This guide shows you how to upload strong product images, what works best, and common mistakes to avoid as a seller.

Why Product Images Matter So Much #

Good images:

• Build instant trust
• Show product quality
• Reduce questions and returns
• Increase conversions

📌 Customers can’t touch the product — images do the selling.

Minimum Image Requirements #

At a minimum, every product should have:

• 1 main image (required)
• Ideally 3–5 images total

📸 More angles = more confidence.
