# Check your photo against OnBuy's rules.

OnBuy 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 12 October 2026). Size, file size and format are checked as well.

## 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.

## OnBuy main images, answered.

**What background does OnBuy require for the main image?**

White background (recommended). The checker reads the background from the edges of the photo and reports its exact RGB value.

**Where do these figures come from?**

From OnBuy — OnCommerce API Documentation v2 (Image Download Requirements; Content Scope); Seller Terms v3.0.0, read on 12 October 2026. Marketplaces update their rules; the [official page](https://docs.api.onbuy.com/) is the final reference.

**Is my image uploaded?**

No. The file is read and processed inside your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
