The size our tools make for Google Shopping

2000 × 2000 px, background: white, product: 90% of the side. The image resizer and the AI white background tool use this preset, which follows the rules above.

The Google Shopping pages we could read do not state: aspect ratio, colour and not on the main image. We leave these out rather than guess.

Rules for some categories

  • Clothing: Show the product worn by a person; in a full-body image, do not crop the model's head or feet.
  • Shoes, handbags and accessories: Shown alone in the main image, and on a model in additional images.
  • Hardware, Vehicles & Parts, Computer Software: A generic image, graphic or illustration may stand in for the actual product.

Other stated rules

  • The main image shows the entire product accurately, with minimal or no staging; a bundle's main image shows every product in it.
  • The 500 x 500 px minimum is new: Google enforces it from January 31, 2027.
  • Images made with generative AI must keep the metadata that says so, such as the IPTC DigitalSourceType tag.
  • Do not use a transparent background for light-coloured products.
  • Show a single unit of the product, and no product that is not sold with it.
  • Google may crop images automatically.
  • Do not scale up an image or submit a thumbnail.

How it works

  1. Check your main image

    Add it to the checker above: it tests each of Google Shopping's stated rules in your browser.

  2. Resize it to 2000 × 2000 px

    The free resizer's Google Shopping preset sets the size and where the product sits.

  3. Fix the background

    Put the product on pure white with the AI white background tool where Google Shopping asks for white.
