@Seller_MPaleH7GmfPdM - I'm not sure, but maybe check out Amazon's 'Seller University' - found on your seller homepage under 'Learn' - it should tell you there.

I don't know the best dimensions (apart from it usually says images must be at least xxxx px wide, etc. to allow for the zoom), however there is absolutely no benefit from going above 72dpi. You're just creating bigger files to store & upload. I say that as someone why ran a web design business for 17yrs. Sizes such as 300dpi are for printing but will not look any better, especially as Amazon (or any platform) will compress files anyway to save space and speed up viewing. For the best dimensions try ChatGPT or alike. I do know on Etsy they are forever changing the format - square, portrait, landscape, this size, that size, etc. So I just ignore them.

ChatGPT says -
For Amazon listing images, the goal is maximum zoom quality + consistent presentation, not just compliance. Given your photography prints and frames, here are the best practical specs.
The best aspect ratio
1:1 (square)
Example:
2000 × 2000 px
3000 × 3000 px
4000 × 4000 px
Square images:
display best in search results
centre properly on mobile
avoid cropping
work across all Amazon placements
This is the current standard.
The best image dimensions
Minimum for zoom:
1600 px on the longest side
Recommended working size:
2000–3000 px
Ideal for your products:
3000 × 3000 px
You’ve previously worked at 4000–5000 px for Etsy; that’s fine, but for Amazon:
3000 px square is the sweet spot
My recommendation for your catalogue
Use:
3000 × 3000 px
sRGB colour
JPEG
This gives:
reliable zoom
fast loading
consistent display
future-proof resolution
DPI does not matter
Amazon ignores DPI.
Only pixel dimensions matter.
So:
72 dpi
150 dpi
300 dpi
All behave the same.

We always use a square aspect ratio (2000px x 2000px)
Can't go wrong.

Hi @Seller_MPaleH7GmfPdM, great questions!
Minimum 500 pixels and maximum 10,000 pixels on the longest side.
The Product image guide should cover quite a few of your questions, but let me know if you have any additional questions as you go through the process.
