Seller spec
Etsy listing image size (2026)
September 2026
Etsy’s seller handbook pushes large, sharp listing images — about 2000 px or more on the longest side for zoom. Search and shop thumbnails crop toward square, so a tight edge crop is a common fail even when the file is big enough. Fernpix checks 2000 px long side, square framing, and an ~8% edge margin so the product survives thumbnail crop.
This page lists the practical numbers, then links to a local checker. Fernpix is independent — Etsy still decides listing quality.
Etsy listing image numbers (handbook tips + Fernpix gate)
| Rule | Number to hit |
|---|---|
| Zoom-ready size | 2000 px or more on the longest side |
| Framing | Square-friendly 1:1 export |
| Thumbnail margin | About 8–12% clearance from edges (Fernpix) |
| Format | JPEG or PNG |
| File size | Typically under 10 MB |
Why thumbnails cut the product
Etsy search cards and shop grids crop toward the center. A product that fills the frame edge-to-edge looks fine on the listing page and loses the top or sides in the thumbnail. Leave intentional white (or clean) margin before you upload.

Size vs sharpness
A 800 px phone crop will upload, but buyers cannot zoom. Shoot or upscale thoughtfully to ~2000 px on the long side, then re-check after compression.
Before you publish on Etsy
- Longest side about 2000 px or more.
- Export true 1:1 with margin around the product.
- JPG or PNG; convert HEIC first.
- Re-check after compression.
FAQ
What size should Etsy listing images be?
Aim for 2000 px or more on the longest side so zoom works. Fernpix also checks square framing and edge margin for thumbnail crop.
Why does my Etsy thumbnail look cropped?
Search and shop cards crop toward square. Leave 8–12% margin so the product stays inside the crop.
