This tool saves each photo as a JPG under that size. **Is JPG accepted on BigCommerce?** Yes. The formats BigCommerce lists are JPEG, GIF, WEBP, and PNG. **Does compressing for BigCommerce change the pixel size?** Only when lowering the quality is not enough to get under 8 MB. The rules checked here state no minimum pixel size, so the tool stops before the photo falls under a quarter of its original width. **Where do these figures come from?** From BigCommerce Help Center — Adding Products (v3); How Products Work; Platform Limits; Optimizing Your Images; Adjusting Your Store Image Settings; Troubleshooting Your Store Images; Importing Product Variants, Images, and Other Complex Attributes; BigCommerce Developer Docs — Create Product Image, read on 12 October 2026.
