How to fix: Invalid image encoding [image_link] or [additional_image_link]

Verify that the image format is valid and that server settings are correct

Your product images aren't encoded in a way that Google recognizes. This prevents us from displaying your image in Shopping ads and free listings, so your products have been disapproved until the images are updated to meet our encoding standards.

Users rely on product images to make decisions when shopping online. Since images are so important, we only approve items when they provide an image in the right format. By using proper encoding on your images, you can make sure your product is ready to appear to users on Shopping ads.
