# Etsy Shop Icon Size: Prepare a 500×500 Image

Prepare a 500×500 Etsy shop icon using the official logo recommendation. Compare a complete padded wordmark with a square crop and inspect the background.

## Which dimensions should you use?

Etsy recommends 500×500 pixels for the shop logo. This preset prepares the shop's identity image; the seller's personal profile picture is a separate asset.

Prepare the shop's square identity mark separately from the owner's profile photo

## Check the crop and prepare your image

Free and processed on this device. No account, credits or upload. Your original file is unchanged.

Calculate from pixel dimensions, or choose a photo for an actual preview and download. This prepares the image canvas; check file-size limits and the destination’s final crop separately.

This adds pixels to reach the output size. Resizing cannot recover missing source detail; inspect the preview before using it.

This removes 60.0% of the source area. Move the crop to keep faces, products and important text visible.

## Compose this image

Choose contain when a wide logo needs every letter to remain visible.

Etsy warns that transparent PNG areas can appear black. This exporter uses an opaque white background; inspect the result before upload.

Check that your shop mark still reads clearly when reduced to a compact icon.

## A worked example

A 1000×400 source fills this 500×500 canvas with a crop of about 400×400 source pixels, retaining 40.0% of its area. Filling enlarges the retained pixels by 1.25×; new pixels do not prove new detail. A fill crop removes most of a wide wordmark's sides; contain keeps the whole logo.

## Before you upload

- Use the original logo artwork where possible.
- Inspect the complete mark and the exported background.
- Check the shop icon alongside the shop name and banner.

“Keep whole image” is also called fit or contain; it adds white borders instead of trimming the scene. The exporter sets pixel dimensions and placement. It does not enforce platform byte limits or predict every device’s display crop.

## Questions about Etsy Shop Icon

### Is the shop icon my Etsy account photo?

No. It identifies the shop. Use the separate profile-photo workflow for the owner or account portrait.

### Can a wide wordmark fill the square without cropping?

Only through stretching, which this fitting workflow avoids. Contain preserves proportions and adds space around the mark.
