How to Size Photos for Etsy Listings

Etsy asks for images at least 2000 px and recommends 2700 px on the long edge, displayed best as a square. Because Etsy crops to fill its tiles, what you upload square is what buyers see. Here is how to size for maximum shelf-appeal.

The short version

Follow the steps below with the free Resize Image tool — it runs entirely in your browser, needs no upload, account or watermark, and finishes in about a minute.

Step by step

1
Crop 1:1

Frame the item square with breathing room so Etsy’s tile crops do not amputate it.

2
Resize to 2700×2700

Hits the recommendation; stays sharp in zoom and on retina grids.

3
Lead with the hero shot

Etsy’s first image is the search thumbnail — make it the clearest, most appealing angle.

4
Export JPG

High-quality JPG keeps a 2700 px image loadable.

Pro tips & common mistakes

  • Leave a little margin around the product — Etsy tiles crop aggressively on mobile.
  • Use the extra slots for scale shots, details and lifestyle context.
  • Bright, true-to-life colour beats heavy filters on handmade marketplaces.
