How to Use Inventory Photo Overlays

A Guide to Enhancing Your Vehicle Inventory with Professional Image Overlays


On the left Menu of the Dashboard, select Photo Overlays:


You will see an area where you can add a New Overlay. This is where you will upload your overlay graphic.




Photo Overlay Graphic Best Practices

  • The minimum recommended image size 1280x960 pixels.
  • Save your overlay as a Transparent PNG file format.



Give your overlay graphic a name and upload it. Emojis are supported in the name. In this example, we will name it 🔥Sample Overlay.



You will now see all of your uploaded Overlay Graphics.

 



Adding Overlay to a Vehicle Listing

  • Go to Inventory and select the vehicle listing you would like to add the overlay on.
  • Scroll to the very bottom to the Photos section. You will see drop-down options to apply your overlay. You can choose to have the overlay on the first photo, or all photos.

  • Once you have selected your overlays, hit Apply.
  • You will now see your overlays on the photos.
  • Be sure to Save your listing.
  • If you wish to remove all overlays from a listing, hit Clear Overlays.


Deleting an Overlay

  • To delete an Overlay press Delete.

  • Once the overlay is deleted, it will be moved to the Recently Deleted section.
  • Deleted overlays can be Restored within 30 days.



 Important Notes:

  • Deleting an overlay from the Photo Overlays section will NOT remove it from any inventory you've applied it to.
  • The overlays will stay in place until you remove them from the listing.
  • To remove an overlay from a listing, select No Overlay from the Dropdown and hit Apply. Alternatively, you can also hit Clear Overlays.
