SUMMARY:Google deadline: Google Shopping will reject product images smalle
 r than 500 x 500 pixels
DESCRIPTION:From 31 January 2027\, every product image you send to Google 
 Merchant Center must be at least 500 x 500 pixels. Until now the minimum 
 was 100 x 100\, or 250 x 250 for clothing. Products with smaller images w
 ill be disapproved and drop out of Shopping ads and free listings.\n\nWha
 t to do:\n- Find images that are too small: In Google Merchant Center\, c
 heck for image warnings and list every product with images under 500 x 50
 0 pixels.\n- Replace them before 31 January 2027: Swap in bigger images\,
  ideally 1500 x 1500 pixels or more. Manufacturer images are often the cu
 lprit\, so ask suppliers for higher-resolution files.\n- Stop new small i
 mages getting in: Add a minimum image size to your product upload checkli
 st\, or ask your developer for a check\, so new products meet the rule fr
 om day one.\n- Check again in early January: Re-run the Merchant Center c
 heck after Christmas so nothing is disapproved just as the new rule start
 s.\n\nFull story: https://www.ecomwire.co.uk/story/google-product-images-
