Etsy Product Image Size & Requirements (2026)
Quick answer
Etsy recommends listing photos that are at least 2000 pixels wide and 2000 pixels tall, and the first photo must be at least 635 pixels in both dimensions. Use a landscape or square first photo with space around the product, because Etsy crops thumbnails to square, portrait and landscape. Files larger than 1 MB may not finish uploading.

Etsy image requirements
- Listing photos should be at least 2000 pixels in width and height.
- The first listing photo must be at least 635 pixels in width and height to avoid ranking lower in search.
- The first photo should be horizontal (landscape) or square; Etsy advises avoiding square crops and uploading landscape images.
- The first photo sets the shape of the photos that follow, so use the same shape for all of them.
- Etsy crops thumbnails to square, portrait and landscape: leave enough border, with the product centered, so it's never cut off.
- Accepted files: .jpg, .gif, .png, .svg, .heic. Transparent areas of a PNG show up black on Etsy.
- Images larger than 1 MB may not finish uploading on slower connections.

How Etsy crops your photos
- Your first listing photo sets the shape of the photos that follow, so use the same shape for all of them.
- Etsy shows the same photo cropped to square, portrait and landscape in different places. Leave enough border around the product, with its most important part in the center.
- Your shop home shows listing photos in a square format, and Etsy found that buyers are more likely to buy when a shop displays square photos.
- Use the thumbnail adjustment tool when you create or edit a listing to preview and fine-tune each crop.
Tips from Etsy
- Shoot from further back than you think you need, so you can crop in without losing part of the item.
- Horizontal photos use more of the thumbnail frame; vertical photos need more cropped out.
- Making an image smaller keeps its quality, but enlarging it can cause pixelation.
- Etsy compresses uploads and optimizes them for mobile, so photos may look slightly less sharp after upload.
Fixing common photo problems
- Photo shows up sideways: Etsy rotates photos using the orientation saved by your camera. If it's missing, rotate the file before uploading.
- Black background: the PNG has transparent areas. Save it with a solid background.
- Wrong colors: convert the image to sRGB (CMYK is for print).
- Upload stuck: the file is probably over 1 MB, especially on a slow connection.

Etsy image FAQ
What is the best image size for Etsy listings?
Etsy recommends listing photos that are at least 2000 pixels in both width and height, and advises uploading landscape rather than square images. SizeMyListing exports Etsy images at 2667 × 2000 pixels (landscape, 4:3) with the product centered.
What is Etsy's minimum image size?
Your first listing photo should be at least 635 pixels in width and height. Smaller first photos can show up lower in Etsy search results.
Why is my product cut off in Etsy thumbnails?
Etsy shows the same photo cropped to square, portrait and landscape in different places, and advises leaving enough border so the product isn't cut off. The Etsy preset keeps your product inside the centered square of the landscape image, with a 12% margin, so it stays whole in all three crops. Lowering the margin makes the product bigger but riskier to crop.
Why does my transparent PNG show a black background on Etsy?
Etsy doesn't support transparent PNGs: transparent areas appear black. This tool fills transparent areas with your background color (white by default) before exporting, so that can't happen.
Is there a file size limit for Etsy photos?
Etsy warns that images larger than 1 MB may not finish uploading, especially on a slower connection. The tool lowers JPG quality step by step to keep each Etsy image under 1 MB and tells you if a photo can't get there.
