Use this Etsy listing photo size checker to test whether your product image meets recommended dimensions, aspect ratio, file format, file size, and thumbnail crop requirements before uploading to Etsy.
Quick answer
Etsy listing photos should be large enough for zoom and cropped consistently across listing previews. Use this checker to verify dimensions, aspect ratio, and marketplace-ready image quality before publishing.

Measurable checks
It measures the uploaded image against the Etsy registry values for pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, file format, file size, and other metadata-based rules. Each result includes the measured value, expected guidance, and source status.
Policy limits
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
If the image fails, resize or crop it to the target frame, export one of the accepted formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG, HEIC), then confirm any account- or category-specific file-size rule before uploading.
Privacy
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.
Image size guidance
For a deeper explanation, read the Etsy listing photo size guide.
The checker measures Etsy listing photo size, image dimensions, aspect ratio, file format, file size, and thumbnail crop risk before you add the product image to a listing.
A strong Etsy listing photo size target is at least 2000 x 2000 px. This gives product pages and search thumbnails enough detail while keeping square crops predictable for buyers.
Dimensions are the pixel width and height of the file, while aspect ratio controls the shape. A 1:1 square image is usually safest for Etsy thumbnail fit, even when gallery photos can use other compositions.
The first listing photo drives the main thumbnail in search and category results. Keep the product centered and leave enough edge room so the square thumbnail crop does not cut off important details.
Common issues include photos below the recommended size, inconsistent gallery ratios, transparent PNG areas that render unexpectedly, and crops that leave too much empty space around the product.

Official means the value is explicitly stated in a primary marketplace source. Recommended is a safer working or export target. Manual review identifies visual or policy checks that file metadata cannot confirm.
Marketplace requirements can change by region, category, account, or upload surface. Confirm unusual cases in the linked platform documentation. Passing this checker does not guarantee marketplace approval.

Common questions
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.
