Etsy Listing Photo Size Guide

Etsy's photo requirements are more forgiving than Amazon's or TikTok Shop's, but your first listing photo carries real weight in Etsy search — undersize it and your listing can rank lower before a shopper ever sees it.

Etsy listing photo requirements

First photo minimum635 × 635px (below this, search ranking suffers)
Recommended size2000px or larger on the shortest side
Aspect ratio4:3 (landscape) or 1:1 (square)
File sizeEtsy warns that photos over 1MB may fail to upload, especially on a slow connection — keep images around 1–2MB
FormatJPEG, PNG, or GIF (no animated GIFs or transparent PNGs)
Color profilesRGB, to avoid color shifts on Etsy.com
Photos per listingUp to 20 photos, plus one 5–15 second video

Why it matters

Etsy's search algorithm factors in listing quality, and a first photo below 635 × 635px is one of the signals that can push a listing further down the results. A safe, common choice among Etsy sellers is 2000 × 2000px — sharp enough for buyers to zoom in, and large enough that Etsy never has to upscale it.

Snaply doesn't yet export a dedicated Etsy size preset — a general 2000 × 2000px square export is a safe match for Etsy's recommended spec in the meantime.
