What Etsy recommends

Etsy’s own listing-photo tips (linked below) come down to a few numbers:

AdviceValue
SizeAt least 2000 px on width and height
Lead photo shapeLandscape or square; keep the other photos the same shape
Smallest acceptable635 px on each side, or the photo may rank lower
File sizeImages over 1 MB may not finish uploading
Our recipe2667 × 2000 px (4:3 landscape), under 1 MB

The 4:3 shape matches how Etsy crops listing thumbnails in search, so what you frame here is what shoppers see.

How to do it here

  1. The recipe is ready: KB size 1000 with exactly 2667 × 2000 px, JPG.
  2. Drop your photo. Drag the bright box so the product sits in the middle with a little space around it.
  3. Hit Repixel it ✨. The badge confirms the exact pixels and that the file is under 1,000,000 bytes.

Photo tips that sell

  • Natural light. Shoot near a window, not under a yellow ceiling light.
  • Fill the frame, but leave a margin. Etsy shows thumbnails at different sizes; tiny products get lost and edges get cropped.
  • Same shape for every photo. Mixed shapes make your listing gallery jump around.
  • Clean background for the first photo. A plain or white background reads well in search; lifestyle shots work as later photos.
  • Show scale. One photo with the item in a hand or next to a common object helps buyers.

Doing a whole shop

Use Bulk resize with Pixels 2667 × 2000 and Save as JPG to prepare your listing photos together, up to 10 at a time. At that size a JPG is usually 400–900 KB; if one comes out over 1 MB, run it through this page to get it under. Everything is processed on your device, so every batch stays private.

Why landscape for the first photo?

Etsy shows listing thumbnails in search as landscape rectangles. A square or portrait lead photo gets trimmed at the top and bottom, which can cut off the product. Starting with a 4:3 landscape image means what you frame here is exactly what shoppers see in search results, on both desktop and the app.

FAQ fr

What is the best Etsy listing photo size?

Etsy suggests at least 2000 px on both sides and a landscape or square lead photo. We use 2667×2000 (4:3 landscape), which meets both and matches Etsy's thumbnails.

Why under 1 MB?

Etsy's help page warns that images larger than 1 MB may not finish uploading, especially on slower connections. This recipe keeps every photo under that.

Should my first photo be square?

Etsy advises a landscape or square lead image, with later photos in the same shape. Landscape 4:3 shows best in search.

Can I use a white background?

Yes. White backgrounds look clean in search. Use White background to make one, then come back to resize.
