Overview

What aspect ratio means for vehicle listings

The proportional width and height of a listing image—platforms often crop thumbnails to fixed ratios.

Leave crop buffer around the vehicle so marketplace and Turo thumbnails do not clip the hood or wheels.

On Turo, this usually shows up in hero thumbnails and gallery trust. On Marketplace and classifieds, it affects whether buyers open the listing at all.

Shoturo helps Turo hosts, private sellers, and marketplace posters improve real uploads—background, lighting, and presentation—without generating synthetic vehicles.
