Small images lose detail

Etsy listing images need enough resolution to survive search thumbnails, listing pages, and zoomed views. If the original file is small, the image may look soft after Etsy resizes it.

Thumbnails need clear framing

A product that fills too little of the frame can feel weak in search results. A product that touches the edges can feel cramped after cropping.

Before you upload

Use a high-resolution image with the product centered and enough margin. ImageCompat can help you check file type, size, and basic framing risk before upload.
