Etsy Listing Image Size Guide (2026)

Recommended Etsy listing image size

Etsy recommends that listing photos have a width and height of at least 2000 pixels or more. This gives shoppers a clearer view of the product and helps preserve image quality after upload.

Etsy also states that the first listing photo should have a width and height of at least 635 pixels to avoid showing up lower in searches.

Best image orientation for Etsy listings

Etsy recommends that the first photo in a listing should be horizontal or square. This helps the center focal point appear properly in cropped thumbnail views.

Etsy also notes that using the same shape for all listing photos can create a more cohesive browsing experience.

Supported Etsy image file types

Etsy supports the following image file types for shop images:

• JPG
• GIF
• PNG
• SVG
• HEIC

Etsy does not support animated GIF files or transparent PNG files. If a file contains transparency, the transparent areas may appear black on Etsy.

File size and color guidance

Etsy notes that images larger than 1 MB may not finish uploading, especially on slower internet connections.

Etsy also recommends converting images to the sRGB color profile if colors appear incorrect after upload.
