Folksy describes itself as the home of British craft and a place to buy handmade gifts and original artwork

All of the products on the platform are sold directly by the artists and designers who have created them, so each purchase supports a genuine craftsperson.

FOLKSY IMAGE REQUIREMENTS  

Images on Folksy’s item pages can be square, landscape or portrait. Anyone can add up to five images per listing, but Folksy Plus sellers can add as many as ten images. 

Folksy’s guidelines state that images should meet the following criteria:

  • Images should be at least 1000 pixels wide

  • File size should be between 1MB and 5MB (files larger than this may fail to upload

  • Image resolution should be between 72ppi and 300ppi (pixels per inch) and saved as a JPG

 

FOLKSY IMAGE OPTIMISATION

Image optimisation means reducing the file size of images as much as possible without sacrificing quality. It also means make sure customers can easily find your products by thinking about what words they might search to find them.

To help Folksy, Google, and other search engines direct customers to your products, you need to pay close attention to your image file name. Make sure the file name accurately describes your product.

Folksy have some of their own tips for product photography, but why not leave the worry of image optimisation to us?
