Photo Tips

Product photos are the first thing that catches the buyer’s attention when they browse the marketplace. The power to attract a crowd to view your listing on Veryfied is in your hands, well literally because you have to take the photos of your item!
Why is there a watermark on my photo?
Our platform was created to ensure all parties are as informed as possible throughout their purchase decision making process. We include a watermark containing your Veryfied ID and our platform’s logo in the center of every image uploaded. This is to ensure your photos never get used by anyone unauthorised to do so. This will help prevent fraudulent behaviour within the platform.
Here are the top tips to make your listings look awesome:
1. Using a 1:1 aspect ratio (Square Format)
We include a watermark containing your Veryfied ID and our platform’s logo in the center of every image uploaded. Using the 1:1 aspect ratio ensures the watermark is always in the center. You can choose to do this just for your first image only or just have all images cropped in this format prior to uploading them.
Find the listing and select the ( [ ^ ] button).
This will reveal your ”Listings Options” menu
Select “Edit Listing”
A new page will appear and here you can edit your listing’s details
2. Take multiple photos to showcase your item
Veryfied supports up to 6 photos. Showcase what best explains your listings to the buyers. Add a logo if you’re selling as a store or even a social media handle watermark.
Take a picture of your product in its natural setting
Show buyers how they can use your product
Showcase your item at different angles
Showcase your item’s details, used marks
3. Keep it simple and in the center.
Taking your photos against a simple background is the best way to make your item stand out! You can also use an interesting texture (e.g. wood, marble, concrete) as your backdrop.
Use a contrasting background to make your item stand out
Don’t distract buyers with unnecessary things in your photo, display what you sell in your cover photo
4. Keep it in Focus
Ensure your photos are perfectly focused to capture every detail. Simply tap and hold (where your item is) to lock the focus on your camera and snap away!
5. Use Good lighting
Lighting is one of the most critical elements of great product photography. If you practice and experiment with good lighting, your photos will turn out spectacular.
Set up close to your window: For objects small enough to fit in your house, have your window 90 degrees to the left/right to your product.
Avoid direct or harsh sunlight: Don’t place your object directly in front of your window or take photos during the noon or you’ll get poorly lit pictures.
6. Don’t use stock photos
Unless your item is a pre-order, avoid using stock images. Buyers would usually want to see the actual condition of your item and request for more photos through chat. By using non-stock photos, you’ll cut down your selling time by half and make your sale that much quicker!
