Why this issue is happening

One or more of the images associated with your product has poor image quality. This means that your images don’t meet these minimum requirements:

  • Non-apparel images should be at least 100 pixels by 100 pixels. Apparel images should be at least 250 pixels by 250 pixels.
  • No image should be larger than 64 megapixels and no image file should be larger than 16MB.
  • Images shouldn’t have distracting elements like watermarks or dark backgrounds.

As a result, this product may be prevented from showing in ads and free listings until the image quality improves. Learn more about image guidelines.

High image quality correlates strongly with user engagement and clicks. To resolve this issue, improve your image quality. You'll provide a better experience for the users who view your product and may increase performance of your ads and free listings.
