Manual checklist

Make sure the product is clear and not cropped awkwardly in search thumbnails.
Avoid text-heavy overlays that make the product hard to inspect.
Check Etsy’s current help center before relying on any size guidance for a new category.

Preset notes

The 2000px guidance is treated as a best-practice warning, not a hard failure.
Square and portrait images can still be useful; this checker only warns when the image is far from common listing-photo framing.

Checker summary

What this checker actually tests

ListingPic Etsy Image Checker is a browser-based product photo preflight tool for ecommerce sellers.
It checks image dimensions, aspect ratio, file size, format, and browser-readable metadata before upload.
It is best suited for Etsy Image workflows.
Images are checked locally in the browser and are not uploaded to ListingPic servers for the core checker workflow.
ListingPic is independent and cannot guarantee final marketplace approval.

Why not just resize blindly or upload and hope?

Generic resizers and size charts do not preview Etsy thumbnail crop risk or flag listing-photo aspect-ratio warnings. This checker catches Etsy-specific file readiness issues locally before you upload, while visual policy items still need manual review in Etsy Help.

Checks run locally in your browser — image content is not uploaded to ListingPic for the core checker workflow.
Separates measurable file checks from manual review reminders so you know what still needs human judgment.
Does not guarantee marketplace approval; final decisions depend on current platform policies.
