Does this use a different editor from the main product prep tool?
No. It uses the same browser-based engine and workflow, but starts with Etsy-oriented defaults and page copy.
Can I still change the preset after upload?
Yes. The page starts with Etsy-style defaults, but the same framing and export controls stay available once the image is loaded.
Does the file stay local?
Yes. The image is prepared and exported in the browser, and the saved file is regenerated through canvas so common metadata is stripped on save.
What size should Etsy listing photos be?
Etsy recommends at least 2000 pixels on the shortest side, and requires at least 1000 pixels wide. Bigger files let buyers zoom. This page tops out at 1600 x 1600, which is comfortably above the minimum but below the recommended zoom size.
Why does my Etsy thumbnail look cropped?
Because the search and category grids show a cropped tile, not the full image, while the listing page shows the image whole. Frame the product with margin around it so a tighter crop does not clip it.
Should Etsy photos be square or portrait?
A square hero is the safest because it survives any crop the grid applies. Portrait 4:5 gives more room to a tall product on the listing page, which is why this page opens on the 1200 x 1500 canvas, but a square hero is the more forgiving default.
How many photos should a listing have?
Etsy allows 10 photos and one video, and listings that use most of the slots convert better. Aim to show the product in use, at scale next to something familiar, from the back, and in packaging.
Does a white background help on Etsy?
Less than on Amazon. Etsy has no background rule, and lifestyle context often converts better in a handmade marketplace. What matters is consistency across the 10 photos in a listing and across your shop grid.
