Etsy’s own listing-photo tips (linked below) come down to a few numbers:
| Advice | Value |
|---|---|
| Size | At least 2000 px on width and height |
| Lead photo shape | Landscape or square; keep the other photos the same shape |
| Smallest acceptable | 635 px on each side, or the photo may rank lower |
| File size | Images over 1 MB may not finish uploading |
| Our recipe | 2667 × 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Etsy advises a landscape or square lead image, with later photos in the same shape. Landscape 4:3 shows best in search.
Yes. White backgrounds look clean in search. Use White background to make one, then come back to resize.
