Etsy listing photo size guide
Short answer: Etsy listing photos should be large enough to look clear in product pages and search previews, with enough safe margin to avoid awkward thumbnail crops. Use ListingPic to check dimensions, aspect ratio, format, file size, and crop risk locally before uploading.

Frequently asked
What size should Etsy listing photos be?+
Use high-resolution listing photos and treat 2000px or more on the important sides as a practical working target. Etsy guidance can change, so confirm unusual cases in the current Etsy help center before publishing.
Do Etsy listing photos have to be square?+
No. Square photos can work, but many sellers also use landscape listing photos. The first image should be checked for thumbnail crop risk because search and shop previews may crop differently.
Which image formats should I use for Etsy?+
JPEG and PNG are safe working formats for most product photos. ListingPic can inspect JPG, PNG, and WebP locally, but marketplace upload support should always be confirmed in Etsy before publishing.
Does ListingPic upload my Etsy photo?+
No. The checker reads image dimensions, file size, and format locally in your browser. It does not upload the original image to ListingPic.
