  2. 02

    Process with Transparent output

    Cut the subject out of the mockup background.

  3. 03

    Composite over your brand background

    Use the editor to place the cutout on a consistent colour or subtle pattern.

    Export at 2000x2000

    Etsy recommends 2000 pixels on the longest side.

Tips

  • —Consistent preview style across all your digital products makes the shop look curated.
  • —Use your logo or brand colours in the preview background for recognition.
  • —Do not clutter the preview. The point is to show what the buyer gets.
  • —Add a small text label with the product type if it helps.

Common questions

Should the preview background be transparent or solid?

Solid. Transparency does not render well in Etsy's thumbnail grid.

Can I use the same preview for multiple products?

Yes, if the preview shows the product type. Different products should have different previews.

How many preview images does Etsy allow?

Up to 10 per listing. Use 5-7 of the best.
