Vinted image size guide 2026
Quick answer
Vinted publishes no pixel, shape or file size rules for photos. Its help pages ask for the entire item in the first picture, no collage, natural daylight, no flash or filters, and allow up to 20 photos per listing. Any size figure you see, including the targets in our table, is practical advice only.
Most Vinted size guides quote figures that Vinted itself does not publish. Its help pages cover content and the 20 photo limit, and they say nothing about pixels, shape or file size. Some blogs recommend 4:5 portrait, but we could not trace that to Vinted.
All the numbers in the table are our own practical targets. Treat them as a sharpness check, because Vinted has not stated any of them.

What Vinted actually asks for
Show the entire item in the first picture, with no collage. Prefer natural daylight to lamplight, and skip flash and filters. Use several angles, keep any text readable, and show defects. For well-known brands, add close-ups of labels and logos, and proof of purchase if you have it.
Those points come from the Vinted help page on photos, which is worth rereading if a listing gets questioned.
A shot list that fits the limit
For clothing: whole item front, whole item back, brand label, size label, fabric or care label, then one close-up per flaw. If you have the same item in several sizes, Vinted asks for one listing with a photo of each size label. That is six or seven pictures for most garments, comfortably inside 20.
Questions
How many photos can I add on Vinted?
Up to 20 per listing, according to Vinted's help pages. They say many informative photos of good quality help attract buyers. You do not need all 20, but use enough to answer the questions a buyer would otherwise have to ask you.
Does Vinted compress my photos?
Vinted does not document how it processes uploads, so we cannot give you numbers. Sharp, well lit originals give you the best starting point regardless. Check a posted listing on your phone and zoom in on a label to see how it holds up.
Can I wear the item in my Vinted photos?
Yes, though Vinted suggests avoiding showing your face for privacy, and blurring or cropping identifying features if you like. It also mentions hangers, mannequins and flat lays as alternatives, which can show the shape of an item well without you in frame.
What image size do you suggest for Vinted?
We suggest at least 500 px and ideally 1080 px on the shorter side, under 20 MB. Those are our own practical targets for a sharp photo, and Vinted has stated none of them. Treat a miss as a prompt to check sharpness and nothing more.
Do Vinted photos have to be 4:5 portrait?
No rule we could find says so. Some blogs recommend 4:5, but we could not trace that to Vinted, and its help pages say nothing about shape. Choose the framing that shows the entire item clearly in your first picture.
How do I list the same item in several sizes on Vinted?
Vinted asks for one listing with a photo of each size label. Show the whole item first, then the back, the labels and any flaws. That usually fits comfortably inside the limit of 20 photos, even with a label shot for every size.
