For Depop sellers

Depop listing photo requirements & best image size (2026)

Depop sits at the intersection of Gen-Z fashion, streetwear, and vintage resale. Unlike Vinted's volume-game, Depop rewards aesthetic — your shop's grid is your brand, and buyers shop the vibe before the item. Only 4 photo slots per listing means every photo has to pull its weight. Here's the 2026 spec sheet plus the photo strategy top Depop shops use.

Depop image requirements (2026)

Recommended dimensions	1280 × 1280 px square — the size Depop displays at zoom on the app
Aspect ratio	Square (1:1) — strictly enforced; non-square crops awkwardly in the grid
Maximum file size	20 MB per photo
Maximum photos per listing	4 (compared to Vinted's 20 — every slot matters)
Accepted formats	JPG, PNG, HEIC (mobile-native — no WebP on seller uploads)
Video	Yes — 1 video per listing, up to 60 seconds, vertical preferred
Background	Any — styled lifestyle backgrounds typically outperform clean cutouts on Depop
Shop aesthetic	Consistent edit style across your entire shop grid is the single biggest brand signal

Best practices that move conversion

→Photo 1: thumbnail — front view of the item with consistent shop aesthetic. This appears in your shop grid forever
→Photo 2: lifestyle or on-model shot. Depop buyers want to see how the item wears, not just how it looks flat
→Photo 3: detail close-up of fabric, hardware, label, or notable wear
→Photo 4: scale shot, secondary angle, or any flaw (vintage/used items)
→Consistent background and color palette across your shop — Depop's grid is the brand. Mixing scenes hurts perceived quality
→Upload a 60-second vertical video for hero items — listings with video convert at ~2× the rate of photo-only

How Palmou AI lines up with Depop's specs

Above the 1280 px threshold

Scene-gen output is ~1024 px square; for the 1280 minimum use the cutout-only flow which preserves source resolution from any 4K phone photo.

FAQ — Depop images

What's the best photo size for Depop in 2026?▾

1280 × 1280 px square. Depop displays at this size on the app's zoom view. Smaller looks soft on Retina; larger gets re-encoded server-side with no quality benefit.

Can I use AI scenes on Depop listings?▾

Yes. Depop's policy allows edited backgrounds as long as the item itself is represented accurately. Image-edit AI preserves the garment exactly and only modifies the surrounding scene — widely used by top shops in 2026.

How many photos should a Depop listing have?▾

All 4 if you can fill them meaningfully. Depop only allows 4 slots, so unlike Vinted/eBay there's no volume game — quality per slot is the only lever. Use them: thumbnail, lifestyle/on-model, detail, scale or flaw.
