We all know the saying: a picture speaks a thousand words. And this is never more true than when it comes to ecommerce and selling on marketplaces like Etsy. In fact, according to Etsy, quality product photography is the most influential factor in consumers’ purchase decision, surpassing product cost, shipping cost, and reviews.

To stand out from the noise, and make your voice heard, your product images are of utmost importance.

With nearly 7.5 million active sellers on Etsy, getting customers to stop scrolling is key. And even if you have the most amazing product photos to post on your listings, if they’re not compatible with Etsy photo size requirements, no one will get a chance to see them.

In this post, get a comprehensive guide to Etsy listing photo size and other image requirements.

Etsy photo basics

Before we jump into the juicy stuff, let’s quickly cover some of the basics. As far as universal truths go, Etsy only accepts .jpg, .gif, and .png files, so ensure your product photos are in one of these formats. Animated .gif and transparent .png files aren’t accepted. It will also automatically convert all files to sRGB color mode, so you’ll want to adjust on your end first for best results.

Etsy image size guidelines for 2025

It's important to note that each type of image has its own specific size requirements. So, to make it easier for you to find the info you need, here’s a handy chart and then we’ll go through each size requirement for Etsy product listings down below.

Listing images

Your listing images are extremely important. To ensure a clear, up-close look, use a listing photo that's at least 2000 pixels on the shortest side. This way, when shoppers click the zoom button, the enlarged image will be crystal clear.

Remember, first impressions matter! To set the tone for your product listing, use a photo at least 3000 pixels wide and 2250 pixels tall, in landscape or square orientation. This is the photo shoppers will see when they search for products. It’s also best practice to choose an image that showcases as much as the product or its best feature as much as possible.

Using a landscape or square format will help create a nice cropped thumbnail image that appears in the search results, making it easier to spot. Etsy recommends using the same size and orientation photos for all your listings for a smooth shopping experience.

Shop icon

Your shop icon is essentially a logo for your Etsy store. It’s a small graphic that’s used across different areas of your shop to help build brand awareness and offer an instant way for shoppers to visually identify the merchant.

Profile photo

Your Etsy profile photo is essentially an image of yourself, the shop owner. Etsy is a more personal marketplace, and many shoppers like to know who they’re supporting, and who is physically making the products.

Team logo

Videos

Etsy also allows for the use of video. Product videos can complement the story your photos tell. Videos are a great way to add some action to capture shoppers’ attention!

Resizing your images for Etsy

Once you know what Etsy image sizes you need, you can repurpose and resize the photos you already have and upload them accordingly. Don’t panic just yet—there’s no need for design experience here! To resize your images for your Etsy listings, there are many online sites you can use, ranging from drag-and-drop user-friendly platforms such as Canva, to advanced programs like Adobe Photoshop for the pros. Or you can take advantage of a free tool like our soona image resizer 📏.
