Resize Images for Amazon Product Listings
Amazon requires product images to be at least 1000x1000 pixels for zoom functionality, with the main image on a pure white background. ImageGates resizes your product photos to meet Amazon's strict image requirements for maximum listing quality.
Amazon product image requirements
Amazon enforces its main-image rules automatically and suppresses listings that break them. The main image must be on a pure white background and the product must fill at least 85% of the frame.
Exact specifications:
- Recommended: 2000×2000 px (enables zoom)
- Minimum longest side: 1600 px for zoom, 1000 px accepted
- Maximum: 10000 px longest side
- Main image background: pure white, RGB 255,255,255
- Formats: JPEG (preferred), TIFF, PNG, GIF
What causes a rejected or degraded result:
- Props, packaging or hands in the main image, which Amazon flags.
- Watermarks, borders or promotional text on the main image — an automatic suppression.
- An off-white studio background: a light grey reads as dirty against Amazon's white page.
Preparation order that avoids rework:
- Remove the background and set it to pure white with the background remover.
- Crop so the product fills 85% or more of the frame.
- Resize to 2000×2000 px and export as sRGB JPEG.
Secondary images may show lifestyle scenes, infographics and scale references — only the main image is restricted.
