Image too small

The submitted product image doesn't meet Google's minimum dimensions, so the item is disapproved. Current minimums are 100×100 px for most products and 250×250 px for apparel — but Google has announced a 500×500 px minimum for all products with enforcement beginning January 31, 2027, so it's worth upgrading now.

Common causes

• ·A thumbnail URL was mapped into the feed instead of the full-size image
• ·The shop's image pipeline generates small renditions for the feed export
• ·Legacy product images that predate current size requirements

How to fix it

1. 01Find affected items under Products → 'Needs attention' and check the actual pixel dimensions of each image_link
2. 02Replace undersized images with versions of at least 500×500 px to be safe against the announced 2027 minimum (100×100, or 250×250 for apparel, is the current floor)
3. 03Don't upscale small images — export larger originals from your shop system instead
4. 04Update image_link URLs in your source data and re-upload; allow 24–72 hours
