Quick answer
Etsy accepts WebP natively, but many sellers use JPG for broader compatibility. Convert WebP to JPG at quality 85-90 for smaller file sizes and faster uploads.
Etsy supports both WebP and JPG, but JPG is still the standard for product images. Here is why and how to convert.
Does Etsy accept WebP?
Yes, Etsy accepts WebP in 2026. However, most sellers still use JPG because:
- JPG is more compatible with mobile browsers.
- Seller tools and preview images use JPG.
- Social media shares (Pinterest, Facebook) work better with JPG.
Best format for Etsy product images
- JPG quality 85-90: fast uploads, good quality, widely supported.
- PNG (if transparency needed): for product images with transparent backgrounds.
- WebP: smaller files, works fine, but JPG is still standard.
Image size and optimization
Etsy recommends:
- Minimum 500x500 pixels (will be scaled up).
- Maximum 20 MB per image (most JPG/WebP are well under).
- Square aspect ratio preferred (1:1) for product thumbnails.
Convert WebP to JPG quality 85 and you will get fast uploads and good quality.
