Resize Photo for Etsy
Resize listing photos to Etsy's recommended 2000 px as JPGs under 1 MB, so they look sharp and finish uploading.
What this page is for
Etsy listings look best with large photos, but large photos are also the ones that stall on upload. This page resizes a whole batch to Etsy's recommended size and brings each file under 1 MB.
The output is a standard sRGB JPG, which is what Etsy asks for.
The rule: Etsy's image requirements
Etsy Help recommends images at least 2000 px in width and height, and says the first photo must be at least 635 px to avoid lower search placement. Images larger than 1 MB may not finish uploading. Photos should be sRGB.
Etsy does not support transparent PNGs or animated GIFs, so this page outputs JPG and fills transparency with white. Etsy crops thumbnails to square, portrait and landscape, so keep the product near the center; the first photo should be landscape or square.
Worked example
24 megapixel product photo, 6000 x 4000, 11 MB. Scaled so the short side is 2000 px gives 3000 x 2000; at a quality that fits 1 MB it stays sharp at listing zoom.
How to use it
- Pick 2000 px shortest side.
- Leave the cap on 1 MB.
- Tap Choose photos and select the listing photos.
- Tap Resize for Etsy.
- Download each photo or the ZIP.
Questions
My photo is smaller than 2000 px. What now?
It is left at its size and the result says so. Etsy still accepts it; the first photo only needs 635 px. It will look less sharp when zoomed.
Why JPG and not PNG?
Etsy does not support transparent PNGs, and JPG keeps photos under 1 MB far more easily.
Will colours shift?
The page writes sRGB, which is what Etsy asks for, so colours look the same on the listing as in the preview.
Is anything uploaded?
No.

Nearlimit is not affiliated with Etsy. Sizes and results are estimates produced by your own browser. A file that fits the cap is not a guarantee that the destination will accept it: services change their limits, and some check more than size. On iPhone and iPad, Safari limits memory and codecs, so large files can fail there that work on a computer. Keep your original file.
