How to Resize for eBay Listings Free
Upload your product photo to imgresizr.com. Crop to 1:1 square — eBay displays square thumbnails in search results. Resize to 1600×1600 pixels minimum. This activates eBay's zoom feature, which lets buyers hover to see product details. Download as JPG at 90% quality. File size should be under 5MB — well within eBay's 12MB limit.
eBay Category-Specific Image Rules
- Clothing: must show the garment laid flat or on a model
- Electronics: show all angles — front, back, ports, labels
- Used items: photograph any flaws clearly and prominently
- All categories: white or light background required for main image
eBay Image Quality Tips
- Natural daylight gives the most accurate colour representation
- Use a lightbox or white card as backdrop for small products
- Iron or steam clothing before photographing
- Clean products thoroughly before shooting — dust and fingerprints show at zoom
