Using the correct image dimensions prevents automatic cropping and compression by the platform.
Correct dimensions
| Requirement | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Main image | 1000 × 1000 px minimum | 2000×2000px recommended for zoom |
| Background (main) | Pure white (#ffffff) | Required for main product image |
| Product in frame | 85% of frame | Product must fill 85% of image |
| Additional images | 1000 × 1000 px | Can have non-white background |
| Max file size | 10 MB | JPG, TIFF or PNG (no GIF) |
Amazon requires a pure white background for main product images. Images that don't meet this requirement will be suppressed from search results.
Tips
- Always use the highest resolution original — you can always resize down, never up without quality loss
- Save as JPG for photos, PNG for graphics with transparency or text
- Use Fourmeld Image Tools to resize to any exact dimension free
FAQs
What happens if I use the wrong size?
The platform auto-crops or compresses your image, often losing quality or cutting off important content.
Should I resize before or after editing?
Edit first, then resize to the target dimensions as the last step.
What format is best?
JPG at 85-90% quality is best for photos. PNG is best for graphics, logos and images with text.
