Depop Photo Size Guide (2026)

Depop displays listing photos as squares. Non-square uploads get auto-cropped to 1:1 from the center, which can cut off parts of your item.

The recommended resolution is 1080×1080 pixels or 1280×1280 pixels for sharper display. The minimum is 640px on the longest side.

With only 4 photo slots per listing, every image matters. Your first photo is the cover — it needs to stop people from scrolling.

Depop's 4-photo limit is strict. Here's how to use each slot:

Photo 1 (Cover): Full item, clean background, natural light. This is what shows in search and the Explore page.

Photo 2: Different angle or the item being worn/styled. Depop buyers love seeing items on a person.

Photo 3: Close-up of details — brand label, texture, unique features, or any flaws.

Photo 4: Measurements, care label, or a styling flat-lay. Give buyers the info they need to skip the questions.

Depop's audience is younger and more style-conscious than other platforms. What works:

Natural, editorial-style photos. Think Instagram, not Amazon. Lifestyle shots outperform plain product photos.

Consistent look. Use a similar background and lighting across your shop. Cohesive shops get more followers.

No heavy filters. Filters can misrepresent color and lead to returns. Light editing is fine — heavy processing is not.

Phone photos contain hidden EXIF data including GPS coordinates. Depop does not guarantee metadata removal.

With fashion items often photographed at home, your address could be embedded in every listing photo.

This tool strips all EXIF data automatically. For details on which platforms protect your data, see our seller photo privacy guide.
