What can the checker not verify automatically?
Visual policies such as backgrounds, text, watermarks, borders, product fill, subject placement, and crop quality still need manual review. These items are never reported as automatically passed.
Corrective action
How do I fix a failed Amazon image?
If the image fails, resize or crop it to the target frame, export one of the accepted formats (JPEG, TIFF, GIF), then confirm any account- or category-specific file-size rule before uploading.
Privacy
Are uploaded images stored?
No. The original image is used only for the current browser check and export request. It is not published, assigned a public URL, or persisted after processing.
Amazon PDP image size affects how the product appears on the detail page, in galleries, and in zoom. A 2000 x 2000 px square export is a practical target for many main images.
Amazon main image dimensions
Amazon main images should have enough pixels for zoom readiness. A common threshold is at least 1000 px on the longest side, with larger square files often preserving more product detail.
Main image vs gallery images
The main image usually needs clean product-only presentation on a white background. Gallery images can add context, details, and scale, but they still need clean dimensions and file quality.
White background and product-only review items
Pixel checks cannot confirm every policy item. Review white background, product fill, extra props, watermarks, borders, and text manually before uploading.

Does an Amazon main image need a white background? Amazon main images commonly require a pure white background and should avoid text, watermarks, borders, props, or non-included accessories. This tool marks those as manual review items.
What is the minimum Amazon main image size? A common requirement is at least 1000 px on the longest side for zoom quality. This tool defaults export to 2000 x 2000 px.
Should Amazon main images be square? A square 1:1 image is usually the safest layout for search results and product pages, even when multiple ratios are accepted.
Can this tool detect Amazon text or watermark violations? No. Text, watermarks, props, and background policy items require manual review because they depend on image content.
Which format should I export for Amazon main images? JPEG is the default recommendation for most product photos. The cited Amazon category guide also lists TIFF and GIF.
Export guidance
JPEG is usually best for photographic product images. PNG is useful for transparent or graphic assets. WebP can be efficient for storefront performance, but use JPEG or PNG when the target marketplace does not accept WebP.
