You’ve sourced the product.
Optimized your listing.
Launched your PPC ads.
But your Amazon listing gets rejected—or worse, sits there with low conversion.
Why?
Your product photos failed Amazon’s strict rules—or failed to sell.
Amazon isn’t just a marketplace—it’s a visual battlefield.
Your images must be:
✅ 100% compliant (or get suppressed)
✅ Studio-quality (or lose to competitors)
✅ Optimized for mobile (where 75% of shoppers browse)
At Clip Path Pro, we’ve edited 250,000+ Amazon-compliant images for FBA sellers in 30+ countries—with zero rejections due to editing errors.
This is your ultimate guide to getting Amazon photo editing right—every time.
Part 1: Amazon’s Non-Negotiable Image Rules (2025)
Violate any of these, and your listing will be rejected or suppressed:
📌 Main Image Requirements
- Pure white background: RGB 255,255,255 (no off-white, no gray)
- No text, logos, watermarks, or borders
- Product must fill 85%+ of the frame
- No props, hands, or lifestyle shots
- High resolution: Minimum 1000x1000px (2000x2000px recommended)
📌 Additional Image Rules
- Infographics allowed only in A+ Content (not in main gallery)
- Lifestyle images: Must show only your product (no other brands)
- No before/after, price comparisons, or “free shipping” claims
⚠️ Common Rejection Reasons:
- Background is RGB 250,250,250 (looks white to you—but not to Amazon)
- Shadow visible under product
- Multiple products in one image
Part 2: 6 Must-Have Photo Edits for Every Amazon Listing
Even if your images meet Amazon’s rules, they still need conversion-focused editing:
| 1. Background Removal (Pure White) | Passes Amazon review + looks professional | All products |
| 2. Color Correction | Ensures red = red, gold = gold | Apparel, jewelry, cosmetics |
| 3. Dust & Scratch Removal | Signals premium quality | Watches, electronics, luxury goods |
| 4. Shadow Control | Main image:no shadow. A+ Content: soft shadow OK | All categories |
| 5. Ghost Mannequin (Apparel) | Shows inside/outside seamlessly | T-shirts, jackets, dresses |
| 6. Consistent Sizing & Cropping | Uniform catalog = brand trust | Multi-SKU brands |
💡 Pro Tip: Use before/after sliders in A+ Content to show transformation (e.g., stain removal, fit).
