- At least 500 px (from 31 Jan 2027); 1500 px or more recommended. Product fills 75–90% of the photo.

What Save does for Google Shopping
- 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 (16 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.
