The requirements in one table

These are the values Amazon publishes and sellers see enforced. The authoritative page lives inside Seller Central, and individual categories add their own style guides — check yours before a big upload.

What	Requirement	Why it matters
Minimum size	1000 px on the longest side	Below this, zoom does not switch on
Recommended size	1600 px or more	2000–3000 px is the safe range
Main image background	Pure white, RGB 255, 255, 255	Near-white can be flagged
Product in frame	85% of the frame or more	So it reads as a thumbnail
File formats	JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF	JPEG is the usual choice
Colour space	sRGB or CMYK	sRGB is safer for the web
Shape	Square, 1:1 — recommended	Amazon does not state a required ratio
On the main image	No text, logos, watermarks or borders	Only the product itself

What to put in each slot

Most categories give nine slots and show seven. The order below is the one that answers a buyer's questions in the order they ask them.

Main image

Product on pure white, filling the frame. This is the one that has to earn the click in search results, so it is worth generating several variants and testing them.

Specification infographic

The numbers a buyer looks for — material, size, power, capacity — as callouts on the image. Most shoppers never open the bullet points, so the specs have to be visible as a picture.

Scale

The product next to something familiar, or with dimensions drawn on. Wrong-size expectations are a leading cause of returns.

In use

The product in the situation it is bought for. This is the slot that answers «will this work for me», which text cannot do.

Detail

A close crop of what the buyer worries about: the stitching, the thread, the hinge, the texture of the fabric.

What is in the box

Everything the parcel contains, laid out. It removes the question before it becomes a message to you.

Five reasons images get rejected

A background that is not quite white

The most common one. A studio shot on «white» paper is usually 248–252, not 255, and the automated check sees the difference even when your eye does not.

The product too small in the frame

Formally allowed, commercially fatal: in search results your image is about 180 pixels wide, and a small product turns into a grey speck.

Text or a badge on the main image

«Best seller», «50% off», a logo bar, a discount sticker — all of it belongs on the other slots, never on the main image.

A render or illustration instead of the product

The main image has to be the actual item. Drawings, mock-ups and placeholders are grounds for suppression.

Resolution under 1000 px

The listing stays up, but zoom never switches on — and on a desktop, zoom is how people inspect what they are about to buy.

How to get the whole set from one photo

A listing is not one picture but a set, and shooting a set is where the cost sits. Renolvo builds the set from a single photo of the product.

Upload one photo

A phone shot is enough. The AI reads what the product is, what it is made of and how it should be shown.

Confirm the details

It asks only about what it cannot see for itself — composition, size, who the product is for. «I don't know» is a valid answer.

Take the set

The main image, the specification infographic, the scenes. Each frame comes in several variants, and you keep the ones you want.

One finished image starts at $0.54, a complete set for one product starts at $3.00. No subscription and no monthly minimum: money sits on your balance until you spend it, so a single image is a perfectly normal thing to buy.

Frequently asked questions

How many images can an Amazon listing have?

Most categories give you nine image slots, and seven of them show by default on desktop. Some categories allow fewer. Treat the first six as the ones that do the work: after that, shoppers rarely keep clicking.

What size should Amazon listing images be?

The longest side must be at least 1000 pixels, otherwise the zoom function does not switch on. Amazon recommends 1600 pixels or more, and in practice 2000 to 3000 pixels on the longest side is the safe range for a sharp result on a phone screen.

Does the main image have to be on a pure white background?

Yes. The main image needs a pure white background — RGB 255, 255, 255. Nearly white is not the same thing: values such as 253, 253, 253 can be flagged by the automated checks. The other slots are free: there you can use scenes, colour, and text.

Can I put text or a logo on the image?

Not on the main image: no text, no logos, no watermarks, no inset images, no props that are not part of what you sell. On the remaining slots text is not only allowed but expected — that is where the specification infographic lives.

What does a full set of listing images cost with Renolvo?

One finished image starts at $0.54, and a complete set for one product starts at $3.00. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum: you pay for the images you generate, and your balance never expires. New accounts get 500 free tokens to start.

Will the generated images pass Amazon's checks?

The main image is produced on a pure white background at the required resolution, so it meets the formal requirements. Nobody can promise a decision by Amazon's automated review in advance: category style guides differ, and the rules change. Check the result against your own category's guide before publishing.
