Does Amazon require a white background for all product images?

A pure white RGB(255, 255, 255) background is mandatory for the main product image. Secondary images can use lifestyle backgrounds, infographics, or other settings.

What is the minimum image size for Amazon product listings?

The minimum is 1000 x 1000 pixels on the longest side. Amazon recommends 2000 x 2000 pixels to enable the zoom function, which can increase conversions.

Can I use a transparent background on Amazon?

No. Amazon does not support transparent backgrounds. If you upload a PNG with transparency, the background may render as black or grey. Always use a solid white background.

Will Amazon reject my listing if the background is slightly off-white?

Yes. Amazon uses automated image checks and can suppress listings where the background is not pure white. Even a few RGB values off can trigger rejection.

How many images can I upload per Amazon listing?

You can upload up to 9 images per listing: 1 main image (white background required) and 8 additional images where you can use lifestyle shots, infographics, and comparison images.

Does Amazon allow text or logos on product images?

Text, logos, watermarks, and promotional badges are not allowed on the main image. Secondary images may include limited text for infographics and feature callouts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

MISTAKE:Off-white background (not pure #FFFFFF) causing listing suppression

FIX:Use Backgroundless to set an exact RGB(255, 255, 255) white background instead of relying on studio lighting.

MISTAKE:Image resolution below 1000 px on the longest side

FIX:Start with a high-resolution source image. Amazon requires at least 1000 px and recommends 2000 px to enable the zoom feature.

MISTAKE:Product fills less than 85% of the frame leaving excessive white space

FIX:Crop tightly around the product after background removal, ensuring it occupies at least 85% of the image area.
