- 02
Open the Text & Sticker Editor, apply the recommended settings above and keep the preview focused on recognizable thumbnails, repeatable batches and channel consistency.
- 03
Download a separate copy, reopen it and test it in Etsy before replacing the original.
Quality and privacy
Keep a reusable master and record the settings that worked for Etsy.
Create each revision from the master instead of repeatedly recompressing an exported copy.
Before publishing, check transparency, orientation, faces, names, license plates and GPS metadata.
Proofread names, prices and dates before exporting. Keep the untouched original until the final file has been accepted at its destination. Platform image requirements can change. The current upload screen always takes priority.
