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 Etsy guide covering 2000 x 2000, 1:1, JPG, and the mistakes that weaken listing photos.
Instead of a generic resize flow, the page starts from 2000 x 2000, the 1:1 frame, and the export treatment that usually fits the listing best.
Keep the first listing photo at least 635 px wide and high so it does not appear lower in search.
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 2000 x 2000 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, PNG, GIF. This project does not hardcode a strict file-size cap for this platform.
No strict white-background rule; prioritize a clean composition that works in thumbnails.
Keep the same shape across listing photos for a more cohesive browsing experience.
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.
If a category has its own exception path, do not let a general preset overwrite it.
Tradeoffs
Warn if important detail sits too close to crop edges.
Keep the same shape across listing photos for a more cohesive browsing experience.
Accepted formats like JPG, PNG, GIF matter, but the frame, background, and product fill usually do just as much work.
Guide
Working size: 2000 x 2000. Primary frame: 1:1. Preferred format: JPG. Verified: 2026-04-11.
Start from the platform frame, keep the whole product visible, enable the safe-area overlay, and only then tighten whitespace or file size.
Warn if important detail sits too close to crop edges. Prefer centered composition that still reads clearly as a thumbnail.
