Image sizes and requirements for marketplaces

Please see below a list of the required image sizes and formats for the most popular marketplaces.

Google Shopping Feed Image Requirements #

Use a solid white or transparent background. These background colors ensure that your image works with a variety of design elements.

Frame your product in the image space so that it takes up no less than 75%, but not more than 90%, of the full image.

Meet these image size requirements:

  • Non-apparel images: at least 100 x 100 pixels
  • Apparel images: at least 250 x 250 pixels
  • No image larger than 64 megapixels
  • No image file larger than 16M

The higher the image resolution the better. We suggest using images 800×800 pixels or larger.
