eBay picture policy
- Every listing needs at least one photo, and eBay recommends adding more.
- Not allowed: photos that don't accurately represent the item, placeholder images, stock photos for used, damaged or defective items, added borders, added text, artwork or marketing material, and watermarks of any kind.
- Listings that break the policy can be removed or hidden, and accounts can be restricted.
Tips from eBay
- Upload high-resolution photos that aren't blurry or pixelated: small photos get blurry when enlarged.
- Don't add badges, logos, copyright notices or watermarks: they can affect your listing's placement in search results.
- Use the extra photos to show different angles and features of the item.
- To choose your main photo, move it to the top-left position in the photo uploader.
- eBay's photo uploader can replace a background with solid white automatically.

eBay image FAQ
What is the best image size for eBay listings?
eBay recommends photos of about 1600 × 1600 pixels, which is the size SizeMyListing exports for eBay.
What is eBay's minimum photo size?
Every listing needs at least one photo that is at least 500 pixels on its longest side. Smaller photos get blurry when shoppers enlarge them, so aim for the recommended 1600 pixels.
Does eBay require a white background?
No. eBay says white backgrounds are generally best, but a darker background can work better for shiny or reflective items like jewelry. You can choose any background color in the tool.
Can I add a border or my logo to eBay photos?
No. eBay's picture policy doesn't allow added borders, text, artwork, marketing material or watermarks. The margin this tool adds is plain background around the product, not a border, so keep the background the same color as your photo's backdrop (usually white).
What file types and sizes does eBay accept?
JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, WEBP, HEIC and AVIF, up to 12 MB per photo. Images from this tool are far below that limit.
Are my product photos uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser, and your photos never leave your device.
