Etsy Listing Image Checker

What Etsy actually requires

• At least 2000 px wide and 2000 px tall. This is the headline requirement and the one most photos fail.
• JPG, GIF, PNG, SVG or HEIC — but not animated GIFs and not transparent PNGs.
• Around 1 MB or less. Etsy warns that larger files may not finish uploading.
• Works in several crops. Etsy displays listing images differently in different places, so nothing important should sit near the edges.

The transparent-PNG trap

If you design mockups or flat-lays in a tool that exports with a transparent background, the file will still upload — but Etsy does not support transparency in listing images, so what buyers see may not be what you intended. This checker reads the alpha channel and tells you before you list. To flatten it onto a solid background, run it through the image converter and export as JPG, choosing the background colour.

Sizing up, not down

If your photo is under 2000 px, do not simply enlarge it — that invents pixels and looks soft. Re-export from the original at a larger size instead. If you need to change dimensions on a photo that is already big enough, use the image resizer.
