Using the correct image dimensions prevents automatic cropping and compression by the platform.
Correct dimensions
| Format | Dimensions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Listing thumbnail | 2000 × 2000 px | Square 1:1; minimum 500×500px |
| Additional photos | 2000 × 2000 px | Up to 10 photos per listing |
| Video thumbnail | 1920 × 1080 px | 16:9 format |
| Max file size | 1 MB | JPG or PNG |
| Background | White or light | Clean background converts best |
Etsy recommends 2000×2000px square photos for all product listings. Larger images rank better in search and show more detail on zoom.
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.
