What are the Amazon main image requirements?
The Amazon main image must sit on a pure white background, show the product clearly and completely, carry no promotional text, and export at enough resolution for useful zoom (typically 2000 × 2000 px). Start every pack by locking the main image to those rules before adding lifestyle images.
A compliant main image is the single highest-leverage asset in an Amazon listing.
- Check background color
- Inspect product coverage
- Review small text and logos
What should the supporting gallery include?
The supporting gallery should explain scale, ingredients, use, packaging, and important product details with accurate, category-appropriate claims. Secondary images turn a compliant hero into a listing that answers buyer questions.

- Use-case images
