How to Compress Images for Amazon Product Images on iPhone

Updated June 9, 2026 · 7 min read

You do not need an app to shrink photos on an iPhone. Marketplace images need enough resolution for zoom while still uploading reliably through seller tools.

Recommended settings for Amazon product images

SettingStarting point
FormatJPEG (WebP where accepted)
Widthabout 2000 px on the long edge
Quality78
File size500 KB or less

These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.

How to Compress Images

Open Safari, visit TheCompressJPEG and tap the file picker. Choose photos from your library; iOS will hand them over as JPEG even if they were shot in HEIC.

Set the target to 500 KB or a maximum width of 2000 pixels, tap Compress, and save the result to Files or Photos. Everything stays on the phone, which matters for personal pictures used for Amazon product images.

Step by step with TheCompressJPEG

  1. Open the compress JPEG to 500 KB tool, or the main compressor for custom settings.
  2. Drop in your image. Nothing is uploaded; it is processed in your browser.
  3. Set the maximum width to 2000 and the target size to 500 KB.
  4. Press Compress, check the result and download it.

Quick tips

  • Check the result on a phone, where most people will see it.
  • Use consistent dimensions for a set of related images.
  • Resize before you compress; it improves quality at any file size.
  • Write a size limit slightly below the stated maximum to leave a margin.
