Frequently asked questions
General
Is PixListing free?
Yes. PixListing is free to use and needs no account. Files can be up to 25 MB, 20 images per batch.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so your photos stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded. That includes background removal.
Which browsers work?
Any current browser, on a computer or a phone. Background removal works on a computer in Chrome or Edge; phones and tablets don’t have enough memory for the AI model.
Can I rename the downloaded files?
Yes. Click a photo’s name under Results and type a new one, such as a SKU. Downloads and the ZIP use it.
Does it remember my settings?
Yes. Each tool keeps the settings you last used, in your browser only. Clear the site’s data to reset them.
Do I need an account?
No. Open a tool and use it.
Marketplace Photos
Which sizes do you use?
Amazon 2000 × 2000 px, Etsy 3000 × 2250 px, eBay 1600 × 1600 px, Shopify 2048 × 2048 px, Walmart 2200 × 2200 px, TikTok Shop 1200 × 1200 px, Facebook Shops 1024 × 1024 px. Where a marketplace publishes a recommended size we use it, so zoom works.
Can I fix the background removal?
Yes. Click “Edit cutout” under a photo, or “Fix by hand” on a failed check, to erase or restore parts with a brush. The photo is redone and checked again.
Can I name the files by SKU?
Yes. Click the photo’s name under Results and type the SKU. Downloads and the ZIP use it, e.g. MUG-01-amazon.jpg.
Why does it say “Use a photo at least 1,000 px”?
Every photo is enlarged to the marketplace’s size. A small original still passes the size rules but looks soft when shoppers zoom in.
Will my photos be uploaded to the marketplaces?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so your photos stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded. You download the files and upload them to your listings yourself.
Why is my Amazon main image suppressed?
Usually the background is not pure white, the product is too small in the frame, or there is text or a logo on the image. Run the photo through this checker to see which rule fails.
Can this remove a colored background?
Yes, on a computer in Chrome or Edge: turn on “Remove background”. If the AI misses a spot, fix it with the brush in “Edit cutout”.
Do Etsy photos need a white background?
No. Etsy allows lifestyle photos. For lifestyle shots, turn off “Center product on white” and use “Fill the frame”.
What photo size should I use for eBay?
About 1600 × 1600 px. The minimum is 500 × 500 px, and files can be up to 12 MB.
Do I need a Shopify app to resize images?
No. Resize here, then upload the images to your products as usual.
What size should Walmart product images be?
2200 × 2200 px is recommended, and at least 1500 × 1500 px for zoom. Files must be 5 MB or smaller.
Can I use GIF images on Walmart?
No. Walmart accepts JPEG, PNG and BMP. This tool saves JPG.
How many photos can a TikTok Shop product have?
Up to 9. TikTok Shop’s quality guidelines suggest five or more, with a clean main image and no watermarks or promotional text.
Do the same images work on Instagram?
Yes. Facebook and Instagram Shops use the same Meta catalog, with the same image specs.
Remove Background

Can I fix the cutout?

Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so your photos stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded. That includes the AI.
Why PNG?
JPG has no transparency. PNG keeps the transparent background and every pixel.
Is the white pure white?
Yes, RGB 255, 255, 255, which is what Amazon and Walmart ask for on main images.
Compress Image
Will compression reduce image quality?
Lossy formats lose some fine detail. At the default quality of 75 it is hard to see in most photos; raise the quality if you need a closer match to the original.
What if the compressed file is bigger than the original?
Some images are already well optimized. In that case we keep your original file, so you never download a bigger version.
Can every image be compressed to 20KB?
Most can. Large or very detailed photos are scaled down to reach 20KB, and you see the final dimensions. If a file still can’t reach it, you get the smallest result and a note.
Can every image be compressed to 50KB?
Most can. Large or very detailed photos are scaled down to reach 50KB, and you see the final dimensions. If a file still can’t reach it, you get the smallest result and a note.
Can every image be compressed to 100KB?
Most can. Large or very detailed photos are scaled down to reach 100KB, and you see the final dimensions. If a file still can’t reach it, you get the smallest result and a note.

Is JPG and JPEG the same?
Yes. They are two extensions for the same format. Both work with this tool.
Will transparency be kept?
Yes. PNG output keeps the alpha channel exactly as it was.
Resize Image
Does resizing reduce file size?
Yes, making an image smaller in pixels also makes the file smaller. For an exact file size, use the Compress tool with a target size.
Can I make an image larger?
Yes, but enlarging cannot add detail, so the result may look soft. It is best to start from the largest original you have.
Will Instagram still compress my image?
Platforms re-compress uploads, but starting at the exact recommended size avoids an extra resize on their side and keeps your image sharper.
Will YouTube Thumbnail still compress my image?
Platforms re-compress uploads, but starting at the exact recommended size avoids an extra resize on their side and keeps your image sharper.
Convert Image
What happens to transparency when converting to JPG?
JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white.
Will my iPhone photo lose quality?
Not visibly. The JPG is saved at quality 90 by default; raise it to 100 in Settings if you need the most detail.
What happens to transparent areas?
JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white.
Why is the PNG bigger than the original?
PNG is lossless: it stores every pixel exactly. For photos that makes files larger than JPG; it is best for graphics, screenshots and images that need transparency.
Can every browser and app open WebP?
All current browsers can. Some older desktop apps and upload forms still cannot; use JPG for those.
Can every browser and app open AVIF?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari can. Many apps and upload forms cannot yet; keep a JPG or WebP copy for those.
Crop Image
Does cropping reduce quality?
Cropping keeps the original pixels. The image is re-encoded at high quality, or losslessly if you choose PNG.
What size will the square be?
The square uses as much of the original as possible. To get an exact size like 1080×1080, use Resize Image for Instagram afterwards.
