Complete Daraz Seller Product Image Guide (2026)
Your product image is the first thing a Daraz buyer sees. Before they read your title, before they check your price, before they scroll down to your description — they see your image. If that image has a cluttered background, wrong dimensions, a watermark, or low resolution, your listing performs poorly in search and buyers skip past it.
This guide covers everything a Daraz seller needs to know about product images in 2026: the exact technical requirements, why Daraz enforces them, and how to fix your images quickly and for free using AI Background Remover and Image Resizer — no Photoshop, no design skills required.
Daraz Product Image Requirements 2026
These are the current technical specifications Daraz requires for product images:
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Minimum size | 800 × 800 pixels |
| Recommended size | 1000 × 1000 pixels or larger |
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 (square) |
| Background (main image) | Pure white (#FFFFFF) only |
| File format | JPG or PNG |
| Maximum file size | 5 MB per image |
| Number of images | Up to 8 images per listing |
| Watermarks/logos | Not allowed on main image |
| Text overlays | Not allowed on main image |
| Product fill | Product should fill at least 85% of the frame |
Daraz can and does suppress or remove listings that violate these rules. Getting your images right from the start saves you from having your listing demoted in search results.
Why Daraz Requires a White Background
The white background rule is not arbitrary. Daraz enforces it for three reasons:
1. Consistency across the marketplace. When all product main images have white backgrounds, the browsing experience looks professional and uniform. Buyers can compare products without being distracted by different background styles.
2. Search result display. On Daraz search results pages, product thumbnails appear against a white page. A white product background blends seamlessly into the page, making the product itself the focus. A colored or patterned background creates visual noise that reduces click-through rates.
3. Algorithm preference. Daraz's search algorithm favors listings that meet all image quality guidelines. Listings with non-white backgrounds are ranked lower or flagged for review.
The 5 Most Common Daraz Image Mistakes (and How to Fix Them)
Mistake 1: Colored or Gradient Background
Problem: You photographed your product on a table, cloth, or gradient backdrop.
Fix: Use UtilVox AI Background Remover to remove the background in one click and replace it with pure white. The AI detects the product edges automatically — no manual selection needed.
How to do it:
- Go to utilvox.com/tools/background-remover
- Upload your product photo
- The AI removes the background in 3-5 seconds
- Download the result with transparent background
- Use the Image Resizer to add a white canvas if needed
Mistake 2: Wrong Image Dimensions
Problem: Your image is 600×400 pixels (too small) or 1920×1080 (wrong aspect ratio — not square).
Fix: Use UtilVox Image Resizer to resize to exactly 1000×1000 pixels.
How to do it:
- Go to utilvox.com/tools/image-resizer
- Upload your image
- Set width and height to 1000 × 1000
- Download the resized image
Takes 10 seconds. Works on JPG and PNG files.
Mistake 3: Product Too Small in Frame
Problem: Your product is centered but takes up only 40-50% of the image area, leaving large white margins.
Fix: When resizing, crop in tighter to the product. The product should occupy 80-90% of the total image area. Most phone cameras capture too much background — crop before resizing.
Mistake 4: Watermark or Logo on Image
Problem: You added your shop logo or a "Best Quality" stamp on the image. Daraz does not allow this on the main (thumbnail) image.
Fix: Remove the watermark using photo editing or retake the photo. You can add your branding on secondary images (images 2-8), which Daraz allows to show lifestyle shots and product details.
Mistake 5: Image Too Dark or Poorly Lit
Problem: Indoor photography without proper lighting produces dark, yellowish images. Even with a white background, dark lighting makes your product look low quality.
Fix (quick): Use your phone's built-in photo editor to increase brightness and contrast after taking the shot. Most smartphones have this under Edit → Light.
Fix (proper): Natural daylight is the best free lighting. Place your product near a window on an overcast day for soft, even lighting. A white sheet of paper as a background works perfectly and costs nothing.
Step-by-Step: How to Create a Perfect Daraz Product Image
Here is the complete workflow from raw photo to Daraz-ready image:
Step 1: Take the Photo
- Use natural daylight (near a window)
- Place product on a white surface (paper, fabric, or table)
- Shoot from directly above or at eye level
- Keep the product centered in the frame
- Make sure the product fills most of the frame
Step 2: Remove the Background (if needed)
Go to UtilVox AI Background Remover:
- Upload your photo
- Wait 3-5 seconds for AI processing
- Download the transparent PNG
The AI Background Remover works on:
- Clothing and fashion items
- Electronics and gadgets
- Food products
- Cosmetics and skincare
- Shoes and bags
- Jewelry
Step 3: Resize to Daraz Specifications
Go to UtilVox Image Resizer:
- Upload the background-removed PNG
- Set dimensions to 1000 × 1000 pixels
- Download the final image
Your image is now Daraz-ready: 1000×1000, white background, correct format.
Step 4: Optimize the File Size
Daraz has a 5 MB limit per image. High-resolution photos can exceed this. Use UtilVox Image Compressor to reduce file size without visible quality loss before uploading.
Daraz Secondary Images (Images 2–8): What Is Allowed
The strict white background rule applies only to your main listing image (the thumbnail). For secondary images 2 through 8, Daraz allows:
- Lifestyle photos — product being used in a real environment
- Detail shots — close-ups of texture, labels, features
- Size charts — measurements and dimension information
- Infographics — feature highlights with text overlays
- Packaging photos — showing what comes in the box
- Color variants — showing all available colors
These secondary images are extremely important for conversion. Buyers who view secondary images convert at a significantly higher rate than those who see only the main image. Use all 8 image slots.
Image Optimization for Daraz Search Rankings
Getting your image technically correct is step one. Optimizing it for better search placement is step two.
Image file name: Before uploading, rename your image file to include your main keyword. Instead of "IMG_4521.jpg", use "wireless-earbuds-bluetooth-pakistan.jpg". Daraz's system reads file names.
Alt text / image title: When filling out your listing, the image title field (if available) should include your main keyword naturally.
Image quality score: Daraz has an internal quality scoring system for listings. Images that meet all technical requirements, show the product clearly against white, and use high resolution receive higher quality scores which translate to better search placement.
Use all available image slots: Listings with 6-8 images consistently outperform listings with 1-2 images. More images signal a serious seller and give buyers more confidence to purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Daraz reject listings automatically for wrong image size? Not always immediately, but non-compliant listings are ranked lower and may be flagged during quality reviews. It is better to fix images before listing.
Can I use a light grey background instead of white? Daraz specifies white (#FFFFFF). Light grey is technically non-compliant. Stick to pure white to avoid any issues.
What is the fastest way to get white background on product photos? UtilVox AI Background Remover — upload your photo, get transparent background in 5 seconds, then place on white. Faster than any manual editing method.
Can I add my brand name on the main image? No. Text, watermarks, and logos are not allowed on the main product image. Add branding only on secondary images.
What image format does Daraz prefer — JPG or PNG? Both are accepted. JPG is smaller in file size, which is better for page load speed. PNG supports transparency (useful before you finalize on white). For the final upload, JPG at high quality is recommended.
How many images should I upload per listing? Use all available slots — up to 8. Listings with more images have higher conversion rates because buyers feel more confident about what they are buying.
Final Checklist Before Uploading to Daraz
Before you submit your listing, verify every image against this checklist:
- ☐ Main image has pure white background
- ☐ Image is at least 1000 × 1000 pixels
- ☐ Aspect ratio is square (1:1)
- ☐ Product fills 85% or more of the frame
- ☐ No watermarks, logos, or text on main image
- ☐ File size is under 5 MB
- ☐ File format is JPG or PNG

Getting these right from the start means your listings appear in more searches, get more clicks, and convert at a higher rate. The UtilVox tools handle the technical steps — background removal and resizing — in seconds, so you can focus on finding the right products and growing your Daraz store.
