Quick answer

An Etsy big shop banner must be at least 1200 x 300 pixels, and Etsy's own pages recommend 1600 x 400 or 3360 x 840. The ListingFix Etsy banner maker exports those sizes and mini banners as PNG or JPG, with a safe zone guide based on third-party advice, not an Etsy rule.

What this tool does

Four banner sizes
Exports big banners at 3360 x 840 or 1600 x 400, and mini banners at 1600 x 213 or 1200 x 160.
Safe zone guide
Overlays a dashed central box that you can switch off, and always leaves it out of the downloaded file.
Photo or colour background
Uses your own photo or a chosen colour, with a top to bottom position slider for photos.
Text that fits
Sizes your shop name and short line automatically so they stay inside the guide box.
Darken behind text
Adds a dark layer over your photo with one checkbox, which turns on when you add a photo.
PNG and JPG export
Downloads either format at the exact pixel size you selected, with your photo kept on your device.

How to use it

1Pick a banner size, then add a photo or choose a background colour.
2Type your shop name and a short line, and check them against the safe zone guide.
3Download the PNG or JPG. The guide is never included in the file.

Etsy gives two banner types, and its own pages list more than one size. The help center recommends 1600 x 400 for a big banner, while the seller handbook gives 3360 x 840 for best results. Both are the same 4:1 shape, so we default to the larger one, which stays sharper on big screens.

A banner can be cropped on smaller screens, so the guide marks a central area for your shop name and any offer. Etsy does not publish a safe zone, so treat that area as cautious third-party advice and check your live shop on a phone. Your photo stays on your device.

Etsy banner sizes

Big banner: at least 1200 x 300 pixels. Etsy Help recommends 1600 x 400, and the Etsy Seller Handbook gives 3360 x 840 for optimal performance. Mini banner: at least 1200 x 160 pixels, with 1600 x 213 recommended by Etsy Help. Numbers are from Etsy Help and the Seller Handbook, last checked October 2026.

The handbook also says mini banners do not appear on mobile devices, so a big banner is the one to choose if you want buyers on phones to see it.

Where the safe zone comes from

The guide is a centred box 1200 pixels wide and 300 tall on a 3360 x 840 banner, scaled to whichever size you pick. That figure comes from a Printify guide, not from Etsy. It is deliberately tight, so text placed inside it has the best chance of staying visible.

Questions sellers ask

What size should an Etsy big banner be?

Etsy lists a minimum of 1200 x 300 pixels. Its help center recommends 1600 x 400, and its seller handbook says 3360 x 840 for optimal performance. All are 4:1, so you can pick the largest and keep the same design, as this tool does by default.

Does Etsy publish a safe zone?

Not on the pages we read. The guide in this tool follows a third-party recommendation, so it may be stricter than you need, and Etsy can change its layout. After uploading, look at your shop on a phone and a computer to confirm nothing important is cut off.

Should I use a mini banner?

A mini banner is shorter, which moves your listings higher on a computer screen. The Etsy Seller Handbook says it does not appear on mobile devices, though, so buyers on phones will not see it. Choose it only if the banner is not carrying an important message.

Is the safe zone guide saved in the file?

No. The dashed box only shows in the preview, and the file is drawn again without it when you download. You can turn the guide off to see how the finished banner looks, and your photo is never uploaded anywhere.

What size is an Etsy mini banner?

Etsy lists a minimum of 1200 x 160 pixels for a mini banner, and Etsy Help recommends 1600 x 213. This tool exports both. The Etsy Seller Handbook says mini banners do not appear on mobile devices, so keep that in mind before choosing one.

Why does my Etsy banner get cut off on my phone?

A banner can be cropped on smaller screens, so text near the edges may disappear. Etsy does not publish a safe zone on the pages we read, so this tool marks a cautious central box. Keep your shop name inside it, then check your live shop.

Is there a free Etsy banner maker with no sign up?

Yes. This banner maker is free, has no sign up, and draws the banner in your browser. Your photo stays on your device. Pick a size, add a photo or colour, type your shop name, then download the finished PNG or JPG.

Should I use 1600 x 400 or 3360 x 840 for my Etsy banner?

Both are the same 4:1 shape, so a design made for one suits the other. Etsy Help recommends 1600 x 400, and the Seller Handbook gives 3360 x 840 for optimal performance. We default to the larger one, which stays sharper on big screens.

Can I make an Etsy banner on my phone?

Yes. The page works in your phone browser with no app. Tap the drop area to add a photo, type your text, and check the preview before you download. Your text and colour choices are remembered in that browser, so you can adjust them later.

Should I use this or a full design tool?

Use this when you want a correctly sized banner from one photo and two lines of text. It has no layers, stickers or free placement, and text stays centred. For a more detailed design, use a full design tool and export at the same pixel size.
