pre-flight for marketplace images · amazon us, walmart, google shopping, ebay, etsy

The photo that gets your listing suppressed has a rule number.

We audit every image in your catalog against each marketplace’s own rulebook. We name the rule it failed, and hand back the fixed file.

Amazon says “main image is not compliant” and stops there. We say which rule, what we measured, and the one thing to change.

01the notice you actually get

Six rules could have killed it. The notice names none of them.

A machine enforces the rules and a form letter explains them. The days you lose are spent guessing which of six things it was.

Your listing has been suppressed from search results. Main image is not compliant.

that is the entire notice. no rule id, no measurement, no fix, and the listing is already out of search.

Pixel math for what is measurable. Judgment for the rest.

Hard maths answers anything a number can settle, with certainty. A frontier vision model answers the calls that used to need a human eye.

03how every finding is written

One sentence of rule. One of measurement. One of remedy.

05the shape of the promise

We quote the rulebook. We do not speculate.

  • We never crawl a marketplace

    Images arrive by upload, or by you pasting your own image URLs. Nothing is fetched from a live listing.

  • We only touch pixels where the fix is mechanical

    Padding, recentring, flattening near-white, removing alpha, converting to sRGB, recompressing. Nothing invented.

  • We are affiliated with no marketplace

    We read their published rules and cite them by ID. No approval, no endorsement, no partnership.

  • Your images are deleted 30 days after the audit

    The report link keeps working for those 30 days, so a studio can open it. Then it is gone.

Drop 5 images. See what Amazon will reject.
