How to Compress Product Images for Shopee
You're uploading a product to Shopee and it rejects your photo — either for being over the size limit or for being the wrong format. Shopee caps each image at 2 MB and only accepts the .jpgformat, so PNGs and big camera shots both get bounced. Here's how to fix both at once.
How to compress a Shopee product image with QuickWand
- Open the free image compressor and drop in your product photos.
- Set the output format to JPG— Shopee won't accept PNG or GIF, so this is essential.
- Lower the Quality slider and watch the live size estimateunder each file until it's comfortably under 2 MB.
- Use Resize → Max size to set the longest side to around
1024px or more — that keeps Shopee's zoom feature working while staying well under 2 MB. Keep it square (1:1) for the cover image. - Download each photo, or click Download all (.zip) for the full set of up to nine images.
Everything runs in your browser, so your photos never leave your device.
Shopee's real image requirements
- Maximum file size: 2 MB per image.
- Minimum dimensions: 500 x 500 px; upload 1024 x 1024 px or larger to unlock zoom.
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square). Non-square images get auto-cropped, which can cut off product details.
- Format: .jpg only — PNG, GIF, and other formats are rejected.
- Background: a clean white or bright background is recommended for the cover image.
- Photo count: up to nine images per product, including the cover.
The JPG-only rule trips up the most sellers
Because Shopee rejects PNG outright, a lot of rejections aren't about size at all — they're about format. If your file is a PNG, the PNG to JPG converter gets it into the right format, or you can just set JPG as the output in the compressor. Shot on an iPhone? Convert the .heic files with the HEIC to JPG converter first — Shopee won't take HEIC either.
