Key Takeaways

Actionable points curated for this category.

01

Background & composition

Use clean, neutral backgrounds; main images often require pure white. Center the product, fill 85–95% of frame, avoid borders, watermarks, text, or stickers. Lock consistent crop margins across SKUs.

02

Dimensions & formats

Maintain a master at 3000–4000 px on the long edge; export per channel. Use sRGB JPEG (quality 80–90). Amazon zoom requires 1600 px+ on the longest side. DPI is irrelevant for web; focus on pixel count.

03

Lighting & color accuracy

Light with soft, even 5000–5600K sources (CRI 95+). Use a gray card and color checker for reference, set a custom white balance, and calibrate displays monthly. Embed sRGB and avoid heavy color grading.

04

Angles, coverage & styling

Minimum set: hero/front, three‑quarter, back, key details, scale reference, and packaging/in‑the‑box. For textiles, add on‑model and fabric macro. Keep styling truthful; lifestyle images belong in secondary slots if allowed.

05

Naming, metadata & delivery

Name files predictably: SKU_variant_view.jpg (e.g., ABC123_red_front.jpg). Write concise, descriptive alt text. Strip sensitive EXIF; store shot notes in your DAM. Deliver channel‑specific exports from one approved master.

06

QA & compliance workflow

Use a preflight checklist for background, crop, focus, dust, color cast, moiré, artifacts, and file specs. Validate marketplace rules before upload, batch‑check sizes, and archive RAW files with sidecars for traceability.
