Amazon Main Image Checker

Check your main product photo against Amazon's base image rules before upload. Analysis runs locally in your browser, then groups blockers, warnings, and manual-review items into one preflight view.

  • Analyzed in your browser
  • Free, no account
  • Up to 100 MB per image

Drop image here or click to browse

Reads JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and AVIF. TIFF, SVG, and HEIC open only if your browser can decode them.

Amazon accepts JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and GIF.

One image, up to 100 MB. It is analyzed in this browser and not uploaded.

What the report covers

  • Measured: file format, animation, transparency and pixel size.
  • Estimated: white background, product fill, borders, added text and sharpness.
  • Left to you: the exact product, the listing match and your category's style guide.

How to check and fix a main image

  1. Select your image

    Choose or drop the image you plan to use as the main image. It is read and analyzed in this browser.

  2. Read the findings

    Start with required fixes, then warnings. Results marked Estimated may need a look by eye.

  3. Check what the checker can't

    Go through the items under “Review yourself”: whether the image shows the exact product, matches the listing and follows your category's style guide.

  4. Fix and check again

    Edit the image in your usual editor or one of our tools, save it, then select the saved file here to recheck.

How the checks work, and their limits

Every result says how it was established, separately from whether it passed.

  • Measured

    Read directly from the file: type, animation, transparency and pixel size.

  • Estimated

    Background whiteness, product fill, borders, added text and sharpness are visual estimates. A background or fill problem becomes a required fix only when it is measured clearly; otherwise it stays a warning. For an image with transparent areas, the fill, border, text and sharpness estimates treat those areas as white, the background Amazon requires.

  • You check

    Whether the image shows the exact product, matches the listing and follows your category's style guide needs your judgement. These items stay on the report even when everything else passes.

What the checker can't see

  • The checker cannot confirm that the photo shows the exact product variant, pack count, or bundle described in the listing.
  • Category-specific style-guide exceptions still require manual review because Amazon applies rules that vary by product type.
  • Estimated results are not guaranteed Amazon decisions. Packaging text, printed labels, shadows, and complex edges can produce false positives or false negatives.
  • Passing this checker does not guarantee listing approval. Treat it as a fast preflight before you upload to Seller Central.

Amazon main image checker FAQ

What does this Amazon main image checker actually verify?

It verifies base-level technical checks like readable format, image dimensions and transparent areas, then estimates higher-risk issues such as background whiteness, crop coverage, borders, overlays, and blur. It also surfaces manual-review items that cannot be confirmed in a browser.

Does QuickPrepMedia upload my product image?

No. The checker runs locally in your browser. Your file stays on your device.

Can this tool tell me if Amazon will definitely approve my image?

No. Amazon can still apply manual review, category-specific style guides, or listing-context checks that a browser-only preflight cannot reproduce. Use the result as guidance, not a guarantee.

Why would a checker warn about text when my packaging includes printed words?

The overlay check is an estimate. Printed packaging, labels, seams, or high-contrast product details can sometimes look like graphic overlays to the checker.

What should I fix first if multiple issues appear?

Start with failed checks: unsupported format, too-small dimensions, oversized dimensions, obvious non-white backgrounds, borders, and overlays. Then work through warnings such as a longest side under 1,000 px (no zoom), loose crop, or softer sharpness.

Which files can I check?

The checker reads JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and AVIF; TIFF, SVG, and HEIC only if your browser can decode them. It also checks files Amazon doesn't accept, such as WebP, and reports them as a required fix. Files can be up to 100 MB.

Why are some results marked Estimated?

Background whiteness, product fill, border, added-text and sharpness results come from visual estimates that can be wrong: shadows, light product edges, packaging text and textures can set them off. Check estimated results by eye.

How do I check a fixed image?

Edit the image in your editor or one of our tools, save it, then choose the saved file here with “Replace image”. Images don't move between tools automatically.
