Room Type

Inventory Images appear on your website

and GDS and OTA sites as well as in the Booking by Inquiry function. Each Room Type you have set up in Room Types will appear in this list. Before you upload your images, it is important to prepare them to meet size requirements and edit for best presentation. Each Room Type is allowed one image so be sure that you have the best photos available for this function

(if set as 'Sell Online'), as well as on the Booking Engine if you are using 'Sell Inventory Items'; and if selling a 'Package', the Items comprising the package can display on your website.  You are able to manage images for Items only if the Item is marked as 'Sell Online'; included as an Add-on in Self Check-in/out or Self Check-out; or in a Package.

To to see your Inventory images or to add or edit images, go to SETUP | FEATURES AND IMAGES | INVENTORY IMAGES. Each image category is allowed a carousel of images, up to 10. The size of the image is very important and must meet size requirements. Before you upload any images, please prepare your images according to

these guidelines.

Prepare your images

  • Image style: You can use any image and, In some cases, properties elect to make a collage of images. Collages can be used on your website. However, collage images are NOT allowed on GDS and OTA sites.  Images straight out of a digital camera are not optimized for the Internet – they are very high resolution for printing. The average image size should be between 15 and 50k.
  • Image file format: Image files must be in .jpg format.
  • Size requirements: Images must adhere to the minimum and maximum pixel size, noted next to each image, or they will not properly display properly. All of the main images must be 300 x 300 min and 480 x 480 max . Use an image editor to resize your image, save as a .jpg.  Tip: making all images the same size will insure best viewing. All thumbnails need to conform to 100 x 100 min and 200 x 200 max.
  • Thumbnail Images - Thumbnail images are used on your website booking engine and in the Booking by Inquiry function. To enable the thumbnails to appear on your website go to Booking Engine Settings and choose "yes" for Display Thumbnail images.

We have provided an "ALT Text "field for each Inventory Item Image in MyPMS, but the descriptive text must be entered by you in the "ALT Text" field for each Inventory Item Image. This means that every Inventory Item image on your Booking Engine should have descriptive "Alt Text" entered in MyPMS to ensure that your Booking Engine complies with ADA and WCAG standards. See Booking Engine | ADA Compliance
