Preparing photos for Etsy
How do I use the edited photos in my Etsy shop?
Export your finished photos from PhotoFig and add them to your Etsy listings. Choose the first image and check its thumbnail crop in the listing preview.
How should I photograph personalized products?
Etsy requires the first image of a personalized listing to show a finished customized example. Start with that photo; use additional images to explain the available options.
Can I keep a consistent look across different handmade items?
Yes. Reuse backgrounds, canvas layouts and export sizes. Review each item individually so its shape, texture and small differences remain visible.
