Correct Image Size on Mercado Livre: 2026 Guide

Official dimensions for product photo, banner, and thumbnail on Mercado Livre. Find the size that maximizes quality and approval.

Dimensions recommended by Mercado Livre

  • Main product photo: minimum 500×500 px, ideal 1200×1200 px.
  • Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square) for the best result in the grid.
  • Accepted formats: JPG or PNG.
  • Maximum file size per image: 12 MB.
  • Maximum photos per listing: 12 images.
  • Store banner (Official Stores): 1200×600 px.

Why use 1200×1200 px instead of just the minimum

Mercado Livre allows photo zoom. Images at just 500×500 px become blurry when enlarged. With 1200×1200 px, customers can see product details, which increases trust and conversion.

How to create a banner at the right size

  • Use the Mercado Livre Banner tool on Lumageni.
  • The template is already set to 1200×600 px.
  • Add text, price, and logo.
  • Export as compressed JPG.

Practical tip: On Mercado Livre, the first photo appears in both the listing grid and the product page. Invest in a high-quality photo with a neutral background and centered product.
