Marketplace guide
Meeting the minimum size is only part of the job. What matters just as much is the 1:1 frame, how the product sits inside it, how clean the background looks, and whether the final image stays readable in search and gallery views. This page turns that into a usable Picmu workflow.

Benefits
A practical eBay guide covering 1600 x 1600, 1:1, JPG, and the mistakes that weaken listing photos.
Instead of a generic resize flow, the page starts from 1600 x 1600, the 1:1 frame, and the export treatment that usually fits the listing best.
Minimum 500 px on the longest side.
You can test background treatment, whitespace, and file naming locally in the browser without pushing product photos into a remote queue.
Page setup

Page defaults
The practical starting point here is 1600 x 1600 with the 1:1 frame, so you can judge the listing before the final export rather than after it.
A dependable export set here is JPG, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF. File-size guidance: keep the result under 7 MB.
Use a plain white or neutral background.
Use multiple photos with clear detail angles.
Capability notes
This preset is marked verified as of 2026-04-11 based on the rules documented in this project.
Picmu can judge dimensions, format choice, background treatment, crop risk, and thumbnail strength from the file and the current settings. Real uploader acceptance should still be checked with one reference file.
No added text, artwork, or marketing material.
Tradeoffs
Warn below 500 px on longest side.
Use multiple photos with clear detail angles.
Accepted formats like JPG, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF matter, but the frame, background, and product fill usually do just as much work.
