Does this use a special Facebook Marketplace engine?
No. It uses the same Product image prep implementation, but opens with marketplace-square defaults and page copy tuned for that use case.
Can I still switch to another canvas size?
Yes. The square setup is the starting point, but the preset and advanced controls remain available once the image is loaded.
Does this upload the photo anywhere?
No. The preparation and export happen locally in the browser, and the saved file is rebuilt from canvas with common metadata stripped on save.
What size should Facebook Marketplace photos be?
Meta's commerce spec asks for at least 500 x 500 pixels and recommends 1024 x 1024 or larger. A 1600 x 1600 square, which this page exports, is comfortably above both and survives the square grid crop.
Why does Marketplace crop my photo?
The browse grid uses a square 1:1 tile. A landscape or portrait photo gets centre-cropped into that square, so anything at the far left, right, top or bottom is cut. Exporting a square avoids the surprise.
How many photos can a Marketplace listing have?
Up to 10. Only the first appears in the browse grid, so put your strongest, tightest shot first and use the rest for angles, condition and any flaws.
Should I use a white background?
Marketplace has no background rule, and a real photo of the real item is what buyers expect. What helps is a tight crop and even lighting, not a studio backdrop. The white and light background options here only fill the space around a fitted image.
Does resizing here remove the location from my photo?
Redrawing the photo on a canvas does drop the original EXIF, including any GPS tag, as a side effect of re-encoding. That said, it is not the tool's purpose. If stripping metadata is the goal, use a metadata remover so the behaviour is explicit.
