Additional guidelines

To ensure the best possible customer experience, we recommend that you upload a minimum of four images for each listing. See the table below for guidance.

Requirement	Example
If images are not yet available for your item, use this Walmart placeholder image. Your item won’t be published until you’ve replaced the placeholder with a product image that meets image requirements.
All images should correspond with the product name and type.
All images should correspond with key attributes in the product name.
All images should include the product or product features.
There should be no image duplication on the item page.
All images must be in focus and professionally lit. Main images should feature items on a seamless white background. Images of larger items may feature the item in an expected environment.
Crop the item as close as possible to the image frame. Avoid excessive background space around the item. Don't resize smaller images to fill space, as this reduces image quality.
The main image shouldn't contain watermarks, your name or your logo.
The main image can't show accessories that aren't included with the item, as it may confuse the customer. Avoid positioning too many props in the image.
The images shouldn't include any claims or promotional language about the item.
Swatch images should be provided where applicable.
Images shouldn’t include  Walmart or other retailer/eCommerce platform logos or names.
Images shouldn’t include languages other than English.

Notes

These lists are not comprehensive for all product categories. Some categories have additional requirements. For more information see Content Standards: Overview. Walmart reserves the right to remove any images that violate Walmart policy.

Frequently asked questions

Are there specific image requirements for each product category?

What happens if my images don't follow all requirements?

Can I use stock photos?

I am participating in the Walmart Pre-Owned Program; do I need to include images in my product listings?

I submitted an image. Why isn’t it showing on Walmart.com?

Because there may be multiple sellers providing content for the same item, you may not always be able to define which content will be displayed on Walmart.com. Walmart will determine the best available content for items unless it's provided by a brand owner or authorized reseller. Items that can't be updated will appear locked during the updating process. Learn more in How to update content: Overview.

I’m not sure if my image URL domain is whitelisted by Walmart. How can I confirm?

My URL seems to meet the requirements, but it’s not functioning properly. What should I do?

I am having trouble uploading my image. Who can I contact for help?

My Amazon URLs failed the HTTP HEAD call. What should I do?

What should I do if my image URLs are not on one of the supported ports?
