Resize Images for Etsy
Etsy recommends listing photos at least 2000 pixels on the shortest side, and it displays them as squares in the gallery. Photos that are too small look soft when a shopper zooms, and off-square shots get cropped in the thumbnail grid. Resize to a clean square at high resolution so every listing looks sharp.

| Use | Dimensions | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listing photo | 2000 × 2000 px | 1:1 | Etsy wants at least 2000px on the shortest side. Square keeps the gallery crop predictable. |
| Listing thumbnail | 570 × 570 px | 1:1 | Auto-generated from your main photo, so frame the product with margin. |
| Shop icon | 500 × 500 px | 1:1 | The round badge on your shop and listings. |
| Shop cover (large) | 3360 × 840 px | 4:1 | The wide banner at the top of your shop home. |
How it works
Add your product photo
Drop in a JPG or PNG. Processing stays in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded.
Resize to a large square
Set a square target at 2000px or more so shoppers can zoom without the image going soft.
Leave breathing room
Etsy crops the thumbnail from the center. Keep the product away from the edges so nothing important gets clipped.

Tips that make a difference
Shoot and keep it square
A square photo shows the same framing in the grid and on the listing page, so you always know what buyers see first.
Go big for zoom
Etsy zoom rewards resolution. A 2000px+ image lets shoppers inspect texture and detail, which builds buying confidence.
Compress after resizing
Large squares can be heavy. Compress under 1MB to keep your listing loading fast on mobile.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size should Etsy listing photos be?
At least 2000 pixels on the shortest side. A 2000 by 2000 square is a safe, sharp default that matches Etsy's gallery crop.
Why do my Etsy photos look cropped?
Etsy generates square thumbnails from your images. If your product sits near an edge it can get clipped, so leave margin around it.
Are my product photos uploaded to a server?
No. The resize runs entirely in your browser and your images stay on your device.
