Amazon image requirements

What Amazon rejects and recommends in a product photo, and how Photos.sh checks a photo against it and fixes it in one step.

The rules

A photo that breaks a rule marked rejected is refused or suppressed; a recommended one is advice. The photo check measures each of them on your photo.

  • Rejected At least 500 px on the longest side
  • Rejected At most 10,000 px on the longest side
  • Rejected In JPEG, PNG, TIFF or GIF
  • Rejected On a pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255)
  • Rejected The product fills at least 85% of the frame
  • Rejected No added text, logos, watermarks or borders
  • Recommended At least 1,000 px on the longest side — Under 1000 px on the longest side, so Amazon cannot offer zoom.
Check by eye
  • No props that are not included in the sale, illustrations or multiple views of the product.
  • Show the product out of its packaging, unless the packaging is part of the product (consumables, collectibles).
  • Lifestyle, detail and infographic images are allowed as additional (not main) images.
The fix makes
2,000 × 2,000 px, JPEG, the product cut out onto white, filling 90% of the frame. Added text is painted out where the marketplace forbids it, and a photo under its minimum size is upscaled.
