Marketplace guide
eBay is not just about hitting a minimum size. The platform-safe result usually depends on the frame 1:1, the way the product sits inside it, how clean the background feels, and whether the export keeps the listing readable in search and gallery views. This page turns those rules into a practical Picmu setup.

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 tends to keep the listing safer.
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.
Route setup
The linked Picmu route opens with the eBay preset so you can test the frame, background, and safer export setup immediately.
Route 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.
The safer export set here is JPG, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF. File-size guidance: keep the result under 7 MB.
Recommend plain white or neutral background.
Use multiple photos and 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 and 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.
