Etsy Lehenga Image Requirements
Selling lehengas and bridal lehengas to handmade, vintage and small-batch fashion buyers? Here is what Etsy expects from your lehenga images in 2026:
| Requirement | Etsy specification |
|---|
| Resolution | 2000px minimum on the shortest side — Etsy zoom stays sharp |
| Photos per listing | Up to 20 photos plus 1 video |
| First photo | Becomes the search thumbnail and gets cropped — keep the garment centred so it survives a square crop |
| Background | No white-background rule — lifestyle scenes are welcome |
| Format | JPG or PNG, high quality |
How to Shoot Lehengas for Etsy
Lehengas are among the highest-ticket items in Etsy's ethnic wear category, and buyers deliberating a wedding-budget purchase study every photo. The flare is the product: a lehenga flat on the floor and a lehenga on a body are two different garments. Lead with a full-length on-model shot showing the skirt's volume, the blouse, and the dupatta styled.
Then use the gallery depth: an embroidery close-up (buyers zoom), the dupatta detail, and the flat reference shot. CatalogX assembles the three-piece look with correct flare volume and keeps heavy embroidery sharp — it reproduces your photo rather than redrawing it, so zardozi work doesn't smear into texture mush the way generic AI tools render it.
One Flat Photo In, One Listing Shot Out
Before — flat photo
After — CatalogX
The same lehenga, flat photo to on-model — flare volume, embroidery and dupatta styling rendered without inventing detail.
From Photo to Live Listing
1. Upload your lehenga — a flat-lay, hanger shot or supplier photo works. Tags and pins are removed automatically.
2. Pick a model — 40+ models across skin tones and body types. The AI respects your garment's construction; it doesn't guess.
3. Set the scene — 50+ backgrounds — Etsy has no white-background rule, so lifestyle scenes are fair game.
4. Generate and export — about 30 seconds per image, sized for Etsy's specs. You own every output; commercial use is included on all plans, no watermarks.
On cost: a US studio photoshoot runs $300+ per session, or $50–150 per finished image. CatalogX starts free (5 credits, no card) and paid plans start at $9.99/month — see USD pricing or the full AI vs studio cost breakdown.
