Commerce Guardian

image too small

Replace the source image—do not stretch a thumbnail.

Google announced a 500 × 500 pixel minimum across categories from 31 January 2027, with warnings beginning in 2026. Earlier minimums may still apply before enforcement.

Safe resolution

  1. Find the original high-resolution product image.
  2. Use at least 500 × 500 pixels and keep the full product visible.
  3. Keep the file below Google’s maximum dimensions and size.
  4. Update image_link, confirm it is crawlable, then refresh the feed.

Scanner boundary

Commerce Guardian does not resize, generate or substitute product images; image truth requires visual review.
