What size should an Etsy listing image be?
Etsy shows your primary listing photo as a square thumbnail, so a 1:1 mockup is the safest default — your design stays centered and nothing important gets cropped. Etsy accepts larger source images and resizes them, so the priority is the right aspect ratio and a clean, high-enough resolution.
Listing photos are screen images, not print files, so DPI does not matter here — only the pixel dimensions and the aspect ratio do. If you also sell the design as a physical print, see the print-on-demand size cheatsheet for the print-file figures.
| Use case | Recommended size | Aspect | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listing image (square) | 2000×2000px · 72 PPI | 1:1 | At least 2000px on the shortest side. First photo at least 635px wide. Etsy warns that images over 1MB may not finish uploading. |

FAQ
What aspect ratio do Etsy listing images use?
Etsy displays listing thumbnails as squares, so a square (1:1) mockup is the safest choice for your primary image. Etsy also supports landscape images; we verify the exact current recommended pixel dimensions against Etsy’s own seller documentation before publishing a preset.
Does DPI matter for Etsy listing photos?
No. A listing photo is only ever shown on a screen, so what counts is the pixel dimensions and the aspect ratio, not the DPI tag in the file. DPI only becomes relevant for the print file you send to a print-on-demand partner.
How do I make Etsy-ready mockups for free?
Upload your design to our t-shirt, wall art or book generator and download a clean 1x PNG — no watermark, no signup. Then add it as a listing photo in Etsy.
Will my design be uploaded anywhere?
No. Mockups are composited in your browser; your artwork never leaves your device.
