What are the current Amazon main image requirements?
Amazon main images should be at least 1000 px on the longest side for the cited category guidance, while a 2000 x 2000 px square export is a practical working target. JPEG, TIFF, and GIF are listed formats. White background, product fill, text, watermark, border, and included-accessory rules still require manual visual review.

Amazon PDP Image Size Requirements
For Amazon PDP images, sellers should prepare files that are large enough for product detail pages and buyer zoom. A square 2000 x 2000 px export is a practical working target for many main images.
The exact display can vary by category and page surface, but the image should have enough pixels to show product detail without visible softness.
Amazon Main Image Size and Zoom Readiness
Amazon image guidance commonly uses 1000 px on the longest side as an important zoom threshold. Larger files, such as 2000 x 2000 px, often preserve more detail.
If the image is too small, buyers may not be able to inspect texture, labels, packaging, or product features clearly.
Main Image vs Gallery Image Requirements
The main image is the most constrained because it usually needs clean product-only presentation on a white background.
Gallery images can support lifestyle context, details, scale, and feature callouts depending on category rules, but they still need sufficient size and clean compression.
White Background and Product-Only Rules
Main images should generally use a pure white background and avoid borders, watermarks, text overlays, and accessories that are not included with the product.
Automated dimension checks cannot fully verify these policy items, so review the visual content manually before upload.
Common Amazon Product Image Mistakes
Common issues include undersized files, poor square framing, heavy compression, non-white backgrounds, extra props, and product images that do not fill enough of the frame.
A file can pass pixel checks and still need manual cleanup if the product is cropped, blurry, or visually inconsistent with Amazon main image expectations.
Check Your Amazon Main Image Before Upload
Use the Amazon checker to verify PDP image dimensions, file size, accepted formats, square crop, and manual review items before uploading to a listing.
Export a corrected file for Amazon while keeping the original source image for future gallery or marketplace versions.

Official versus recommended
Official values are explicitly stated by the marketplace. Recommended values are safer working targets for export, presentation, or reuse and are not presented as hard platform limits.
Update note
Marketplace rules can change by category, region, account, or upload surface. Review the linked primary sources for unusual listings. A technical check does not guarantee marketplace approval.
