Daraz Product Images Decide Your Click-Through Rate
On Daraz, your product image is the first — and often the only — thing a buyer judges before tapping. Two sellers can list the same item at the same price, but the one with a clean, correctly-sized, white-background photo gets the click. The other gets scrolled past.
Most Daraz seller guides stop at "use a 1000x1000 white-background JPG." That's correct, but it solves the problem for one image. Real Daraz sellers don't have one product — they have dozens or hundreds, often photographed on a phone at full resolution, in mixed sizes, sometimes still in iPhone HEIC format. Resizing and compressing those one by one is where an afternoon disappears.
This guide covers two things: the exact Daraz image requirements for 2026, and the fast way to apply them to your entire catalog at once instead of image by image.
Daraz Image Requirements — The Complete 2026 Specification
Here is every Daraz product image rule sellers need to follow. The primary (first) image is the one that appears in search and category listings, so it has the strictest rules.
- Primary image background: pure white (#FFFFFF) — mandatory
- Minimum dimensions: 800x800 pixels
- Recommended dimensions: 1000x1000 pixels (or larger for zoom)
- Maximum dimensions: 5000x5000 pixels
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 (perfect square)
- File format: JPG (JPEG) preferred; PNG accepted
- Maximum file size: 5 MB per image
- Product coverage: product must fill at least 80% of the frame
- Additional images: up to 8 per listing (lifestyle backgrounds allowed)
- Not allowed on primary image: watermarks, logos, text overlays, promotional banners
The 5 MB limit is a ceiling, not a target. A correctly sized 1000x1000 JPG at quality 80 is usually 150-400 KB — over 10x smaller than the limit. Smaller files load faster on mobile data, which is how most Daraz buyers shop.
Why File Size Matters More on Daraz Than on Shopify
On a desktop Shopify store, a slightly heavy image is forgivable. On Daraz, it isn't. The overwhelming majority of Daraz traffic is mobile, and a large share of buyers are on slower or metered mobile connections across Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.
When your listing images are heavy, they load slowly or render blank for a moment on a weak connection — and the buyer scrolls to a competitor whose image appeared instantly. Hitting the 1000x1000 dimension is only half the job; compressing the file so it loads fast is the other half. Both should be done before you upload, not left to chance.
This is also where converting to a lighter format helps. Daraz accepts JPG, but a well-compressed JPG (or WebP where you control the storefront) at quality 80 keeps the photo sharp while cutting weight dramatically.
The Real Problem: One-by-One Tools Don't Scale
Most free image tools — and most Daraz guides — walk you through resizing a single photo: upload one, resize one, compress one, download one. That is fine for your first listing. It is painful for your fiftieth.
If you sell 100 products with 3 images each, that's 300 images to resize to 1000x1000, compress under the limit, and convert to JPG. Done one at a time, that is genuinely a full day of repetitive clicking. This is the step that quietly stops sellers from fixing their whole catalog — so they fix a few listings and give up.
The fix is batch processing: apply the same Daraz-correct settings to every image in one pass.
If you manage products in a spreadsheet (most Daraz sellers do), you can skip downloading images entirely. Paste your image URLs into a sheet and convert the whole column at once — covered in Method 2 below.
Method 1: Bulk-Resize Your Whole Catalog From Files
If your product photos are saved as files on your phone or computer, this is the fastest route to a Daraz-ready catalog.
- 1Open the Bulk Image Converter and drag in all your product photos at once
- 2Set output format to JPG (Daraz's preferred format), or WebP if you also run your own store
- 3Set resize to 1000x1000 px and quality to 80 — the Daraz sweet spot
- 4Click Convert — every image is processed in a single batch, in your browser
- 5Download the ZIP and upload the images to your Daraz listings
Method 2: Convert Straight From a Spreadsheet (No Downloads)
This is the method built for sellers who already keep products in a spreadsheet or who pull images from a supplier catalog. Instead of downloading and re-uploading every file by hand, you let the tool fetch each image from its URL.
BatchSet's Excel Converter takes a column of image URLs, fetches each one, resizes and compresses it to your Daraz settings, and packages everything into a single ZIP — so a 300-image catalog becomes one upload and one download.
- 1Put your image URLs in one column of an Excel sheet or CSV (one image per row)
- 2Upload the spreadsheet to the Excel Converter and map the URL column
- 3Set output to JPG, 1000x1000 px, quality 80
- 4Run the batch and download the ZIP of Daraz-ready images
Recommended Daraz Image Settings
Use these settings as your default for every Daraz product image. They satisfy the requirements while keeping files fast on mobile.
- Format: JPG (use WebP only on storefronts you control, not the Daraz upload itself)
- Dimensions: 1000x1000 px (use 1500x1500 for products buyers will zoom into, like jewelry or fabric)
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 square — crop to square before resizing so nothing important is cut off
- Quality: 80 (visually identical to the original on a phone screen)
- Target file size: under 500 KB — well below the 5 MB ceiling
- File names: descriptive, like blue-cotton-kurta-front.jpg, for cleaner organization
White Background Rules for the Primary Image
Daraz enforces a white (#FFFFFF) background on the primary image for a reason: when every product sits on the same clean background in search results, buyers compare the products, not the photography. White-background primary images also consistently convert better — they look official and trustworthy.
The most reliable way to get a clean white background is to capture it at photo time: place the product on a white sheet or near a white wall, shoot in soft, indirect daylight (not direct sun, which casts harsh shadows), and frame the product straight-on so it fills 80-85% of the square. A good white-on-white capture means your batch step is just resize, compress, and convert — no per-image editing.
If your camera is set to HEIC (common on iPhone), convert those files to JPG first. The Bulk Converter handles HEIC to JPG in the same batch as your resizing, so it's not a separate chore.
Watermarks, store logos, price stickers, and text overlays are not allowed on the primary image and are a common rejection reason. Save those for your store banner, never the product's main photo.
Additional Images (2-8): Where You Win the Sale
The primary image gets the click; images 2 through 8 close the sale and cut returns. Unlike the primary, these can use lifestyle backgrounds and context. Strong sellers use all of them.
- Multiple angles — front, back, side, and top so there are no surprises
- Scale reference — the product next to a hand or common object so size is clear
- In-use shots — the item worn or used in real context
- Detail shots — texture, stitching, material, or key features up close
- What's in the box — packaging and included accessories
- Size chart — for clothing and footwear, added as an image
Category-Specific Quick Rules
A few category nuances that consistently lift performance on Daraz:
- Clothing & fashion: flat-lay works for fabric; model shots convert better for ready-to-wear; always include a size chart
- Electronics & accessories: show every item in the box (cables, adapters, manual) and any ports or buttons clearly
- Packaged food & FMCG: front label must be readable; show the back label and net weight in an additional image
- Shoes & bags: show both shoes and the sole; show the bag's interior in an additional image
Common Daraz Image Rejection Reasons (and the Fix)
Most rejections come down to a handful of repeat issues. Almost all of them are prevented by batching your catalog with correct settings up front.
- Background not white → re-shoot on white; keep the canvas pure #FFFFFF, not off-white or grey
- Product fills under 80% of the frame → crop to square and scale the product up before resizing
- Watermark or text on primary → remove all logos, stickers, and overlays from the main image
- Blurry or low resolution → start from a higher-resolution source; never upscale a tiny image
- Wrong shape → crop to a true 1:1 square so Daraz doesn't auto-crop and clip your product
- File too large → compress to quality 80; a 1000x1000 JPG should be well under 500 KB
Selling on Daraz and Instagram? Resize Once for Every Channel
Many Daraz sellers also post the same products to Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok — each with its own preferred dimensions. Re-cropping every product for every platform by hand is the same one-by-one trap as before.
BatchSet's Social Media Resizer generates all the platform sizes from a single upload, so one product photo becomes a Daraz square, an Instagram post, a Facebook image, and a TikTok frame in one step. Combined with the bulk converter, your whole catalog goes from raw phone photos to every-channel-ready in two passes.
Measuring the Impact
After you push a corrected, properly compressed catalog live, watch two things over the following one to two weeks: the click-through rate on your listings (clean white-background squares lift it) and your listing approval rate (correct dimensions and no overlays cut rejections to near zero).
The combination of a sharper primary image and a faster-loading file is exactly what separates the listing that gets tapped from the one that gets scrolled past — and on Daraz, that tap is the whole game.
