to change the file type before you can upload them.
Many Apple and iOS devices automatically save photos in the HEIC file format when the live feature is enabled. This format is not supported by BoligPortal and cannot be uploaded.
You can change your photo file type by taking a screenshot of the images in your camera roll and uploading those screenshots instead, or by using an online file converter.
If you search for "HEIC to JPG" or similar terms on Google, you will find a variety of conversion solutions.
Unfortunately, BoligPortal cannot change the file type for you.
You can typically avoid your phone saving pictures in HEIC format by turning off the live feature.
To deactivate the live feature on your iPhone, tap the live icon in the top right corner of your camera app, so a diagonal line appears over it.
Regular images taken with a digital camera or a newer smartphone typically range from 2MB to 10MB. If you take photos in RAW (with professional camera equipment), the images are typically three times larger.
On BoligPortal, each of your images must not exceed 10MB.
You can easily compress the file size of your images by running them through software that automatically reduces the file size.
For example, you can search for "Compress image size" on Google, where you'll find a wide range of compression solutions.
On a computer:
Right-click on the image file and select 'Properties' (Windows) or 'Get Info' (Mac). You will see the file size in megabytes (MB) in the respective windows.
On a mobile device:
Open the app and find the image you want to check the size of. Tap on it to open it. Click on 'Details' or 'Info,' where you can see the file size in megabytes (MB).
