Trip photos in Google Drive, ready for your website and booking platforms
Every trip adds hundreds of photos from guides, guests and your own camera. They end up in Google Drive at full size — too big for your website, awkward for booking platforms, and slowly filling your storage.
One folder, three jobs
The same trip photos usually need to go three places: your own website, booking platforms and marketplaces, and the archive. Each wants something different.
| Where | What works | Preset |
|---|---|---|
| Your website | 1,920 px, WebP, a few hundred KB | Optimize for web |
| Booking platforms | Landscape JPEG, ~2,500 px, well under their size cap | Tour & booking sites |
| Email and chat | 1,200 px JPEG | Email & chat |
Without downloading the trip
The usual way
- Download the trip folder
- Resize with a desktop tool or an upload site
- Upload the results to Drive, then to the platform
With PixelCinch
- Pick the trip folder in Google Drive
- Choose the preset for where the photos are going
- Smaller copies are written back to Drive
If storage is the bigger worry, shrinking last season’s photos is usually the quickest win. See how much real photos shrink.
Questions
What size should tour and rental photos be?
Booking platforms set a minimum and a maximum. Vrbo, for example, asks for at least 1,024 × 683 pixels and at most 20 MB per photo. A landscape JPEG around 2,500 pixels wide clears the minimums everywhere and stays far below the caps.
What about my own website?
For a website, smaller is faster. Use the "Optimize for web" preset instead: 1,920 pixels in a modern format, typically a few hundred kilobytes per photo.
Our guides upload phone photos in HEIC. Is that a problem?
No. HEIC files are converted to JPEG during the same run, so they work on websites and platforms that do not accept HEIC.
We share one Google Workspace account across the team. Does that work?
Yes, and for several people on the same company email domain there is a Team plan that covers everyone, shared drives included.
Are guest photos sent anywhere?
No. Processing happens in the browser tab. Photos go from Google Drive to your browser and back to Google Drive — never through a PixelCinch server.
