Common Etsy Image Problems & Solutions

❌ Problem: Thumbnail Cropping

Your product gets cut off in Etsy's search results, making it hard for customers to see what you're selling.

✅ Solution:

Use our thumbnail-safe cropping tool that automatically adds padding to protect important parts of your image from being cropped.

❌ Problem: Blurry Images

Images appear pixelated or blurry when customers zoom in or view on high-resolution screens.

✅ Solution:

Always use the full 2000×2000 resolution for main images. Etsy will automatically create smaller versions for different views.

❌ Problem: Slow Loading

Large file sizes cause images to load slowly, hurting your search ranking and customer experience.

Optimize your images to be under 5MB while maintaining quality. Use JPEG format for photos and PNG for graphics with transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best image size for Etsy listings?

The best size for Etsy main images is 2000×2000 pixels. This provides high quality for zooming while ensuring fast loading times. Etsy will automatically create smaller versions for different views.

Why are my Etsy thumbnails getting cropped?

Etsy crops images in search results to fit their grid layout. To prevent important parts from being cut off, use our thumbnail-safe cropping feature that adds smart padding around your product.

Can I use images larger than 2000×2000 on Etsy?
