The Zoom Feature: Why 2000×2000px Matters
Amazon's zoom feature — where buyers hover to see close-up product detail — only activates when images are at least 1000px on the shortest side. Research shows that zoom-enabled product listings convert at significantly higher rates. At 2000×2000px, buyers get detailed zoom at 2:1 magnification — seeing individual stitching, texture, and finish details.
How to Prepare Amazon Product Images

- Resize to 2000×2000 pixels
