Amazon image size and format requirements

Short answer: Amazon images need a longest side of at least 500 px. Staff posts conflict on the larger numbers, so we flag 1000 px as the level where zoom works and treat 1600 px as the recommended size. Accepted formats are JPEG, PNG. Smaller files fail outright, mid-sized files get a warning, and the checker lists the exact numbers it measured.

Amazon staff statements on image size do not agree with each other. We therefore keep three tiers: a hard minimum, a level where zoom works, and a recommended size. The tiers below show which one each number belongs to.

    Longest side at least 500 px

    Why: One Amazon staff post gives 500 px on the longest side as the minimum resolution (another post says 1000 px for zoom, see the zoom rule).

    How to fix: Re-export from the original file at a larger size; do not upscale a small image.
