How it works
Set 2000 × 2000
Pre-filled. Square sources stay square; everything else scales down proportionally, never up.
Download and upload to Etsy
Etsy’s first image is the one that shows in search — make sure it is square and at least 2000px on the long edge.
Questions
What size should Etsy listing images be?
Etsy recommends at least 2000px on the shortest side, and shows images up to 2000×2000. Anything smaller looks soft when a buyer clicks to zoom.
Why are my Etsy thumbnails cropped weirdly?
Etsy crops the search thumbnail to a square from the centre of your image. If your photo is 4:3 or 16:9, the edges get cut. Exporting a square version avoids it.
Does this upload my product photos?
No. All processing happens in your browser tab. The only server that ever sees your files is Etsy, when you upload them yourself.
Can I resize to a different Etsy size?
Yes. Change the two number fields before processing — 1000×1000, 1500×1500, anything you need.
Etsy listing image rules
Etsy has hard rules beyond size. Violating the first-image policy gets listings suppressed, which hurts far more than a soft photo.
| Case | Value | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Recommended size | 2000 px shortest side | Etsy shows up to 2000 × 2000. Smaller images look soft on zoom. |
| Images per listing | 10 | Ten slots. The first is the search thumbnail and must be square-safe. |
| Thumbnail crop | Square, centre | Etsy centre-crops your first image for search. Design with that crop in mind. |
| First image policy | No added text, no logos, no watermarks | Clear photos only. Violations can get the listing pushed down in search. |
| Video | 5–15 s, up to 100 MB | Optional but measurably improves conversion. |
| File format | JPEG or PNG | Etsy does not accept WebP uploads. |
Five mistakes that waste the most time
Putting brand text on the main image
Etsy explicitly disallows text and watermarks on the primary photo. Use images 2–10 for that.
Uploading 1000 px photos
Below the 2000 px recommendation the zoom view is soft, and buyers read softness as cheapness.
Ignoring the square thumbnail crop
A 4:3 photo loses its left and right edges in search results. Put the product dead centre.
Photographing on a cluttered background
Etsy search is a wall of thumbnails. High contrast and a clean background win clicks more than anything technical.
Using all 10 slots for near-identical angles
Use them for scale, detail, packaging, and use-in-context shots instead.

More questions
Can I put my shop name on Etsy listing photos?
Not on the primary image. Etsy prohibits text, logos and watermarks on the first photo. Later images can carry branding.
What is the Etsy "image too small" error?
Etsy flags images below its recommended dimensions. Upload at least 2000 px on the shortest side to avoid it.
Does Etsy compress uploaded images?
Yes, and it generates several responsive sizes. Starting at 2000 px with quality 88 leaves headroom for that re-encode.
Should I use square or rectangular photos?
Square is safest because both the search thumbnail and the gallery crop are square. Portrait 4:5 can work but the thumbnail crop will surprise you.
Need more than 20 at a time?
