- Main image
- White background
- Who it covers
- These guides set the assets Best Buy requires from its suppliers for e-commerce, print, digital media and in-store advertising. Marketplace sellers list through their own seller account, where upload rules may differ from these guides
- Size
- Minimum 1,500 × 1,500 pixels at 300 DPI, identical in the ring, earring, necklace, bracelet, watch, handbag, backpack and luggage guides; a close crop must still meet the minimum
- Background and files
- Cropped close to the product on a white background; EPS, TIFF, JPEG or PSD, in that order of preference; RGB or CMYK
- Minimum shots
- Default image preferably at 45° or front facing. Rings: 45° angle. Earrings: both front facing, then one front facing with one in side profile. Necklaces: front facing. Bracelets: top down. Watches: front and profile. Handbags and backpacks: dynamic 45° main image, front, side, back. Luggage: 45°, front, side, back; sets open with the full set from the front
- Enhanced shots
- Mannequin views for earrings, necklaces and bracelets; a grid or size reference for earrings, necklaces, bracelets, watches and luggage; interior views for handbags, backpacks and luggage; lifestyle or in-use images for watches, handbags, backpacks and luggage; a 360° video, or 20 to 50 photos instead, for rings, watches, handbags, backpacks and luggage
- Marketplace guide
- Best Buy Marketplace's own seller guide lists points to consider rather than requirements: several angles, at least 1,500 × 1,500 pixels for zooming in, lifestyle images in real-life settings, a solid white background, and no logos, watermarks or text laid over the image
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.
