Hi Ozyteac,
As Tracy said you can use the ‘Preview’ App to resize the photos you want to upload to eBay, but you can also do this within the Photos App.
Let’s assume you going to use 10 photos
In the Photos app:
- Select the photos you need for your eBay listing.
- Then go to File > Export 10 Photos > Then you will have the following options:
Photo Kind: JPEG
JPEG Quality: High
Color profile: Original
Size: Full Size (drop down menu)
- In the Size drop down menu select Custom > Max: Dimension > of: 1024 px
- Click Export and Select the Destination Folder (maybe create a folder on the Desktop called ‘Ebay Upload’ or any other name you prefer)
- On eBay Select the ‘Add photos’ option and look for the Folder ‘Ebay Upload’ in your Desktop, Select all the photos in that folder and they should be ok to upload.
For eBay I normally use 1024 pixels as the image’s largest length, for example, if the dimension of your original image is 2048 px by 1536 px the exported image will be 1024 px by 768 px. The resulting images will be the perfect file size and dimensions for eBay’s Upload and Web / Mobile viewing.
If your images are 500 x 500 pixels in the Photo App they will be exported as 1024 X1024 pixels.
Using the Preview App.
If you already have your images in a Folder anywhere in your computer:
- Using Finder Select all the Photos
- in the Finder’s Top Menu Select: File > Open With > Preview
- In Preview go to: Edit > Select All
- Then go to Tools > Adjust Size > There you will have the following options:
Image Dimensions
Fit into: 1024 x 768 pixels (drop down menu)
Resolution: 72 pixels/inch
Leave Scale proportionally and Resample image selected.
Press OK
- Go to Edit > Export Selected Images… > Choose the Destination Folder and press Choose.
The Preview app will do the job as well, however the resulting image’s dimensions will vary depending on the images being Portrait or Landscape. In that case you could select all the Portrait images first, follow the steps above and then then select all the Landscape images and do the same.
Hope that helps.
