The short answer
To get approved on Amazon and Noon, your Main Image must feature the product on a pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255) with no text, logos, or watermarks. The product should fill at least 85% of the frame and be shown exactly as it is sold.
Secondary images are more flexible and should be used to show different angles, infographics, and lifestyle context to help the buyer make a decision.
What are the main image requirements?
The main image is the most strictly regulated. Failure to follow these rules often leads to immediate product suppression or rejection by the platform.
- Use a pure white background without any shadows or gradients.
- Show the product only—no props, accessories not included, or packaging.
- Do not add any text, promotional stickers, or brand watermarks.
- Ensure high resolution (usually 1000px or more) to enable the zoom feature.
How to use secondary and lifestyle images?
After the first image, you have the freedom to be creative. Use these slots to answer the buyer's unasked questions and reduce the likelihood of returns.
- Side & Back Angles: Show the depth and all functional parts of the item.
- Infographics: Highlight key features like 'Waterproof' or 'Cotton fabric' using icons.
- Lifestyle Shots: Show the product in use to clarify its real-world size and purpose.
- Size Comparison: Use a common object or a model to show how big the product is.
Why are product images rejected?
Most rejections are due to simple technical errors that can be fixed easily. Always double-check your catalog against these common pitfalls before uploading.
- Background color: A 'near-white' or light gray background is the #1 cause of rejection.
- Blurry images: Low resolution prevents the required zoom functionality.
- Inaccurate representation: Showing items that are not part of the purchase.
- Copyright issues: Using photos that belong to other sellers or brands.
How to optimize images for mobile shoppers?
Most shoppers on Amazon and Noon use their phones. Your images must be clear and readable on a small screen to maintain high conversion rates.
- Keep infographic text short and use large, legible fonts.
- Ensure the product is centered and takes up the majority of the image space.
- Use high-contrast visuals to make the product stand out in search results.
