# Check your photo against eBay's rules.

eBay sets rules for the main image that can be measured from the photo: cut-off edges. Drop a photo to see which ones it meets. It runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

## Choose a marketplace and a photo.

Rules come from each marketplace's own help pages, summarised in the [guides](https://herofab.app/guides/) (checked 10 October 2026). Size, file size and format are checked as well.

## What eBay asks for.

- **Main image:** The whole product in frame, nothing cut off (recommended)
- **Minimum:** 500 × 500 pixels
- **Recommended:** About 1,600 × 1,600 pixels; 1:1 or 16:9 aspect ratios look best
- **File size:** Up to 12 MB each
- **Formats:** JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, WEBP, HEIC or AVIF
- **Number:** At least one picture, up to 24
- **Not allowed:** Badges, logos, copyright notices or watermarks added to the image
- **Main image:** The first picture is the main photo and appears in search results; it should show the whole item face-on
- **Background:** A neutral backdrop in an uncluttered space; white backgrounds are generally best, a darker one may work better for shiny or reflective items
- **Used items:** A catalogue or stock photo cannot be used when the item is listed as used
- **Bundles:** For a bundle the main photo should show all items for sale; for a single item it should not include any variations

## How each rule is measured.

- **Cut-off edges:** A product whose outline reaches the edge of the frame is reported as cut off, together with the edges it touches.
- **Scene photos:** Room and lifestyle photos have no plain background to measure against, so fill, edges and shadow are marked as not measured rather than guessed.

## eBay main images, answered.

**Can the product touch the edge of the frame on eBay?**

The whole product in frame, nothing cut off (recommended). A photo in which the product reaches the edge is reported as cut off.

**Where do these figures come from?**

From eBay Help — Adding pictures to your listings, read on 10 October 2026. Marketplaces update their rules; the [official page](https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/listings/creating-managing-listings/add-pictures?id=4148) is the final reference.

**Is my image uploaded?**

No. The file is read and processed inside your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
