Etsy photo guidelines at a glance
- Etsy recommends large photos, around 2,000 px on the shortest side, so they look sharp when zoomed.
- The first photo becomes your thumbnail; keep the product centred so it survives the crop.
- Any background is allowed. A plain, light background keeps the focus on the product.
- Use the same background style across listings for a consistent shop.
