Rule 04 · Stick to 4:3 or 1:1
规则 04 · 用 4:3 或 1:1
I learned this when my wide banner looked fine in Photoshop and got chopped in search. Buyers only saw half the product.
我踩过这坑：宽幅首图在软件里看着挺好，搜索缩略图里却被裁掉一半，买家只看到半个商品。
Rule 04规则 04
What this means: common Etsy guidance prefers 4:3 (for example 2700×2025) or 1:1 square. Extreme panoramas clip harder in search tiles.
If you ignore it: the listing still opens. In search, the square crop may cut off your product or leave it looking off-center next to cleaner tiles.
How I fix it: I keep the item inside the centre square even when the master is 4:3. TagPeek shows that safe zone on local checks so I can see the crop before I upload.
这条要求什么：常见建议是用 4:3（例如 2700×2025）或 1:1 方图。特别宽的图在搜索格子里更容易被裁。
不过会怎样：商品页照样能开。搜索里方格裁切可能切掉主体，或看起来歪歪扭扭，旁边店铺却很整齐。
怎么修：就算原图是 4:3，我也把商品放在中间方框里。TagPeek 本地检测会标出安全区，上传前就能看见裁切效果。

Is 16:9 allowed?
16:9 可以吗？
Etsy may accept the upload, but a 16:9 hero often loses edges in square search crops more than 4:3 or 1:1.
可能能上传，但 16:9 在方格裁切里比 4:3 / 1:1 更容易丢边。
Should I pad the image to 1:1?
要垫成 1:1 吗？
I usually export 4:3 with the product centred so square crops stay clean. Empty bars that push the item out of the middle waste the frame.
我通常导出 4:3 并居中主体，方格裁切更稳。空边把主体挤出中间，反而浪费画面。
Does TagPeek copy Etsy’s exact crop?
TagPeek 能复刻 Etsy 的裁切吗？
No. We show a rough square safe zone you can check by eye — not a claim to match every Etsy crop.
不能。我们只给一个大概的方格安全区，方便你目视核对 —— 不宣称和每一次 Etsy 裁切完全一致。
