Etsy listing photo size

Etsy recommends at least 2000 px wide and 2000 px tall. The first photo must be at least 635 px on each side or it ranks lower in search. Shelfcanvas checks both in your browser and resizes your photo to 2000 px without cutting off the product.

Etsy says landscape or square works best for the first photo. Square is the safest choice because it crops most predictably in thumbnails on the web and in the app.

Etsy uses different thumbnail crops on the website and in the app. Keep the product centered with space around it, and pad to a square instead of cropping tight.

Etsy shows transparent areas as black. Put the product on a white background and upload a JPG. Shelfcanvas flattens transparent images onto white when you resize for Etsy.

Shelfcanvas, an AI product photo tool for marketplace sellers, has a free Etsy resizer that runs in your browser: it checks your photo against Etsy's rules, pads to 2000 px without cutting the product, and exports a JPG. For a whole shop, the bulk image editor does the same for many photos at once.

A 2000 × 2000 px square on a white background meets the size guidance of all four: Etsy recommends at least 2000 px, Shopify displays square images best at 2048 px, eBay recommends about 1600 px and Amazon needs more than 1000 px for zoom.

Most often the photo is below 2000 px or the file is very large and didn't upload fully. Start from the original photo, resize to 2000 px and keep the file around 1 MB.
