Add product images and video

Every detail page in the Amazon store requires at least one product image, and we recommend that you provide six images and one video. Good images make it easy for customers to evaluate the product.

Images should be clear, informative, and attractive. The first image on the product detail page is the “main” image and is shown to customers in search. The main image must show only the product on a white background, and the product should fill the image frame. Additional images should show the product in use or in an environment, different angles, and different features.

There are several ways to add a product image to the detail page:

• For new products: Use the List Your Products tool to add an image when you create a new listing.
• For existing products: Use Manage Inventory to add an image to an existing listing or upload images in bulk using Upload Images.
• If you use inventory files, specify the product image URL in the inventory file. To learn more, go to Add product data to your inventory file.

For information on uploading country-specific images, go to Upload images in Image Manager.

It can take up to 24 hours after you add an image for it to appear on the website.

1. From the drop-down menu in Seller Central, select Catalog and then select Add products.

Video is a great way to demonstrate your product in action, describe your product, and tell your unique brand story. When used effectively, videos can result in higher conversion rates and increased sales. You can upload videos of your product that will display next to images of the product.

Any videos that you upload must comply with Amazon’s community guidelines. Please review these guidelines in their entirety before you start uploading videos.

To learn more, go to Upload a video. To start uploading videos, go to Upload and manage videos.
