How to Create Virtual Tour Preview Images at imgresizr.com
Take a screenshot of your virtual tour platform (Matterport, iGUIDE, Cloudpano) showing the most impressive view of the property — typically the living room, main bedroom, or most architecturally interesting space. Upload to imgresizr.com. Use the Enhance tool to brighten and sharpen the scene. Use the Crop tool to set a 16:9 ratio for the virtual tour thumbnail. Use the Caption tool to add a "360° Virtual Tour" badge or button graphic overlay in one corner — this immediately communicates to browsers that they can explore interactively. Resize to 1280×720px for listing portal thumbnails. Compress to under 1MB. Upload alongside your standard listing photos and mark it as the virtual tour entry image in your portal's CMS.
