How to fix: Image too big

Use an image that has a resolution of less than 64 megapixels and file size smaller than 16MB

On this page


Why this issue is happening

Your image does not meet image size requirements. If the image for a product does not follow the guidelines, that product will be disapproved until the issue is resolved.

How to fix your issue

Make sure that your images meet the following size requirements:

  • For apparel products, images must be at least 250 x 250 pixels and cannot be larger than 64 megapixels.
  • For all other products, images must be at least 100 x 100 pixels and cannot be larger than 64 megapixels.
  • Images can't be larger than 16MB in file size.
  • Do not scale up images or submit thumbnails. The product should take up no less than 75%, but not more than 90%, of the full image.

Note that your image may be automatically resized and presented to people who search for your products.

Tip: Keep in mind that if you change the image, but keep the same URL, it may take up to 6 weeks to detect and then crawl the new image. Google therefore recommends that you change the image filename and URL when you change the image. This ensures that the images will be checked as soon as possible, usually within 72 hours.
