FAQ

    eBay requires listing photos to be at least 500 px on the longest side and recommends larger high-resolution images around 1600 x 1600 px.
  • What is the eBay listing photo file size limit?
    When using eBay's uploader, each image should be no larger than 12MB.
  • Does eBay allow text or watermarks on listing photos?
    eBay picture policy generally disallows added text, borders, marketing artwork, and watermarks, so those items need manual review.
  • What size should I export for eBay photos?
    This tool defaults to 1600 x 1600 px because eBay recommends high-resolution listing photos around that size.

    Yes. Use Crop to fill the target frame or Fit to preserve the full image with a white background.

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.
