Amazon product image size: the exact specs

Amazon rejects or suppresses images for very specific reasons — not vague ones. Here is what the listing actually needs.

For the main image, use a square JPEG at 2000 × 2000 px on a pure white background (#FFFFFF), with the product filling about 85% of the frame. Amazon's minimum is 1000 px on the longest side — anything smaller loses the zoom feature and hurts conversion.

Exact sizes

Use	Pixels	Ratio	Format
Main image	2000 × 2000 (min 1000)	1:1	JPEG, sRGB
Zoom threshold	≥ 1000 px longest side	—	—
Additional images	2000 × 2000	1:1 recommended	JPEG / PNG
File size	under 10 MB	—	JPEG preferred
Background	pure white #FFFFFF	—	—
Product fill	85% of the frame	—	—

Common mistakes

Off-white backgrounds — A background that reads as #F8F8F8 on your monitor may be flagged. Sample the actual pixel value, don't eyeball it.
Images under 1000 px — Amazon will still show them, but the hover-zoom stops working — and zoom correlates with conversion.
Adding your own borders or text — Watermarks, logos, borders and promotional text are not allowed on the main image. They're tolerated on secondary images only in some categories.
Saving as PNG for photos — PNG is allowed, but a 2000 px photo as PNG can be 5–8 MB. JPEG at quality 85 looks identical at a fraction of the size.

How to do this for a whole catalogue

Dropping 80 product photos into an editor one at a time is the slow part — not the editing itself.

Batch Photo Studio takes a whole folder, resizes every image to the same 2000 × 2000 canvas, pads (rather than crops) to keep the product intact, and exports a ZIP. The Amazon preset is built in, so you don't have to type the numbers.

Everything runs locally in your browser: your product photos never leave your computer, which also means it works with unreleased SKUs.

FAQ

What is the minimum Amazon image size?

1000 px on the longest side to enable zoom. Amazon's absolute minimum is 500 px, but images that small look poor in search results and in the app.

Does Amazon require a square image?

The main image should be square (1:1). Non-square images get padded with white bars or cropped in some placements, which can cut off part of the product.

Can I use the same image on Etsy and Amazon?

Yes, if it's square and at least 2000 px. Etsy recommends 2000 px wide as well, so one export at 2000 × 2000 covers both marketplaces.

Is a white background mandatory?

For the main image, yes — pure white. Secondary images may show the product in context, on a surface, or in use.
