How to fix: Image too small

Use an image that is at least 100x100 pixels for non-apparel products and 250x250 pixels for apparel products

A custom icon for Merchant Center Classic Article Header.

The product's image is too small to be used in an ad or a free listing. The image needs to meet these 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. We recommend the product to take no less than 75%, but not more than 90%, of the full image

Customers rely on product images to make decisions when shopping online. Since images are so important, we disapprove items when they don't provide an image with the right dimensions. By staying within the size dimensions we provide, you can make sure your product is ready to appear to customers who view your ads or free listings.
