7. Image guidelines

To remain visible on bol and Google, it is important that images meet the following guidelines:

  • The file size is minimum 30 KB and maximum 10 MB.
  • The image is of high quality: minimum 500×500 pixels and maximum 6000×6000 pixels. White spaces in images do not count towards the set minimum and maximum pixels.
  • The image features a white background.
  • Displays only the item, without logos, watermarks or text.
  • For the main image, do not use an image combining the front, side and rear views in 1 image.
  • The main image should not be a mood image.
  • For the main image, do not use an illustration, drawing, logo or icon to represent the item.
  • No promotional elements, such as price, discount, free shipping or service expressions such as extended warranty.
  • No frame around the image.

If the images do not meet these requirements, an error message will be displayed.

In addition, each image undergoes a number of optimisations before appearing on the platform. These optimisations are:

  • White spaces are cropped automatically.
  • The quality is optimised for the platform. This minimises the leading time to ensure the customer experiences high page loading speed. This may affect the colour fidelity and sharpness of the image(s).
  • When a duplicate is detected, this image will not be loaded. A duplicate is a one-to-one copy.
