In this tutorial, we will talk about eMAG standards for the main image of your products.
The visual element has a decisive role in capturing the interest and desire to buy. That’s why preparing and selecting the best images is essential to your success in the eMAG Marketplace.
All products listed in the eMAG Marketplace must contain at least one image in the Images section. Our recommendation is to add at least four secondary images next to the main image to perfectly describe the product and replace the experience in a physical store, with the captured details and their quality.
MAIN IMAGE
The main image must present the product in an attractive way, choose the picture that shows only the individual product, entirely and without any other support elements.
It is forbidden to insert additional elements such as:
- Images of other products,
- Different logos or zooms,
- Any type of text, watermarks, collages,
- Reflections or shadows
The main image will show the product captured from the front, centered, entirely, without any accessories, without packaging and mandatory on a WHITE background. Exceptions are some products in the home & deco category, such as products in the bed linen category, where other types of backgrounds are accepted.
You can find more examples in this article and the special standards for the Mattress category are summarized here.
There are two product categories for which specific rules apply in product positioning.
- Air conditioners, where the main unit of the appliance will be captured in the main image
- Products from the Fashion category, where it is mandatory for the product to be always captured from the front, even if it is on a model.
Careful! Only images of Fashion products presented by a model are accepted, not on a mannequin.
IMAGE CHARACTERISTIC
The formats supported by the eMAG Marketplace for image files, are: JPG (.jpg), PNG (.png), GIF (.gif), and the maximum size of such a file is 6 MB.The size of the images is very important, you do not want a very small image from which nothing can be seen about your article.
The eMAG Marketplace platform only validates images with dimensions between a minimum of 640 x 640 pixels and a maximum of 6000 x 6000 pixels.
Exceptions are clothing products, where the minimum accepted image size must be 640 x 960 pixels, aspect ratio 2/3.
Any image smaller or larger than the dimensions mentioned above, invalidates the product in the eMAG Marketplace platform, so reserve time and attention for their realization.
More details about the whole process of adding a product on the eMAG Marketplace can be found in the eMAG Academy section of the main menu.
Keep up the good work!
