Amazon image size requirements for 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When setting up new product pages or updating existing listings, you\u2019ll need to meet the Amazon image guidelines and related technical requirements. If you don\u2019t, Amazon won\u2019t accept your listings and images, even if you have the best product images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Technical requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Check out the technical Amazon product image requirements at a glance below, but remember it\u2019s always best to check its site<\/a> for the most up-to-date information and Amazon policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other requirements to note for main product images include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also include up to eight additional photos to support your main photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re selling used or refurbished products, an \u201cOffer Level\u201d or \u201cListing Photo\u201d is also allowed on your product pages. This image displays on Amazon\u2019s offer listing page, which helps customers differentiate your offer. To add your image, access your Amazon Common Template. Map the field termed as \u201cMain Offer Image\u201d and \u201cOffer Images.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond adhering to Amazon product photography<\/a> requirements, high-quality imagery will also make your products come to life for shoppers who can only view them through a screen. Some companies may opt to shoot their own product photos but there\u2019s value in hiring a professional product photographer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using high-quality images for the main and child SKU images are particularly important for converting sales and receiving more clicks, but they\u2019re also part of Amazon\u2019s non-technical standards. These Amazon product images requirements are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For shoes in particular, you\u2019ll need to show only a single shoe, facing left at a 45-degree angle. No room for creativity here! Additionally, childrens\u2019 clothing should be photographed flat without models, while apparel for adults should be worn and photographed on models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your photos require editing, you might consider hiring a professional photo editor, which can mean the difference between beautifully-detailed photos and Photoshop fails<\/a> (which no business owner can afford).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not sure if it\u2019s time to outsource your photo edits or if you should keep doing them yourself? These are the 13 signs it\u2019s time to get some outside help<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what can happen if you use an unreliable editing service, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source 1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Compare the images above to this professionally shot and edited image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s important for your images to be honest. In other words, don\u2019t change the vibrance or saturation, because once your product gets to the customers, they\u2019ll know you misrepresented the photos and description. Setting realistic expectations is very important, even critical, when selling online so your customers know what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Similarly, if you need to represent scale in your photos, make sure everything is realistic when photoshopping your images. It\u2019s best, whenever possible, to put a ruler next to the item or simply put in the actual dimensions. Don\u2019t enlarge any elements for products with multiple pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazon requires all sellers avoid the following elements in the product images:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are additional resources from Amazon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s up to you to prioritize the images in the order in which you want them displayed. It\u2019s a good idea to use all of the available image slots, rather than just two or three pictures. Doing so helps overcome one disadvantage that every online retailer faces: not being able to put the product in the hands of the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve uploaded your photos, you\u2019ll want to prioritize and assign how each image appears on the page. This process determines the order of your images, so they show up in the correct sequence within the Amazon product search results as well as on your product pages. Consider arranging the images so customers experience the product (through photos) in a logical way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out the example below from Loisa<\/a>, which sells Latin-flavored spices and seasonings on its own ecommerce store and through Amazon. In addition to the straightforward white background shots, it angles the bottle of seasoning so customers can see the part of the label that lists the ingredients. It also showcases the product outside of its packaging so shoppers can better imagine cooking with it in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Image source<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Use supplemental images to your advantage (and to help the customer make an informed decision). Give customers a detailed view of the item(s) from all perspectives. Not showing aspects of the product in detail can cost you a potential customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, this matcha powder from Golde<\/a> is photographed in a few different ways. The main image gives you an idea of how it\u2019s packaged, which sets expectations for when the product arrives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Image source<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The supplemental images show how customers can use the product in drinks. It also gives you a glimpse into what the matcha powder actually looks like, which you can\u2019t see when it\u2019s in the packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try to imagine which angles the buyers would examine in person and then replicate that. You might also want to shoot your product from different angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re not sure which angles your customers want to see regarding your particular product, go to a physical retail store and observe how shoppers interact with merchandise (if you can) or look around at objects in your home and pick them up as if they were displayed in a store. What would you look at or look for? The interior of handbags and wallets, for instance, are often photographed as there are important features customers would be interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use a mix of images with people too. This can give products scale and help potential buyers imagine themselves in the model\u2019s place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll also want to pay attention to the lighting of your photoshoot and how that affects the colors of your photos, especially because they need to look the same way in the photos as they do to the naked eye. Use an extra light source, and edit the photo afterward to really make it pop. A little bit of post-processing can go a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your budget allows, consider hiring a product photographer. An experienced professional who specializes in your industry and type of products should know which angles to capture. Ask your network for recommendations and peruse directories like Shopify Experts<\/a>, Guru<\/a>, or Thumbtack<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Never underestimate the value of optimized product images. Even though the search algorithm places some weight behind brand name, product title and description, optimizing your photos can certainly help boost your views.![\"Chart](\"https:\/\/cdn.pathedits.com\/Images\/posts\/4-important-tips-optimizing-amazon-product-images\/amazon-image-size-chart.png\")
