## What this rule covers
The main image is a core product-detail-page asset. It should present the actual product clearly and follow the relevant Amazon and category image requirements.
## Why sellers should care
A non-compliant main image can delay publication, reduce listing quality, or cause the product page to display incorrectly.
## Common risk patterns
- Promotional text, badges, contact details, watermarks, borders, or graphics
- Product too small, obscured, or mixed with unrelated props
- Image that does not accurately represent the item or variation
## Safer operating practice
Create a clean, product-focused main image and validate it on desktop and mobile. Keep original source files, approved exports, and category-specific requirements with the listing record.
## Important note
Some categories permit or require different image treatments. Follow current Seller Central guidance for the relevant marketplace and category.
