Slot by slot
What to put in each image slot
| Slot | Purpose | Spec |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — Hero | Catalog thumbnail | Pure white, centred, 2000² |

Avoid these
Mistakes that quietly hurt rankings
- 1Off-white or grey background — Flipkart's white-balance check fails it.
- 2Resolution under 2000 px, below the recommended minimum.
- 3Visible studio props, stands, or hands.
- 4Heavy shadows — Flipkart prefers even lighting across the product.
FAQ
Flipkart image questions
What size should Flipkart product images be?
Minimum 2000 × 2000 pixels, square (1:1), in JPEG. Higher resolution is preferred, and smaller images look soft when shoppers zoom.
Does Flipkart require a white background?
Yes — the hero image must be on a pure white background, with the product centred in the frame, no text or watermarks. Enforcement has tightened since late 2025.
Can I use AI-generated images on Flipkart?
Yes, provided the image accurately depicts the product being shipped and meets Flipkart's standard image policy (white background, centred, ≥2000², no overlays). Flipkart does not separately regulate AI generation as of 2026.
How many product images can a Flipkart listing have?
Most categories accept up to 8 images. The category-specific limit appears in the listing form when you upload — confirm there before publishing.
