FAQ

What size should an Etsy listing image be?

Etsy recommends at least 2000 px and a square (1:1) primary image so it crops cleanly across Etsy's surfaces.

Does Etsy require a white background?

No. Unlike Amazon or Walmart, Etsy does not mandate a background colour — it gives best-practice photo guidance, so a clean, well-lit background is recommended but not required.

Why won't my Etsy image upload?

Etsy warns that images larger than about 1 MB may not finish uploading, especially on slower connections. Resize and compress under ~1 MB. Transparent PNGs and animated GIFs are not supported.
