TikTok Shop image requirements (2026)

Minimum size

600×600 px (universal hard floor)

Recommended size

800×800 px or larger recommended (Good tier is reached by ≥5 images over 600×600 + a full description, not a larger pixel size)

Max file size

5 MB

Formats

JPG · PNG

Aspect ratio

Square recommended; the spec gives min/max pixel dimensions rather than a strict 1:1 rule

• idrequired

  Unique product identifier, up to 100 characters. TikTok's XML templates use g:id; only the CSV template names the column sku_id.

• titlerequired

  Product name. 40–150 chars (TikTok's quality range; clickbait / variant / inventory text is banned). The ≤60 figure is a Meta convention, not TikTok's.

• descriptionrequired

  Poor < 80 chars; Fair ≥ 80 chars or includes an image. UK seller guidance specifies ≥30 words for Good tier.

• availabilityrequired

  in stock, available for order, preorder, out of stock, or discontinued.

• conditionrequired

  new, refurbished, or used. Often missed by sellers.

• pricerequired

  Number + currency code.

• linkrequired

  Product page URL.

• image_linkrequired

  Primary image URL. TikTok's catalog docs require the URL to end in .jpg, .jpeg or .png. additional_image_link supports up to 10 comma-separated URLs.

• brandrequired

  Manufacturer or store brand. Often missed by sellers, required for catalog feed.

• google_product_categoryoptional

  TikTok reuses Google's taxonomy. Optional but improves categorisation.

• Listing tiers are about image count and quality
  Tiers (Poor / Fair / Good) are based on image count and quality, NOT pixel-size thresholds. Good tier requires ≥5 high-resolution (>600×600) images and a thorough description.
• Hard floor: 600×600 px
  Below this is rejected outright. Universal, not tier-dependent.
• Hard ceiling: 6000×6000 px
  TikTok will reject oversized images.
• Square recommended
  TikTok crops to square in many surfaces. Doc gives pixel dimensions, not a strict aspect ratio.
• PNG or JPG only
  Unlike GMC and Meta, no other formats accepted.
• No watermarks
  Brand logos used as watermarks are rejected. Stricter than Meta.
• No pixelation, no B&W
  Colour required. Low-resolution sources get rejected.
• Product fills ≥80% of frame
  Product centred, fills majority of the visible area.
• Up to 9 images per product
  ≥5 high-resolution images qualifies for "Good" tier (the count + quality threshold, not pixel thresholds).

• Reusing watermarked product photos from Instagram, TikTok rejects them.
• Submitting only one image when category requires multiple angles (footwear, jewelry). Even meeting the 600×600 floor, count matters for tier.
• Conflating TikTok Shop product upload (seller dashboard) with TikTok Ads catalog feed, the two products have overlapping but not identical field requirements.
• Looking for a feed-URL field in Seller Center. TikTok Shop listings sync from your store (for example Shopify's TikTok channel) or are added in Seller Center; they do not take a feed URL. A feed URL goes into a catalog in TikTok Ads Manager (Catalog → Add products → Data feed), which powers catalog ads.

Emberfeed checks every product in your feed against this platform’s required fields and format rules: prices, availability values, GTIN checksums, title and link lengths, image URLs. Most problems come with a fix, a field rule for the whole feed or an override for one product. It does not check image dimensions for this platform.

Emberfeed is a hosted tool: it imports your existing product feed, renders every product image through one template and serves a new feed URL for Meta, Google, TikTok, Heureka, Zboží.cz and Glami. It costs 25 € per feed per month, and the first 3 months are free on one feed up to 1,000 products.
