Etsy Image Resizer
Free toolResize a photo for Etsy
Your photo stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there's no limit.
Etsy listing photo size
Etsy recommends listing photos of at least 2,000 px in width and height. Your first photo also needs at least 635 px in width and height, or it can show up lower in search.
Because both sides need 2,000 px, the short side is the one that counts. These are the smallest sizes that meet Etsy's recommendation for common shapes:
| Shape | Smallest size |
|---|---|
| Landscape 4:3 | 2,667 × 2,000 px |
| Landscape 3:2 | 3,000 × 2,000 px |
| Square 1:1 | 2,000 × 2,000 px |
| Portrait 4:5 | 2,000 × 2,500 px |
The resizer above exports listing photos at exactly 2,000 px on the short side. That meets the recommendation and keeps the file small enough to upload easily. A photo with fewer pixels is left at its real size, because stretching it only makes it soft.
What shape should your first Etsy photo be?
Etsy says the first photo in a listing should be landscape or square. In its thumbnail tips Etsy goes further: avoid square crops and upload horizontal photos, because a horizontal photo uses more of the thumbnail frame and a vertical one loses more to the crop.
Your first photo also sets the shape of the photos that follow, and Etsy says photos of the same shape make a more cohesive listing. Pick one shape and use it for every photo in the listing.
That is why the resizer starts on Landscape 4:3. Choose Square if your shop already uses square photos, or Keep my shape to resize without cropping.
Etsy thumbnail size and crops
Your first listing photo is also your thumbnail. Etsy describes the thumbnail as a cropped version of that photo, seen in different places across Etsy. It crops the photo to square, portrait and landscape thumbnails.
Etsy doesn't publish a pixel size or exact shapes for these thumbnails, and you don't upload a separate thumbnail. What you control is the photo itself:
- Leave a border around your item. Etsy asks for enough room that the photo can be cropped to all three shapes without losing part of the product.
- Shoot further back than you think you need. Then you can crop in without cutting off your item.
- Crop first, then adjust the thumbnail. When you edit a listing, choose Adjust Thumbnail, zoom with the slider, and position the photo so your item is clear in all 3 views. Etsy suggests cropping before you adjust the thumbnail, because cropping changes how it looks.
The thumbnail preview in the tool above shows square, portrait and landscape crops of your photo before you upload it. Square is exact. Portrait and landscape are examples, since Etsy doesn't give their proportions.
Etsy image file size and file types
Etsy notes that images over 1 MB may not finish uploading, especially on a slow connection. The resizer saves a JPG and lowers its quality in small steps until the file is under 1 MB. It tells you if a photo is still over at the lowest quality it uses.
- File types. Etsy accepts .jpg, .gif, .png, .svg and .heic files. Animated GIFs aren't supported.
- Transparency. Transparent parts of an image show up black on Etsy. The resizer fills them with white.
- Color. Etsy converts images to sRGB. If your colors look wrong after uploading, convert the photo to sRGB first.
- Compression. Etsy compresses photos after upload, so they can look a little softer than your file. Start from a sharp photo.
Resize or upscale?
Etsy explains the difference itself. Making an image smaller doesn't lower its resolution. Making it bigger can lose resolution and cause pixelation.
- Your photo is 2,000 px or more on its short side: resize it here. You keep every bit of sharpness and get a smaller file.
- Your photo is smaller: the resizer keeps it at its real size. To add pixels, try the free Etsy Image Upscaler, which doubles a photo's width and height with AI.
- You need a banner: the Etsy Banner Maker designs one from your shop name at Etsy's exact banner size. This resizer also crops a photo to the banner, shop icon and profile photo sizes.

Etsy recommends listing photos of at least 2,000 px in width and height. Your first photo needs at least 635 px in width and height, or it can show up lower in search. A 4:3 landscape photo that meets the recommendation is 2,667 × 2,000 px.
Etsy doesn't publish a pixel size for thumbnails, and you don't upload one. The thumbnail is a crop of your first listing photo, and Etsy crops it to square, portrait and landscape in different places. Upload a first photo of at least 2,000 px with room around your item, then use Adjust Thumbnail when you edit the listing to check all 3 views.
Etsy says the first photo should be landscape or square, and its thumbnail tips favor landscape, because a horizontal photo uses more of the thumbnail frame. Your first photo also sets the shape of the photos after it, so keep them all the same shape.
Yes, with no account and no limit. Your photo is resized in your browser and never uploaded, so it costs us nothing to run.
Not when you make it smaller. Etsy notes that decreasing an image's size doesn't lower its resolution, while increasing it can cause pixelation. That is why the resizer never enlarges a listing photo. If your photo is under 2,000 px, use the Etsy Image Upscaler to add pixels.
Under 1 MB. Etsy notes that images over 1 MB may not finish uploading, especially on a slow connection. The resizer saves a JPG and lowers its quality in small steps until it is under 1 MB, and tells you if it can't get there.
PNG, JPG and WebP photos up to 20 MB. The download is always a JPG. Transparent areas become white, because Etsy shows transparency as black.
Yes. Choose a shop banner, the shop icon or the profile photo under What is it for, and the crop takes Etsy's exact size. The Etsy Banner Resizer page covers every banner size in detail.
