Poshmark Photo Size Guide (2026)

Poshmark displays all listing photos as squares. If you upload a non-square image, Poshmark crops it to 1:1 from the center — which can cut off parts of your item.

The recommended resolution is 1200×1200 pixels. This gives enough detail for buyers to zoom in. Photos below 800px look soft on modern phone screens.

Your cover photo is what shows up in search results and the feed. It needs to be your strongest image — clear, well-lit, and showing the full item.

Poshmark applies its own compression after upload. Heavy compression before uploading leads to visible artifacts — soft edges, color banding, blurry text on labels.

Upload at JPEG 85% quality for the best balance. Our tool handles this automatically.

Poshmark does not strip EXIF metadata. Your GPS coordinates, camera model, and timestamps stay in the file. For sellers photographing at home, this means your home address is embedded in every listing photo. Use our tool to strip all metadata before uploading.

Use natural light. Photograph near a window during daytime. Avoid flash — it creates harsh shadows and washes out colors.

Show the item flat or on a model. Flat lays work best for most categories. Hanging items on a door often looks sloppy. If using a model, show front and back.

Use all 16 photo slots. Cover photo, detail shots (tags, fabric texture, measurements), any flaws, and styling inspiration. More photos = more buyer confidence.

Avoid stock photos. Poshmark's community expects authentic photos. Listings with stock images get flagged and may be removed.

Every photo from your phone contains hidden metadata: GPS location, device model, exact timestamp. Poshmark keeps all of it.

A buyer can download your listing photo and extract your home address. This is especially concerning for home-based sellers.

This tool strips all EXIF data automatically. For a deeper look at which platforms strip metadata and which don't, see our seller photo privacy guide.
