Use this free tool to check a photo before you upload it to Etsy. It reads the image size, shape, file type and file size, then compares them with Etsy’s guidance. Your photo never leaves your device.
Etsy Image Size Checker
Checks your photo against Etsy’s image guidance: at least 2000 x 2000 px recommended, first photo at least 635 px, supported file types, and about 1 MB or less. Your photo stays on your device and is never uploaded.
Based on Etsy’s Help Center article “Requirements and Best Practices for Images in Your Etsy Shop”, checked October 2026. HEIC files may not preview in every browser, so the checker may not read their size.

Etsy Image Size Checker FAQ
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The checker reads the image in your browser only. Nothing is uploaded or saved.
What is the minimum size for an Etsy listing photo?
Etsy says your first listing photo should be at least 635 pixels wide and tall to avoid showing up lower in search, and recommends at least 2000 pixels for best quality.
Why does my PNG look black on Etsy?
Etsy does not support transparent PNGs. Transparent areas show up black, so add a background before uploading.
