Product images directly impact conversion rates. Amazon reports that listings with high-resolution images see 30% higher click-through rates. But what do you do when your supplier sends low-resolution photos?
Marketplace Image Requirements
| Platform | Min Size | Recommended | Max Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon | 1000x1000px | 2000x2000px | 10,000px |
| Etsy | 2000x2000px | 3000x3000px | — |
| Shopify | 2048x2048px | 4472x4472px | 20MP |
| eBay | 500x500px | 1600x1600px | 12MP |
The Problem
Suppliers typically send product photos at 500-800px — below minimum requirements for most marketplaces. Manually resizing creates blurry, unprofessional results.
The Solution: AI Upscaling
AI upscaling reconstructs detail that basic resizing can't. A 500x500px product image upscaled 4x becomes 2000x2000px with sharp edges, readable text, and natural textures.
Step-by-Step Process
- Upload your product image to the Image Upscaler
- Select 4x for maximum resolution increase
- Choose Recraft Crisp model — best for product shots with text and sharp edges
- Download the full-resolution result
- If needed, remove the background for a clean white backdrop
Which AI Model for Products?
- Recraft Crisp — Best for products with text, labels, or packaging. Produces the sharpest edges.
- Real-ESRGAN — Good all-rounder, fastest processing. Works well for fabric and texture.
- AuraSR v2 — Best detail preservation. Ideal for jewelry, watches, and fine craftsmanship.
- Clarity — Maximum detail but slower. Reserve for hero images worth the wait.
Before and After
A typical result: a 600x600px supplier image upscaled to 2400x2400px shows recovered fabric weave, readable product labels, and natural color gradients — none of which exist in the bicubic-resized version.
Tips for Best Results
- White background first — remove the background before upscaling for cleaner results
- Crop tight — remove unnecessary space before upscaling to focus AI processing on the product
- Multiple angles — upscale all product views consistently
- Batch processing — process all images through the same model for consistent quality across your listing
ROI Calculation
If high-resolution images increase conversion by even 5% on a product selling 100 units/month at $25 average order value:
- Extra revenue: $125/month
- Cost: 1 credit per upscale ($0.20-0.66)
- ROI: 190x minimum
Conclusion
Don't let low-resolution supplier images hold back your listings. The Image Upscaler transforms sub-par product photos into marketplace-ready assets for pennies per image.
