"I was a new seller and had no idea about main image rules. My first 10 listings all got suppressed. EditThisPic fixed them all in under an hour." @NewSellerTanya
Amazon Main Image Rules Are Strict
Amazon's main image requirements exist so search results look clean and uniform. But the rules catch many sellers off guard: no text anywhere, no brand logos visible, no colored borders, no props or accessories not included in the sale, pure white background, and the product must fill at least 85% of the frame. EditThisPic can fix all of these issues from your existing product photos, saving you from costly re-shoots.

Remove Text

Make Your Main Image Amazon-Compliant
-
Upload your product image
Drop your current product image into EditThisPic. It can be the manufacturer's image, your own photo, or even a screenshot from a supplier listing. Any starting point works.
Simple fixes (background only) take 15 seconds. Multiple issues (text + background + objects) may need 2-3 prompts. -
Fix all compliance issues at once
Type a comprehensive prompt addressing all issues: 'remove all text, logos, watermarks, borders, and props. Replace background with pure white RGB 255,255,255. Keep only the product. No shadows.' This handles multiple violations in one step.
Address everything in one prompt when possible. Separate prompts for separate issues if the AI can't handle all at once. -
Verify against Amazon's checklist
Check every requirement: Pure white background? No text anywhere? No logos or brand marks? No borders or frames? No props not included in sale? No shadows on main image? Product fills 85%+ of frame? Product is the actual product (not a drawing or illustration)?
Use Amazon's own listing quality dashboard in Seller Central to preview how your image will appear before publishing. -
Download and upload to Slot 1
Download your compliant image as high-quality PNG (minimum 1000x1000px, recommended 2000x2000px). Upload to your Amazon listing's main image slot. The image should pass automated checks immediately.
Keep your original non-compliant image for secondary slots where text and lifestyle elements are allowed.

Common Main Image Compliance Issues
Text removal left artifacts or smudges on the product
Why: The text was overlaid on the product surface, and removing it damaged the underlying product detail.
remove text and restore the product surface underneath cleanly, reconstruct the product detail that was hidden by text
If text directly overlays important product features, you may need to use markers on the specific text areas.
Amazon still shows a compliance warning after uploading
Why: Amazon's system may detect issues you missed: tiny logos, subtle text, shadows, or non-white corners.
remove any remaining text, logos, shadows, or non-white areas. Make image 100% compliant: product only on pure white, nothing else
Zoom to 100% and scan every part of the image. Amazon's AI catches things human eyes miss.
Product lost important details after cleanup
Why: Aggressive text/logo removal can sometimes affect nearby product features. The AI removed too much.
remove only the text/logo elements, preserve all product details and features, be precise about what to remove
Tap markers directly on the text/logo you want removed (not the product). This tells the AI exactly what to target.
Removing props left blank space in the image
Why: Props were close to or touching the product. Removing them left gaps that were filled with white but look unnatural.
remove props and naturally fill the space with product continuation or clean white, seamless result
If props were touching the product, you may need to restore the product edge that was hidden behind the prop.
Image resolution dropped after editing
Why: Multiple rounds of AI editing can gradually reduce sharpness. Always start from the highest resolution source.
enhance image sharpness and detail quality, professional product photography resolution
Run enhance as a final step after all compliance fixes to restore maximum sharpness.
Amazon Main Image Requirements FAQ
What exactly are Amazon's main image requirements?
Amazon's main image (Slot 1) must have: pure white background (RGB 255,255,255), no text or graphics, no logos or watermarks, no borders or colored frames, no props or accessories not included in the purchase, product fills at least 85% of the frame, no shadows, must be a photograph (not illustration), minimum 1000px on longest side. Violating any of these results in listing suppression.
What happens when my main image is non-compliant?
Amazon's automated system scans all main images. Non-compliant images trigger listing suppression, which removes your product from search results. You'll see a notification in Seller Central's Account Health or Listing Quality dashboard. Your listing stays suppressed until you upload a compliant image. During suppression, you lose all organic sales.
Are there exceptions to the no-text rule?
Text that is physically printed on the product itself (like a product label or brand name molded into the product) is allowed because it's part of the actual product. What's prohibited is added text: promotional overlays, 'Best Seller' badges, feature callouts, price tags, or any text not physically on the product.
Can I show accessories in the main image?
Only if they're included in the purchase. If you're selling a phone case, you can show it on a phone if the phone is included. If only the case is sold, show the case alone. Amazon is strict about this - customers should see exactly what they're buying, nothing more.
Is clothing exempt from white background requirements?
Partially. Clothing, shoes, and accessories can show the product on a human model or mannequin for the main image. However, the background still must be pure white. No lifestyle backgrounds or studio backdrops are allowed for the main image, even for apparel.
How quickly does Amazon flag non-compliant images?
Amazon's automated system typically scans new images within 24 hours. Some sellers report flags within minutes of upload. It's always better to ensure compliance before uploading rather than fixing issues after your listing is already suppressed.
