What Save does for eBay
- Crops each photo around the model to 1:1 at full height, with no bars and no blurred fill, and previews the crop before you download.
- Saves it as JPEG and keeps the file under the limit (12 MB) by lowering the JPEG quality until it fits.
- If none of your photos has a white background, Save offers a white version of a photo you already made for 5 credits: the same model, pose and product on pure white.
- Puts every download in a folder for the site, in upload order, and carries an AI-image tag inside each file.

Questions
eBay photos
What size should eBay product photos be?
Torbilo saves eBay photos at 1600 × 1600 px, shape 1:1, as a JPEG under 12 MB. eBay recommends this shape but takes others. Rules change, so check eBay's own seller help before a big upload.
Does eBay need a white background?
Its rules ask for a pure white main photo. If none of your photos has one, Save offers a white version of a photo you already made for 5 credits.
Can I use AI-made photos on eBay?
eBay's rules about AI-made images can change and Torbilo can't speak for them, so read its current policy before you list. Every Torbilo download carries an AI-image tag inside the file, and some sites, such as Google Shopping, ask for it.
How do I get eBay photos from Torbilo?
In Settings, add eBay to My marketplaces. When a shoot is done, open Save and look under For my marketplaces: you see a preview of what eBay gets, then download up to 24 photos at a time. Downloads are free.
