Cdiscount image size guide 2026
Quick answer
We could not read Cdiscount's own image article, so no figure here is confirmed. Sources give 500 to 3000 px or a 1000 px minimum, a 5 MB limit and a white background. A square JPEG between 1000 and 3000 px, under 5 MB, on pure white fits every version we found.
This is a guide with a health warning. We could not read Cdiscount's own help article on images, so all figures come from a third party summary and seller forum posts, and those do not fully agree.
The table shows the values our checker uses: 500 px as the failing point and 1000 px as the target, with 5 MB as the file limit from the forum posts. Check them against your seller account.

Comparing the sources
A summary on a photo editing vendor's site gives 500 x 500 to 3000 x 3000 px, in JPG, JPEG, PNG or GIF, with a mandatory white background and no watermarks, logos, text or promotional overlays. Seller forum posts give 1000 x 1000 px as the minimum or recommended size, a 5 MB limit and pure white, RGB 255, 255, 255, and one adds that the product should fill over 70% of the frame.
An export that fits all of them is simple: a square between 1000 and 3000 px, JPEG, under 5 MB, on pure white, with the product filling most of the frame.
Secondary images
The forum guidance says later images can show details, use cases or packaging, as long as they stay clear and professional. Use those slots for what the main image cannot do, such as scale, connectors or what comes in the box. We could not confirm a maximum image count.
Questions
Is the Cdiscount minimum 500 or 1000 pixels?
Sources differ and we could not settle it from a Cdiscount page. Building to 1000 px avoids the question entirely, because a 1000 px image also satisfies a 500 px rule. Phone cameras and most supplier images already exceed that size.
Should I export GIF for Cdiscount?
No need, even though one summary lists it. GIF supports only 256 colours per frame, which bands badly on product photographs. Use JPEG for photos, and keep PNG for images where crisp edges matter, flattened on a white background.
Do Cdiscount images need to be square?
We found no source stating a required shape, so the checker does not test for it. The size figures are all quoted as squares, though, and a square suits product grids well, which makes it the sensible default.
Can I add a logo or watermark to Cdiscount photos?
Not according to the sources we found. A photo editing vendor's summary rules out watermarks, logos, text and promotional overlays alongside its mandatory white background. We could not check this on Cdiscount's own help article, so confirm any special case in your seller account.
What can Cdiscount secondary images show?
Forum guidance says later images can show details, use cases or packaging, as long as they stay clear and professional. Use them for what the main image cannot do, such as scale, connectors or what comes in the box. This is seller guidance and not a confirmed rule.
How many images can I add on Cdiscount?
We could not confirm a maximum image count from any source we read. Your seller account is the place to find it. Until then, use your extra slots for details the main image cannot show, and make sure each one adds something new.
