Ratio versus size

Amazon's image guidance puts most weight on the long side of the file. A common figure is at least 1000 pixels on the longest side to enable zoom, and many sellers aim well above that. Ratios vary and the style guide is the authority, so read the current version for your category. A square frame is a popular way to keep the product large. The bot returns a vertical 3:4 picture, so you decide the crop.

How to crop a 3:4 picture

Open the download in any editor, choose a square crop and slide the frame so the product sits in the middle. The white margin above and below the product gives you room. After the crop, look at the pixel size: if the long side drops under the size you need, go back to the original and crop less. Save as a high quality JPEG or PNG. The bot's output has a flat white background, so it is not a transparent PNG.

Vertical frames

Some sellers keep a vertical frame and fill the sides with white. That can work, but the product may look small in the square tile of search results. If you try it, compare both versions side by side on a phone. Pick whichever one shows the product larger in the tile while the full image still passes the rules. Keep the original 3:4 file as well.

Tips

Check the pixel count after you crop, since a crop shortens one side.
Crop from the empty margin and stay out of the product.
Keep the product filling most of the frame.
Work from the full-size download, and skip screenshots.
Compare the result with Amazon's current style guide before you upload.
