Product image guides: seven tasks, in order
These pages answer one kind of question: you know the target, you do not know which step comes first.
Each guide gives a spec table, three to six steps, and answers to the questions people actually search for. Numbers come from the spec data on this site, so when a platform changes a rule the guides follow.
Opens with the Main product image (zoom enabled) preset selected (1000×1000). Drop your images in and export.

How each guide is built
- Read the spec table first: The numbers in it come from the spec data, and each one names the platform and rule it belongs to so you can open the source page and check the verification date.
- Follow the steps in order: Three to six steps, each one a concrete action. The order matters more than the tools you use; wrong order means rework.
- Open the tool with the parameters filled in: The button at the top of each guide opens the processing tool with the platform and rule already selected, so you do not have to pick them by hand.
- Check the FAQ before you upload: The questions are the ones people ask after the fact: file too large, edges gone gray, export ending up bigger than the original.
Why these pages exist separately from the spec pages
A spec page answers "what does the platform require". Most people are not stuck on that number; they are stuck on which step to change first. Crop before resize, or after? Pad white before compressing, or after? Get the order wrong and every file needs redoing.
The guides fix the order. Tables carry the values, steps carry the sequence, and the FAQ covers the exceptions. Platform numbers are rendered from the spec data rather than typed into the prose, so a rule change updates the guide without an edit to the text.
Four ordering mistakes that cost a redo
- Compressing before resizing. Changing dimensions changes the byte count, which invalidates the size you just hit.
- Cutting out the background before resizing. The semi-transparent edge pixels blend into gray when the canvas shrinks, and the cutout has to be redone.
- Adding a watermark before standardizing sizes. The canvas shrinks and the watermark shrinks with it, then disappears over a light background.
- Forcing one file onto every platform. 1000×1000 and 800×800 are not interchangeable; export each target separately.
Start with the task you have today
Pick the guide that matches the file sitting on your desktop, follow it once, and keep the output as a reference for the batch. Then run the rest of the folder through the batch image tool — it processes locally, so nothing is uploaded and a large folder is not a reason to wait.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the platform numbers in these guides come from?
From the spec data on this site, rendered at build time. Each number links to a spec page with the source URL and the date it was checked. Where the spec data has no value, the guide says so instead of inventing one.
Do the guides require uploading my images?
No. Resizing, white padding, and compression all run in your browser with canvas. No image request is sent, and processing keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
What is the difference between a guide and a platform spec page?
The spec page answers "what is required"; the guide answers "how do I get there". If you have the number but not the method, read the guide. If you are unsure of the number, follow the spec link from the guide.
Will more guides be added?
Yes. Topics follow search demand. Adding one means adding a data entry in the content module; pages, breadcrumbs, structured data, and sitemap entries are generated from it.
