How to fix: Image too small

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

Reasons why the issue is happening

The image submitted for this product is too small to be used in an ad or a free listing.

Why is this important?

Customers rely on product images to make decisions when shopping online. Since images are so important, we disapprove products 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.

How to fix the issue

Update your images so that they meet our image 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.
Avoid submitting thumbnails or scaling images. We recommend that the product take no less than 75% (but not more than 90%) of the full image

You can submit links to your updated product images by adding them to the image link [image_link] attribute.
