eBay Photo Size and Resizer
Drop in a photo and get a perfectly sized eBay image back, cropped to square 1:1 (zoom-ready) at 1600 by 1600 pixels. Free, runs in your browser, and nothing leaves your device.
What size should eBay photos be?
The recommended eBay photo size is 1600 by 1600 pixels (square 1:1 (zoom-ready)). eBay needs at least 500 px on the longest side, but 1600 px is the number that unlocks the zoom and enlarge feature buyers rely on.
The smallest size eBay accepts is around 500 px on the longest side, but bigger and sharper always looks better in the feed.
How to resize a photo for eBay
Drag a photo into the tool above, pick the eBay size you want, then download the result. The resizer crops to the right shape and pads the edges where needed so nothing important gets cut off.
Everything happens in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded to a server and there is no watermark on the file you download.
eBay photo requirements and limits
You can add up to 24 photos free, and the first photo is held to the strictest rules, so make the gallery image clean and full-frame. eBay blocks borders, added text, watermarks and seller logos on photos, so keep the frame to the item alone.
Accepted formats: JPEG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, GIF, TIFF, BMP. Keep each file under about 12 MB.
Why clean, correctly sized photos sell faster on eBay
On eBay, the first photo is the thumbnail a buyer taps, so a sharp, correctly sized image on a tidy background gets more clicks than a dim snap on a messy floor.
Once your photo is sized, you can make the item itself look professionally shot while keeping it exactly as it is, same colour, fabric, prints and logos, with TidyPhotosUp.

Frequently asked questions

You can add up to 24 photos to a single eBay listing, so show the item from several angles and include any labels or flaws.
What aspect ratio does eBay use?+
eBay displays photos as square 1:1 (zoom-ready), so cropping to that shape stops the platform from cutting your image awkwardly.
Does resizing reduce photo quality?+
Cropping and padding to the right shape keeps quality high. Problems only appear if you stretch a tiny image up, so start from the largest, sharpest photo you have.
