How to use it
Same rule, different jobs per image
Every image in an Amazon listing must pass the same technical window: 500–10,000 px on the longest side, with 1000+ recommended so zoom works. What differs is the job each slot does. The main image carries the white-background and 85%-fill rules because it appears in search results; the remaining slots can show the product in use, scale, angles and details, as long as the photo stays accurate to the listing. When you drop a photo here, the checker verifies the size and format. For the composition rules, keep your main image clean and use the later slots for lifestyle and detail shots.

Practical guide
Plan the image set like a story
- Slot 1 wins the click. The main image is your ad in search results. Pure white background, product at 85% fill, no props or text — this is the image shoppers compare across listings.
- Use later slots for proof. Secondary images are where buyers look for scale, material, back views and the product in use. Keep them accurate — mismatched images are a top reason for returns and complaints.
- Keep the file names clean. For bulk uploads, name every image product ID + variant code + extension. Alternate views use PT01–PT99; multi-packs use DTLS.
- Don't add Amazon's branding. Amazon logos, badges like "Amazon's Choice", "Prime" or "Best Seller" on images are prohibited, as are review quotes and ratings.
Amazon may modify or remove submitted images that do not meet its standards, and listings without a compliant main image can be suppressed from search results entirely until a valid one is uploaded. That makes the main image a search-eligibility issue, not just a quality issue. Secondary images follow the same 500–10,000 px window but can carry more context: packaging, scale, materials and in-use shots are allowed there, as long as they stay accurate to the product and contain no review quotes, ratings, claims or Amazon branding. A practical workflow is to check the main image first with this tool, then spot-check the gallery with the same size rule before scheduling a batch upload.
