Product Image Sizes for Every Marketplace (2026)

Every marketplace wants a slightly different file. Here is the one master size that feeds them all, plus a per-platform table of ratios, minimums and limits.

Every marketplace wants a slightly different file, and the difference between "accepted" and "rejected" is often 200 pixels. This guide is the product image sizes cheat sheet we keep open when launching a catalogue across channels — one table per platform, plus the single master file that feeds all of them.

The short version: shoot and store one 2000 x 2000 px square sRGB master per shot, and export downward per channel. Never upscale, never edit the export — always go back to the master.

The one-size-fits-most answer

If you remember nothing else:

Setting Value Why
Ratio 1:1 square Fills marketplace grids without cropping
Resolution 2000 x 2000 px Meets or beats every recommended size
Colour sRGB The web standard; CMYK shifts colour on upload
Format JPEG (PNG for transparency) Universally accepted, small files
Quality 80–90 Visually lossless, roughly half the file size of 100
Background Pure white for the main image Passes review everywhere; safe default

That single file is compliant on Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, Temu, TikTok Shop, and Google Shopping. Everything below is the per-platform detail you need when a category or a limit bites.

The cheat sheet

Platform Ratio Minimum Recommended Max file / size Main-image background
Amazon 1:1 (flexible) 500 px longest side 1600–2000 px longest side 10000 px Pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255)
Shopify 1:1 2048 x 2048 px 4472 x 4472 px, 20 MB Your choice; white converts
eBay 1:1 500 px longest side 1600 px longest side 12 MB White or very light
Etsy 1:1 (4:3 also shown) 1000 px 2000 px shortest side ~1 MB per file Styled or white
Walmart 1:1 1000 x 1000 px 2000 x 2000 px 5 MB Pure white
Temu 1:1 800 x 800 px 1340 x 1340 px+ White or clean light
TikTok Shop 1:1 600 x 600 px 800 x 800 px+ 5 MB Clean white or light
Google Shopping 1:1 preferred 100 x 100 px (250 px apparel) 800 x 800 px+ 16 MB White, no promo text

Platforms revise these specs, and category exceptions exist (apparel, media, jewellery and hazmat categories often differ). Treat the seller documentation as the authority before any bulk upload.

Amazon

1600 px on the longest side is the number that matters — it turns on zoom, and zoom correlates with conversion. The main image also needs a pure white background with the product filling about 85% of the frame. Full rules in our Amazon product image requirements and the Amazon image size and resolution guide.

Shopify

Shopify is the most permissive of the group, which is exactly why stores get inconsistent. Pick one ratio for the whole catalogue and stick to it — mismatched ratios make a collection page look amateur before a shopper reads a single word. See the Shopify product image size and dimensions guide.

eBay, Etsy, and Walmart

eBay's 500 px minimum is a floor, not a target: 1600 px enables zoom and is what buyers expect. Etsy is the odd one out with a file size ceiling around 1 MB, so compress carefully rather than shrinking dimensions. Walmart is the strictest on the main image — 1000 px minimum, pure white, product-only. Details in eBay listing photo requirements, Etsy product photo tips, and Walmart Marketplace image requirements.

Ads and social sizes

Your ad creative comes from the same master file, cropped — never stretched.

Placement Ratio Size
Meta feed 1:1 1080 x 1080 px
Meta / TikTok stories & Reels 9:16 1080 x 1920 px
Instagram portrait 4:5 1080 x 1350 px
Pinterest 2:3 1000 x 1500 px
Google Shopping 1:1 800 x 800 px+

Shoot with headroom so a square master survives a 9:16 crop. If your product already fills 90% of the square, a vertical crop will cut it in half. Our guide to repurposing one product photo across every channel walks through the crop order.

Format and compression

  • JPEG — the default for photographs. Quality 80–90 is visually lossless at a fraction of the size.
  • PNG — only when you need real transparency (logos, overlays). Photographs saved as PNG are needlessly huge.
  • WebP / AVIF — excellent on your own storefront, patchy on marketplaces. Keep JPEG for uploads.
  • Never re-save a JPEG repeatedly. Each save re-compresses and adds artefacts. Edit the master, export once.

On your own store, oversized files are a real conversion cost — see compressing Shopify images without losing quality.

A master-file workflow that scales

  1. Shoot or generate at 2000 x 2000 px square, sRGB.
  2. Store masters in one folder per SKU, named sku-shot-01.jpg — descriptive names help image SEO.
  3. Export per channel from the master; never from an export.
  4. Compress on export, not before.
  5. Re-run the whole export when a platform changes its specs — one command, not a reshoot.

Getting every size from one photo

The reason most sellers end up with mismatched, upscaled, or rejected images is simple: they only have the photos the supplier sent. Everything after that is a compromise.

With HedaAI, you upload one or more real photos and get a full set of 12 e-commerce images — 8 main and gallery shots plus 4 A+ banner images — generated at high resolution with your product's true shape, colour and labels preserved. They come out square and marketplace-ready, so the same set feeds Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Temu and TikTok Shop without a reshoot. New accounts get $2 in free credits (about two products free), then $1.00 per product; the first run is a watermarked preview, and your first payment removes watermarks and unlocks 2K HD downloads. See the examples page and pricing.

The takeaway

Stop memorising per-platform pixel counts. Keep one 2000 px square sRGB master per shot, export downward per channel, compress on export, and check the two specs that actually get enforced: the minimum resolution and the main-image background. Do that once and every new marketplace becomes a five-minute export instead of a reshoot.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best all-round product image size?
A 2000 x 2000 px square in sRGB, saved as JPEG at quality 80–90. It meets or exceeds the recommended size on every major marketplace, downsizes cleanly, and gives you room to crop to other ratios without upscaling.
Should product images be square or vertical?
Square 1:1 for marketplace listings — Amazon, Temu, TikTok Shop, Walmart and most Shopify themes all display square grids. Keep vertical 4:5 or 9:16 crops for social and ads, exported from the same square master.
Does image size affect SEO and page speed?
Yes, but resolution and file size are different things. Upload a high-resolution image so zoom works, then let the platform's CDN serve resized versions. On your own store, compress and use modern formats so large images do not slow the page.
Is 1600 px enough for Amazon?
1600 px on the longest side is the threshold that enables Amazon's zoom feature, so it is the practical minimum. 2000 px is the comfortable target and gives sharper zoom on high-density screens.
Can I upscale a small supplier photo to meet the minimum?
Technically yes, but reviewers and shoppers both see the result. Upscaled files look soft and pixelated at zoom, which reads as low quality. Re-shoot the product or regenerate the image at full resolution instead.
