How to build a product collage for an eBay listing

eBay's picture policy is stricter than most sellers realise: no added borders, text or artwork on listing photos. That makes a collage a description asset rather than a photo-slot asset.

The grid is composed locally on a browser canvas and exported as a file you host or embed.

  • Decide where the collage will actually live, which for eBay usually means the HTML listing description rather than a photo slot.
  • Upload up to six photos, each under 12 MB.
  • Pick the four-grid layout for a square set or before/after for a refurbished item.
  • Set the padding and the light or white background, and keep each panel large enough that condition detail stays visible.
  • Export at 1600 on the long edge, and fill the 24 free photo slots with individual, unedited shots.

Why a practical collage fits eBay listing work

A lot of eBay listing visuals are built fast. The goal is not a polished ad creative. It is simply to make the product details easier to understand by combining a few useful shots into one cleaner image.

That makes a straightforward multi-panel collage a better default than something more decorative or design-heavy.

What this page helps with

This version is aimed at practical listing support: combine a few product views, keep the spacing clean, and export one listing-ready collage without leaving the browser.

  • eBay product-detail collages

Tips

Getting a better result out of eBay product collage maker

Specific settings and thresholds, not general advice.

  • Read eBay's picture policy before you use this: eBay prohibits adding borders, text or artwork to listing photos, and only allows a watermark that identifies you as the photo's owner. A multi-panel collage with gutters and a background fill is exactly the kind of composed image that policy is aimed at.
  • The safe place for a collage on eBay is inside the listing description, which is HTML and can hold images you host, rather than in the photo slots that the picture policy governs.
  • This page opens on the four-grid layout at 1600 x 1600 with balanced padding and a light background. 1600 pixels is eBay's recommended long edge for zoom, and the square shape matches the search gallery's square thumbnail.
  • eBay gives you 24 free photo slots. That is a lot of room to show angles, flaws and serial numbers individually, which is what eBay's policy actually wants, so a collage rarely earns a photo slot in the first place.
  • Six images is the ceiling, at 12 MB each. If you are combining condition photos for a description block, keep the panels large enough that the wear is still visible at the size the description renders.
Limits

What eBay product collage maker does not do

The honest boundary, so you do not lose time finding it yourself.

  • eBay's picture policy prohibits added borders, text and artwork on listing photos, so the output of this tool may not be usable in a photo slot. Use it for the description, or for another marketplace.
  • It does not add free text. Only the before and after label pair is available.
  • The maximum is six images and 1600 pixels on the long edge.
  • It does not upload to eBay or embed the image into a listing description for you.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Does this use a different engine from the root collage tool?

No. It is the same client-side collage builder, but opened with eBay-oriented defaults and page copy.

Can I still switch to another layout?

Yes. The practical multi-panel layout is just the starting point. The editor still lets you change to the other supported layouts.

Does it stay local?

Yes. Upload, arrangement, preview, and export all stay in the browser, and the saved file is rebuilt through canvas so common metadata is stripped on save.

Does eBay allow collage images in listing photos?

eBay's picture policy prohibits pictures with added borders, text or artwork, and it is written broadly enough to cover composed multi-panel images. The dependable place for a collage is the listing description, not the photo slots.

Then why would I build one for eBay?

For the description block, for a cross-posted listing on another marketplace, or for a before and after on a refurbished item where the transformation is the selling point and the description is the right place to show it.

What size does the collage export at?

The four-grid layout this page opens on exports at 1600 x 1600, which matches eBay's recommended 1600 pixel long edge. Two-up, three-grid, six-grid and before/after export at 1600 x 1200.

Can I add text like item condition to the panels?

No, other than the before and after labels. Condition detail belongs in the listing description and the item specifics anyway, where eBay's buyer protection process can actually see it.

How many photos should an eBay listing have instead?

Use the slots. eBay gives 24 free photos, and individual shots of every angle, mark and serial number do more to prevent a not-as-described case than a single collage ever will.
