Why 2000 × 2000?
Etsy recommends listing photos at least 2000 pixels in both width and height, and this page produces exactly that as a square. Etsy also advises that the first photo should be landscape or square, with space around the product, because it is cropped into square, portrait and landscape thumbnails. This page opens with Fit whole image, so nothing is cut: a 4032 × 3024 landscape phone photo becomes 2000 × 1500 with a 250-pixel band of background colour above and below, and a 3024 × 4032 portrait photo becomes 1500 × 2000 with the bands at the sides. Crop to fill instead scales the landscape photo to about 2667 × 2000 and trims about 333 pixels from each side. If your first photo is already landscape and well over 2000 pixels tall, uploading the original without squaring it may suit Etsy's thumbnails better.
Before you upload
Etsy has a thumbnail adjustment tool for checking each cropped view, so leave a clear border around the product. The background colour fills the bands of a fitted photo: keep white for a white backdrop, or pick the colour of your backdrop so the padding blends in. That fill also covers transparent areas, which matters on Etsy, because it does not support transparent PNGs and shows their transparent parts as black. Etsy lists JPG, GIF, PNG, SVG and HEIC as its supported file types, so choose JPG or PNG here rather than WebP. Etsy warns that images over 1 MB may not finish uploading on a slow connection; if the result line shows more, lower the JPG quality from its default of 82 and resize again. A 1200-pixel square from an older camera is enlarged to 2000 without any warning, and that adds no real detail for shoppers who zoom in.

Frequently asked questions
What size is etsy listing image?
2000 × 2000 pixels, an aspect ratio of 1:1. Add an image above and it is resized to exactly that in your browser.
What aspect ratio is etsy listing image?
1:1. It is square, so a landscape or portrait original needs cropping or padding. This page starts on Fit whole image, which pads it with the background colour; Crop to fill trims the longer sides instead. Crops are always taken from the centre.
Which file format should I use for an Etsy listing image?
JPG is the safest choice for photographs, and most platforms recompress uploads anyway. Use PNG for crisp flat graphics and text, and WebP when file size matters more than compatibility. No format keeps transparency here, because the resizer paints the background colour, white by default, behind every image.
