Ideal Image Size for Shopee in 2026
Exact dimensions for thumbnail, banner, and secondary photos on Shopee. Getting the size wrong affects clicks, ad approval, and conversion.
Official Shopee dimensions
- Main thumbnail: 1024×1024 px (1:1 square ratio).
- Additional product photos: minimum 500×500 px, recommended 1024×1024 px.
- Store banner: 1200×400 px.
- Store profile cover: 900×300 px.
- Accepted formats: JPG, PNG. Maximum file size: 2 MB.
Why the wrong size hurts sales
Images smaller than 500×500 px are rejected by the platform. Rectangular images are automatically cropped to square, potentially cutting important product parts. Images over 2 MB are rejected on upload.
How to create a thumbnail at the right size
- Open the Shopee Thumbnail tool on Lumageni.
- Upload your product photo.
- The tool already exports at 1024×1024 px with a white background.
- Add price, logo, and badge if needed.
- Download as compressed JPG to stay under 2 MB.
Practical tip: Don't put important text at image edges. Shopee adds discount and free shipping badges to corners, which may cover product information.
Why ratio matters more than resolution
Sending a huge image does not help if the ratio is wrong. The platform uses squares, and a rectangular photo is cropped from the centre — cutting packaging titles and parts of the product. Adjusting to square before uploading is the step that avoids the most rework.
Measurements that work
- Main image: square, 1,200 x 1,200 pixels or more.
- Under 2MB so uploads do not stall on weak connections.
- White background on the first photo.
- Product filling about 80% of the frame, with margin around it.
Preparing photos in batches without rework
Adjusting one by one is what makes sellers give up on fixing a catalogue. Define the standard once — square, 1,200 pixels, white background, product at 80% — and apply it to all at once. Shooting with that standard in mind saves more time than any editing tool.
Signs your photos are hurting sales
- Lots of views and few messages: the photo attracts but does not convince.
- Repeated size questions: scale reference is missing.
- Returns citing colour differences: the photo is oversaturated.
