# Check your photo against Hood.de's rules.

Hood.de sets rules for the main image that can be measured from the photo: background colour. Drop a photo to see which ones it meets. It runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

## Choose a marketplace and a photo.

Rules come from each marketplace's own help pages, summarised in the [guides](https://herofab.app/guides/) (checked 27 September 2026). Size, file size and format are checked as well.

## What Hood.de asks for.

- **Main image:** White background (recommended)
- **Size:** At least 800 × 800 pixels, for good image quality
- **Background:** A uniform white or transparent background
- **Framing:** The item clearly recognisable, neither too small nor too large; one image for each variant; details, different perspectives and usage examples help
- **File:** GIF, PNG or JPG; other formats such as BMP cannot be processed, and files saved in CMYK instead of RGB can cause errors
- **Not allowed:** Added text, frames and graphic elements; advertising text such as "Kostenloser Versand"; your company name or logo; placeholder images that do not show the actual product
- **Watermarks:** The photo standards do not permit watermarks with advertising elements or seller names or logos; Hood's selling rules allow a watermark with the company or member name to protect image rights
- **Status:** Hood presents the photo points as a guideline for presenting products well and for being listed by search engines; its selling rules require at least one image per listing that accurately documents the item's condition and features

## How each rule is measured.

- **Background colour:** The background colour is the median of a thin band along all four edges. A pure-white rule passes only when that band is RGB 255, 255, 255; near-white values such as 253 are reported with their exact colour.
- **Scene photos:** Room and lifestyle photos have no plain background to measure against, so fill, edges and shadow are marked as not measured rather than guessed.
