Open Marketplace Image ResizerRecommended dimensions
- Recommended quality target: about 2000×2000 (or ~2000px on each side)— Official / platform recommendation (Etsy seller help photo guidance, reviewed 2026)—not the same as the 635px first-photo floor
- First photo floor: at least 635×635 — Official / platform guidance (Etsy first-image / search quality floor)
- Formats: JPG or PNG; keep files lean for smoother uploads — Platform accepts both; ~1–5 MB per photo is common seller practice
Thumbnails and cropping
Etsy crops your first photo into thumbnails across search and your shop. Keep the product centered with a little margin so important edges are not clipped (seller practice based on how Etsy crops listing photos).
EXIF / GPS metadata
Etsy does not require EXIF stripping to accept a listing photo. Clearing camera/GPS tags is optional privacy hygiene for public shop images — not a platform mandate.
FAQ
What size should Etsy listing photos be?
Etsy Help commonly recommends listing photos around 2000px on each side for quality (platform recommendation, reviewed 2026)—not a hard “must be exactly 2000” rule. The clearer first-photo floor is about 635×635. Many shops prep 2000×2000 squares so thumbnails and zoom look sharp (seller practice).
What is the minimum Etsy photo size?
The first listing photo should be at least 635 pixels on each side to avoid weaker search placement (platform guidance). Larger (~2000px recommended) is safer for quality—confirm current Etsy Help.
What file size should Etsy images be?
Keep uploads reliable — many sellers stay near or under ~1–5 MB per photo even when the absolute maximum is higher (industry practice). JPEG or PNG both work.
Should Etsy photos be square?
Square sources crop cleanly for search thumbnails (seller practice). Landscape can work, but leave margin so important details are not cropped.
How do I resize Etsy photos without Photoshop?
Use the Marketplace Image Resizer with the Etsy preset — batch resize in your browser, then download a ZIP. Optional EXIF strip is for privacy, not an Etsy mandate.
