Step-by-Step Guide

5 steps · takes under 1 minute

1

Shoot or obtain your product image

The MAIN image must show only the product on a pure white background — no props, text, logos, or watermarks. Use a lightbox or remove the background digitally.

2

Remove the background if needed

Use the Background Remover tool to isolate your product, then use the Background Color Changer or export on white canvas to get a pure white (RGB 255,255,255) background.

3

Resize to 2000×2000px

Amazon recommends 2000×2000px for the main product image. This enables the zoom feature which increases conversion rates. Minimum is 1000×1000px, but zoom requires 1000px or more on the long side.

4

Save as JPEG at 85–90% quality

Amazon requires JPEG (JPG) format for the MAIN image. Save at 85–90% quality — this gives near-lossless quality at a fraction of the file size.

5

Keep images under 10MB

Amazon accepts images up to 10MB. A 2000×2000px JPEG at 85% quality is typically 300–800KB — well within the limit.

🔒

100% Private — Zero Uploads

ImgToolkit runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never sent to a server, never stored in the cloud, and never seen by anyone else. This makes it safe for sensitive documents, client work, medical imagery, and confidential screenshots.

Pro tip

Pre-optimizing images before uploading to a platform gives you more control than relying on the platform's automatic (and often aggressive) compression.

Frequently Asked Questions

5 questions answered

What is the minimum image size for Amazon product listings?

Amazon requires a minimum of 1000 pixels on the longest side for the MAIN product image. However, 1600×1600px is the minimum to enable the zoom feature, and Amazon recommends 2000×2000px. Images below 1000px will not be eligible for the zoom feature and may be suppressed.

What background colour does Amazon require?

The MAIN product image must have a pure white background — RGB value 255, 255, 255. Off-white, light grey, or cream are not acceptable for the MAIN image. Other image slots (lifestyle, infographic, detail) allow any background.

Does Amazon accept PNG or WebP for product images?

Amazon accepts JPEG, PNG, GIF, and TIFF for product images, but JPEG is strongly recommended. The MAIN image must be JPEG. PNG is accepted for secondary images but JPEG is preferred for its smaller file size.

How many product images can I upload on Amazon?

Amazon allows up to 9 images per listing: 1 MAIN image plus 8 alternate images. Use all 9 slots — listings with 7+ images receive significantly more traffic. The alternate images can show the product from different angles, in use, with measurements, and with infographic text.

What is Amazon's aspect ratio requirement?

Amazon requires a 1:1 square aspect ratio for all product images. Rectangular images will be padded with white to make them square, which can affect how the product appears in search results. Crop your images to square before uploading.
