Adding images gives your customers visual references for your products. These images are displayed in the Retail POS (R) app, in eCom, and in the details of the item in Lightspeed Retail.

Preparing image files

For your images to upload properly, we recommend following these parameters.

• Image size: 650x650 pixels. Other resolutions will be scaled to fit.
• File type: .jpeg or .jpg is preferred, as these will upload and load the quickest.
• File size maximum: 8 MB. Images of a larger size will not upload.
• File name: Only use letters and numbers, no special characters.
• Browser: Use Firefox or Chrome for best results.

Image upload limit

You can upload up to 12 images per item. Across your account, you can upload a total of 25,000 images or 100 GB of image data. Once you've reached 75% of either of these two limits, you will be notified in the image upload section of your item.

You can expand the total number of images allowed on your account or the total GB of image data allowed on your account. You will still be limited to 12 images per item. To upgrade your image upload limit, contact our Support team.
