The size our tools make for Zalando

1801 × 2600 px, background: pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255), product: as large as the margin allows. The image resizer and the AI white background tool use this preset, which follows the rules above.

The Zalando pages we could read do not state: product fill. We leave these out rather than guess.

Pages we could not read yet

These pages sit behind a seller login or a bot wall. They may add or change: minimum size, recommended size, maximum size, aspect ratio, not on the main image, not on any image and number of images.
