Frequently Asked Questions
What background color does Amazon require for product images?
Amazon requires a pure white background (#FFFFFF) for main product images. The product must fill at least 85% of the frame. Off-white, grey, or gradient backgrounds are not compliant and may result in listing suppression.
Can I use a free tool to remove backgrounds for Amazon listings?
Yes. The AI background remover at thefreeaitools.com removes product photo backgrounds and lets you replace them with pure white — free, with no account required and no watermark on the output.
What image size does Amazon recommend for product photos?
Amazon recommends 1500×1500 pixels minimum for zoom functionality (2000×2000px is ideal). The minimum accepted size is 1000×1000px. Use JPEG format — PNG is accepted but JPEG produces smaller files at equivalent quality.
