Questions sellers ask

What aspect ratio does the Etsy preset use?

4:3 landscape (about 1,200 × 900 px), following Etsy's advice to upload landscape images and keep the product centered so thumbnails crop cleanly.

Will it still look handmade?

The preset uses a soft, warm light-neutral background and a natural surface instead of a sterile studio white, and keeps your product exactly as it is.

Can I make several photos for one listing?

Yes. The listing kit makes a main image, three lifestyle scenes and an ad image in one click (18 credits).
