AI-created examples illustrating composition and review points.
How do Amazon and Shopify main-image requirements differ?
| Parameter | Amazon US MAIN image | Shopify product image |
|---|---|---|
| Background RGB | General MAIN rule: pure white #FFFFFF / 255,255,255; limited category exceptions | Editorial guidance: match the theme and series; pure white is not a platform-wide rule |
| Product fill | MAIN rule: product fills 85%, entirely in frame; check category details | Editorial guidance: consistent scale and margins; do not apply Amazon’s 85% rule |
| Dimensions and recommended size | General specification: 500–10,000px long edge; 1,000+px recommended and enables zoom | Official square-image suggestion: 2048×2048px; maximum 5000×5000px or 25MP |
| Props and text | Show the sold item and included accessories; no promotional text, decorative logos or misleading props | Editorial guidance: brand-led layout; copy and props should not confuse what is included |
| Format and file | JPEG recommended; PNG, TIFF and non-animated GIF accepted; check actual file type | PNG preferred, then JPEG; product images under 20MB; see the official list for other formats |

FAQ
Do both Amazon and Shopify require pure white?
Amazon US general MAIN rules require RGB 255,255,255, with limited exceptions covered by category guides. Shopify product images may follow the store theme; keep the series aspect ratio consistent.
Is 1600px the minimum for every product image?
No. Amazon’s current general specification is a 500–10,000px long edge, with 1,000+px recommended to enable zoom; follow any category-specific requirements. Shopify suggests 2048×2048px for squares. These are not a shared minimum.
How do I fix a 252,252,250 background?
Select the background in an image editor, fill #FFFFFF, inspect contact edges, export and resample. Preserve product material and highlights rather than whitening the item itself.
