What Lazada asks of the main photo

From Lazada’s own seller pages, checked 5 November 2026. Where a page sets no rule, the table says so rather than guess.

  • Worth knowing. Lazada’s own pages give no background or fill rule, and an older one gives a 1 MB limit; the 3 MB here is the newer.
  • A size that works everywhere. Square at 2,048 × 2,048 pixels, the size Shopify recommends, is inside every marketplace’s limits and sharp when zoomed.

Questions, answered

What size should a Lazada product photo be?
Between 330 and 5,000 pixels on each side, up to 3 MB, as a JPG or PNG. Lazada does not require a square, but a square photo of about 2048 × 2048 pixels works on Lazada, Shopee and TikTok Shop alike.
How many photos can a Lazada product have?
Up to 8 photos for each product, and the first one is used as the main image. Use the others for the sides, the details, the scale and the product in use.
What is Lazada’s maximum image file size?
Lazada’s current Open Platform page gives 3 MB; an older page gives 1 MB. Keeping photos under 1 MB is safest if you upload through an older tool; a 2048-pixel JPG is usually well under 3 MB.
Does Lazada require a white background?
Lazada’s own pages publish no background or fill rule. A plain white background is still the safe choice for the main image, and it matches what Shopee Mall and TikTok Shop recommend.
