Minimum product image size raised to 500x500 px for all categories, enforced from January 31, 2027

Google raised the minimum resolution for image_link and additional_image_link to 500x500 pixels across all product categories and marketing methods. Warnings began April 14, 2026 and products with smaller images will be disapproved from January 31, 2027. Google recommends 1500x1500 or larger.

Google may automatically optimize some sub-500px images using high-resolution near-duplicates or AI upscaling to avoid disapproval. Merchants can find affected products via the Needs attention tab ("Image too small for upcoming enforcement") and download the impacted list. The previous minimums were 100x100 (250x250 for apparel).
