What this means: Etsy serves many sized preview links. Asking for a “2000-wide” preview can return an image that is 2000px on the edge even when your uploaded file was smaller — the preview was scaled up for display.
If you ignore it: you think you “passed 2000px,” while zoom stays off because the real upload is still under the floor. A bigger preview request can even stretch past the true file and hide softness until a buyer zooms.
How I fix it: I stop guessing from sized links. I measure the full-size image when the page exposes it, or I measure the file on my computer before upload. TagPeek’s extension prefers full-size when available; the free site tool reads your local file directly. Pair with Rule 06 and Rule 01.
If I keep notes on listings, I write down the measured full-size dimensions — not the size token in a preview link — so I do not fool myself after the next page change.
这条要求什么:Etsy 会给出很多带尺寸的预览链接。去要一张「宽 2000」的预览,边长可能正好是 2000 —— 哪怕你上传的原图更小,因为预览被放大显示了。
不过会怎样:你以为「过了 2000px」,放大却仍关着,因为真正上传的文件还不够。要更大预览时,还可能被拉得超过原图,糊感要等买家放大才露出来。
怎么修:我不再靠带尺寸的链接猜。页面能拿到时量原尺寸图,或者上传前直接量电脑里的文件。TagPeek 扩展优先读原尺寸;网站免费工具直接读本地文件。可与 规则 06、规则 01 一起看。
如果我记商品笔记,会写下量到的原尺寸数字,不记预览链接里的尺寸字样,免得页面一变又骗自己。
