What is the secret to high quality images on Amazon product pages?

I have followed Amazon's advice and abided by their own criteria for images:

  1. Minimum of 1000px on shortest side.
  2. 72 dpi
  3. .jpeg preferred

Using Adobe Illustrator with very high quality images and text, I tried:

  1. 1000px, then 1600px, then 2000px
  2. 72 dpi, then 100 dpi
  3. .jpeg, then .png

I also tried all kinds of Anti-Aliasing. Yet the images are always somewhat blurry and degraded in quality on all my Amazon Europe stores (5 stores). So what is the secret if abiding by Amazon's own image criteria doesn't work. How does Nespresso have perfect image quality, but my listings look like they were created in MS Paint in low pixel density?

Has anyone figured this out? What export specs gave you real-business-quality results?

I don't have a problem with images but I use Photoshop or Canva. Illustrator is mainly used for vectors rather than photos, converting an image into a .jpeg or .png might result in a loss of quality.

Illustrator or other vector-based programmes should handle raster images fine. It depends on your document and export settings.

But also heavily it depends on the source image. If you're putting a low-resolution image into a vector programme, the software will not be able to scale it up effectively.

Try exporting your raster images to as high quality as possible. I export at least 4000x4000px and 300 dpi. Using the highest quality settings - no compression.

I do think that Amazon's bots sometimes compress the hell of things incorrectly. They occasionally butcher my stuff.

The truth is Amazon far too aggressively compress images, and absolutely murder image quality. Presumably this is done to save bandwidth costs. But it seems very short sighted. There is unfortunately little you can do about it.

You don't need use 300 dpi. 72 is enough.

My settings are 2000px x 2000px ( I try squares) and 72dpi
