Product Photo Guidelines

Images Specs.

Please upload high quality product photos that are cropped be cropped to square (1:1). Recommended dimensions are 800 x 800px. Please upload photos in full color without dramatic filters. Color should look realistic and similar to how your product appears in person.

  • 800 x 800px
  • Full Color
  • No dramatic filters

Photo staging:

Product photos should be uncluttered and avoid any extraneous details. The product should be large, in focus, and the main (preferably the only) subject. If other items are featured in the photo they should only be used to show scale/quantity/packaging. Consider setting these more specific photos as secondary images.

Below are are examples of successful product photos:

Product is in full view and is the only subject. Bundles are shown to depict unit quantity.

Thumbs-up for close-ups! Just make sure these detailed shots show your product in full.

Showing products in their packaging help customers understand unit size/quantity.

Product Photo Don'ts:

When uploading product photos please avoid:

  • Dramatic filters or black and white images
  • Pixellated or low quality photos
  • Distracting details or background
  • People or animals (unless they help convey information about your product)

Below are examples of unsuccessful product photos:

Extra subjects distract from main product.

Black and white. What's the product? Broccoli? Mushroom? Pizza peel?

Showing products in their packaging help customers understand unit size/quantity.

Example: Coffee Beans

One more example of do's and don'ts before you're off!

Not quite! The product, coffee beans, isn't quite the main subject in this photo. Black and white filter also doesn't quite make the cut.

Again, a little distracting. The extra details aren't letting our product shine!

That's the ticket! Coffee Beans are shown as the only subject, in their packaging, and the form in which they will be delivered! Thumbs up!
