## United Kingdom, answered.

**Can I check my images before uploading?**

Yes. The free [image size checker](https://herofab.app/tools/image-size-checker) reads each file in your browser and tests it against these rules; the image is not uploaded.

**Where do these figures come from?**

From each marketplace's own seller pages, linked in the table above; every guide shows the day its rules were read. Marketplaces update their rules; the official page is the final reference.
