Image Sizes & Dimensions
Image sizes and dimensions are important for ecommerce shops and social media as using the wrong dimensions might distort your image. Some marketplaces even have specific size and dimension requirements to avoid this. At SmarterShots.com we always provide you with different image formats such as JPG, PNG and TIFF and in high resolution (2500 x 2500px minimum for web and at any resolution you need for print) that way you can use and resize the images we create on all your marketplaces and social media accounts.
Now let’s see what are the sizes and dimensions requirements and recommendations for social media platforms, marketplaces and for your website as well.
On your website
Even though you could upload a very high resolution studio shot of 4000 x 4000px to show your beautiful bottle it is not recommended as depending on your website, the internet speed,… the image may slow down your website causing crazy loading times for your visitors who might abandon your website because of that.
So the recommended dimension for a product image is 2048 x 2048 pixels which is already high resolution with great zoom capabilities.
Marketplaces
For marketplaces, we recommend using 1000 x 1000px images such as on Amazon and Etsy
