Shopify image requirements

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

Create account Checked 2026-11-06

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 most 5,000 × 5,000 px
  • Rejected At most 25 megapixels
  • Rejected At most 20 MB a file
  • Rejected In JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or GIF
  • Recommended At least 2,048 px on the longest side — Shopify recommends 2048 x 2048 px for square product images.
Check by eye
  • Keep one aspect ratio across a product's featured images.
The fix makes
2,048 × 2,048 px, JPEG, under 20 MB. Added text is painted out where the marketplace forbids it, and a photo under its minimum size is upscaled.
