Depop image size guide 2026
Quick answer
Depop's help centre states photo limits only: four photos and one video in the app, eight photos on the web. We found no pixel or shape rule on its own pages. Third party seller guides suggest a square of 1080 to 1280 px, so exporting at 1280 x 1280 px as JPEG covers them.
Only part of this guide can be confirmed. Depop's help centre states the photo limits: four photos and one video in the app, eight photos on the web. We found no pixel or shape rule on Depop's own pages.
The table's square shape, 1080 px minimum and 1280 px recommendation come from third party seller guides. The 20 MB figure is our own ceiling.

A simple export setting
Crop to square, export at 1280 x 1280 px as JPEG, and you meet everything the guides suggest. Phone cameras shoot at far higher resolution, so the crop is the real work. Compose with space around the item when you shoot, so that you can crop to a square without cutting off sleeves or hems.
Using all your slots
Depop's blog suggests filling all four app slots, each showing something different, and notes the first photo is what buyers see first. A workable set is the styled or full item shot first, then the back, then the label, then any wear. Then add a short video in the app, or list on the web if you would rather have eight photos.
Questions
Why do Depop size guides disagree?
Because Depop does not appear to publish a figure, so each guide offers its own advice. Some say 1280 x 1280 and others at least 1080 x 1080. Exporting at 1280 x 1280 satisfies both, which is why we use it as the target here.
Can I add a video on Depop from the web?
Depop's listing page mentions one video for app listings and only photos for web listings. If a video matters for the item, list from the app or check the current web form, since these details can change between versions.
Does Depop reject photos under 1080 pixels?
We found nothing saying so. The 1080 px floor here is advice from seller guides and our test reports it strictly so you notice it. A smaller photo may still post, though it will look softer on larger screens and when buyers zoom in.
What order should my Depop photos go in?
Lead with the styled or full item shot, because Depop's blog notes the first photo is what buyers see first. Then add the back, the label and any wear, so each of the four app slots shows something different. This order is our suggestion.
Is there a file size limit for Depop photos?
We found none on Depop pages. The 20 MB figure in our table is our own ceiling and not a Depop rule. A 1280 x 1280 px JPEG, which is what the seller guides point towards, should sit well below that size.
How do I get a square Depop photo without cutting off sleeves?
Compose with space around the item when you shoot, so the crop has room. Phone cameras shoot at far higher resolution than 1280 px, so the crop is the real work and you lose nothing by standing back a little.
