AliExpress image size guide 2026
Quick answer
Guidance for AliExpress main images centres on 800 x 800 pixels or larger, in a square, on a white or solid background, without borders, watermarks or collages. This comes from a search excerpt of AliExpress's rule page and seller guides, because we could not open the page itself, so confirm the figures in your Seller Center.

We could not open AliExpress's rule page when we checked in October 2026. A search excerpt of it supplied the figures here, alongside seller guides, so confirm them in your Seller Center.

Sizes and shape
The excerpt gives 800 x 800 or above, and a width to height ratio from 1:1 to 1:1.3. Square meets both, so our tools use it. Other guides suggest 1000 or 1200 pixels for detailed products, and our resizer exports at 1500 pixels, which covers each of those.
What to keep off the image
The same excerpt says to avoid borders, watermarks and picture collages, and recommends a white or solid background. Use JPEG or PNG. We found no confirmed file size limit for listing images: the 5 MB figure we saw applied to article images, so we treat 5 MB only as a cautious ceiling.
Questions
What size should AliExpress main images be?
Guidance points to at least 800 x 800 pixels in a square. Larger sizes such as 1000 or 1500 pixels can show more detail when buyers look closely. We could not read the rule page directly, so please confirm the number in your Seller Center.
Do AliExpress images need a white background?
The excerpt we read says white or a solid colour, while some third-party guides insist on pure white. Our checker does not test the background for this reason. White remains a safe choice if you are unsure, and it suits most product types.
What is the AliExpress file size limit?
We could not confirm one for listing images. A 5 MB limit appears in AliExpress guidance for article images, and one third-party guide says 10 MB. We use 5 MB as a cautious ceiling, and a Seller Center upload will show any real limit.
Can I use a taller image on AliExpress?
The excerpt allows a ratio up to 1:1.3, so a slightly tall image may be accepted. Square is the shape every source accepts, so we use it as the default. Check how a taller image displays before you use it across a whole catalog.
What image formats should I use on AliExpress?
Use JPEG or PNG, which is what the guidance we found covers and what our tools work to. We could not read AliExpress's rule page directly, so check your Seller Center if you want to use another format for your product photos.
Can I put a watermark on AliExpress product photos?
The excerpt of the rule page says to avoid borders, watermarks and picture collages, so it is safer to leave them off. We could not read the whole page, so check your Seller Center if you believe your category allows a different treatment.
Are these AliExpress image rules official?
Not fully. The figures come from a search excerpt of AliExpress's rule page and seller guides, because we could not open the page ourselves in October 2026. Treat them as seller guidance, and confirm them in your Seller Center before preparing a large catalog.
