How Better Images Improve CTR and Sales on Amazon
Why Images Matter More Than Ever on Amazon
On Amazon, your product images are your storefront, sales pitch, and first impression all rolled into one. In a marketplace where buyers scroll fast and decide faster, visuals are everything. You might have the best product in your category, but if your images don’t stop the scroll, you're invisible.
The Link Between Images and Click-Through Rate (CTR)
CTR on Amazon is largely influenced by your main product image. This is the first thing shoppers see in search results. A clean, compelling, high-resolution image can mean the difference between getting clicked or getting skipped.
What Makes a Main Image Perform?
Bright lighting with no shadows
High resolution (recommended 2000px x 2000px with the product using 85% of the image)
Clean white background
Crisp product edges and angles
No text, logos, or badges (per Amazon policy)
When your main image pops, it earns the click. And once you get that click, your other images can seal the deal.
