Shopee image size: the 2026 spec for SEA sellers
This guide covers the official 1000×1000 px (recommended), 800×800 px (minimum) specification, format requirements, and the practical workflow imgsize.cc uses to get it right in your browser.
Why these dimensions
Shopee's main image slot renders at up to 800 pixels wide on mobile (where 95% of Shopee traffic comes from). The recommended 1000×1000 pixel upload covers retina mobile screens. Shopee enforces a pure white background for most categories — apparel, beauty, electronics, home. Lifestyle photos are only allowed in gallery slots 2–9.
Specification breakdown
- Size: 1000×1000 px (recommended), 800×800 px (minimum)
- Format: JPEG (preferred), PNG
- Max file size: 2 MB (compressed, smaller than most marketplaces)
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square, mandatory)
The "safe area" inside the frame
Crop the central content of your image to the central 80% of the frame. Shopee Main Image may crop or overlay UI elements near the edges, so critical content should stay well within the safe zone.
Common mistakes
- Off-white background — listing suppressed in category searches
- File over 2 MB — upload fails silently
- Watermarks — Shopee auto-removes them but listing goes into review
- Multiple products in one image — listing flagged for category violation
Frequently asked questions
Does Shopee Singapore differ from Shopee Indonesia?
Functionally identical. Same image spec applies across all 7 Shopee markets (SG, MY, ID, TH, VN, PH, TW).
Can I use AI-generated backgrounds?
Yes, as long as the result reads as pure white. Shopee's image review team manually checks the top 5% of listings weekly.
How imgsize.cc handles it
Drop your source image into the workbench above. The crop box defaults to a 1:1 aspect ratio matching Shopee's requirement. The export defaults to a sub-2MB PNG — well within Shopee's size limit. Resize, crop, and download, all in your browser, no upload required.
