“Pad on white” keeps your photo's own background. For a true pure-white Amazon main image or AI lifestyle scenes, use the ListingShot studio.

Keep the product in the centre

Etsy crops thumbnails to different shapes depending on where they appear. Keep the product inside the middle two-thirds of the frame so nothing important is cut off in search results or on mobile.

FAQ

What is the best size for Etsy listing photos?

Use at least 2,000 px on the shortest side. A square 2000×2000 or landscape 2700×2025 (4:3) image works well.

Does Etsy require a white background?

No. Any clean background works; consistency across your shop matters more.

Why are my Etsy thumbnails cut off?

Etsy crops thumbnails. Keep the product centred with space around it and use a square or 4:3 first photo.
