Etsy image requirements
Etsy displays listing photos in a 4:3 landscape frame. We resize to 3,000 × 2,250, which is the 4:3 size Etsy recommends for sharp display on large screens.
Search results show a cropped thumbnail from the centre of the first photo, so keep the subject centred and leave margin on the left and right.
You can add up to 20 photos per listing. Use the first for a clear product shot and the rest for detail, scale, variations and the item in use.
Tip
Etsy shoppers respond to natural light and context, so use the resizer's Fit mode with a soft off-white background rather than forcing pure white.

Frequently asked questions
What size should Etsy listing photos be?
+
Etsy recommends images about 3,000 pixels wide in a 4:3 landscape shape. That keeps them sharp on large and high-density screens while staying within file size limits.
How many photos can I add to an Etsy listing?
+
Up to 20. The first photo drives search clicks, so make it clear and well framed, then use the rest for detail, scale and lifestyle shots.
Does Etsy crop my photos?
+
Search thumbnails are cropped from the centre of the first photo. Keep the product centred with margin on the sides so nothing important is cut off.
Does Etsy require a white background?
+
No. Etsy does not require a white background, and many successful listings use natural or styled backgrounds. Keep the product clearly visible.
