"My top-selling product got suppressed on a Friday afternoon. EditThisPic fixed the white background issue and I was back live in 20 minutes. That would have cost me thousands in lost weekend sales." @AmazonRescueSeller

Fix Your Suppressed Listing in 4 Steps
-
Identify the suppression reason
Check your Amazon Seller Central 'Manage Inventory' page for the suppression reason. Common image issues: 'Main image does not have a pure white background,' 'Image contains promotional text,' 'Image quality too low.' Knowing the specific issue helps you apply the right fix.
Most suppressions are background-related and can be fixed in one step. Multi-issue suppressions may need 2-3 separate edits. -
Upload the problematic image to EditThisPic
Drop the same image that was suppressed into EditThisPic. Don't start with a new photo unless the original is unsalvageable. Fixing the existing image means your product looks the same as what you already had -- just now compliant.
If your original image was taken down and you don't have the file, check your email for the original product photos or look in your Seller Central media library. -
Apply the compliance fix
Based on the suppression reason: For background issues: 'replace background with pure white RGB 255,255,255, no shadows, no gradients.' For text/watermark: 'remove all text overlays and watermarks.' For quality: 'enhance image quality and sharpness.' Apply the specific fix needed.
When in doubt, do all three: white background + remove text + enhance quality. Belt and suspenders approach ensures Amazon accepts it. -
Verify and re-upload to Amazon
Check pure white background (RGB 255,255,255), no text or watermarks visible, product fills 85%+ of frame, and image is at least 1000px on longest side. Upload to Amazon and submit for review. Most fixed images are approved within hours.
After uploading, click 'Request approval' rather than waiting for automatic review. Manual requests are typically processed faster.

Suppressed Listing Fix Troubleshooting
Fixed the background but listing is still suppressed
Why: There may be multiple compliance issues. Amazon sometimes reports only the first issue found.
replace background with pure white, remove all text and watermarks, enhance quality, ensure professional product photography standard
Fix everything at once with one comprehensive edit. Then re-submit and wait 24-48 hours for review.
Amazon keeps saying 'image does not meet requirements' without specifics
Why: Amazon's automated system checks multiple criteria simultaneously. The vague error often means subtle background issues.
replace background with pure white RGB 255,255,255, remove any faint text or watermarks, enhance overall quality, ensure no shadows or gradients
Open your image in any image editor and check the corner pixels. If not pure 255,255,255, that is likely the issue.
Image was accepted before but now suppressed
Why: Amazon periodically updates and re-scans images against current compliance rules.
replace background with pure white RGB 255,255,255, ensure modern Amazon image compliance, no shadows, no gradients, no text
Re-edit all your main images periodically to meet the latest standards.
Fixed image looks different from what I had before
Why: Background removal and enhancement can slightly change the product's appearance.
replace background with pure white while maintaining exact original product appearance, no color shift or modification to the product itself
Do the fix in stages: first replace background only, then verify the product looks correct before downloading.
Product dimensions image (infographic) got suppressed
Why: Amazon recently changed rules for infographic-style main images.
remove all text, arrows, dimension lines, and infographic elements, keep only the product on pure white background
Move infographic content to secondary images (slots 2-7). Only use clean product-on-white for the main image.
