Mistake 1: Poor Image Quality
Amazon has strict image quality standards, and low-quality images make your product look unprofessional, reducing trust and sales.
How to Fix It
- Use a high-resolution camera or professional photographer.
- Ensure proper lighting to eliminate shadows and enhance clarity.
- Follow Amazon’s image size requirements (minimum 1000 pixels width/height).
Mistake 2: Not Using a Pure White Background
Amazon requires a white background for the main image. Using textured or colored backgrounds may result in listing rejection.
How to Fix It
- Use a plain white backdrop or professional photography setup.
- Edit the background using Photoshop or professional editing tools.
- Avoid adding text, watermarks, or extra elements to the main image.
Mistake 3: Ignoring Multiple Angles and Detailed Shots
Customers want to see every detail before purchasing. Lack of multiple images creates uncertainty and can drive them to competitors.
How to Fix It
- Include 5-7 high-quality images showcasing different angles.
- Use lifestyle images to demonstrate product usage.
- Add infographics highlighting dimensions, materials, and key benefits.
Mistake 4: Inconsistent or Misleading Images
Misleading images lead to high return rates and negative reviews, affecting sales and your Amazon ranking.
How to Fix It
- Ensure accurate color representation with proper color correction.
- Show true product size using a scale reference (e.g., hand holding the product).
- Avoid over-editing to maintain realistic product presentation.
Mistake 5: Not Optimizing Images for Amazon’s Algorithm
Poorly optimized images can lower your product ranking. Amazon favors high-resolution, well-optimized images for better search visibility.
How to Fix It
- Use JPEG format for best quality and smaller file size.
- Rename files with relevant keywords (e.g., wireless-headphones-black.jpg).
- Ensure high-resolution images to enable zoom functionality.
