So while there is truth to this once they click into the listing on the app... we have to get them into that listing first, meaning we have to account for the crops etsy will do in search and on the shop home. So you could just focus on the thumbnail so that the additional videos take up more space on the mobile view, but also consider people can scroll all photos in search without clicking into the listing. Find the balance that works for you!

You are very very welcome!

Thanks, love!

Yes, this is a pro software and works in layers. However, a platform like canva is more convenient and easier to use for this concept.

You are welcome, thank you for taking the time to share that with me.

When you think about Etsy as a place to market or a traffic source and less as a home, the mindset shifts! You should have your own website and a funnel set up to send returning customers to your website from Etsy with an email list! This way Etsy markets for you and it is just another marketing option to generate leads!

Natural light is not always better. Better is subjective. I use both natural and artificial light. This video was created specifically for makers who are on a budget and cannot afford artificial light or expensive setups. I am happy you found a setup that works for you! That is great!

Oh goodie! I am glad you found it useful and helpful for beginners! It is a lost skill for sure!

I am sorry to hear you had such trouble finding the help you needed! If you have any additional questions please let me know! I am happy to help!

Oh perfect! I am so happy to hear you are finding my content useful! Thanks you for taking the time to share that!

So you didn't start with enough pixels and sounds like you didn't frame the photo well enough to maximize the pixels you camera provides Assuming you had to cut too much of the image out. Really the only option is to retake the photo with max pixels and proper framing so you don't have to cut too many out.

I think I just emailed you back but here is the response here as well! This applies to the first image you upload and can extend into all. 1. So this one is a little confusing as well. In search on mobile you can swipe through all the photos. So in that case if a shower were to look at all the photos by swiping in search the crop would matter. How often are people doing this? I don’t think often. Outside of search on mobile cropping only applies to the first thumbnail image. Actually all 10 images will display in the aspect ratios you choose to upload them within the actually listing. 2. Thumbnails are the listing photo “display” so this will be in search and on your shop homepage (also on Etsys main homepage if you are featured) I 100% recommend photo #1 in all of your listings being 4:3 2667x200px while keeping the product in square crop. This is the easy fool proof method. However, if you understand how Etsy will crop based on the aspect ratio you choose for that first photo, then you can also use square. Just know the top and bottom will get cut off in search on mobile! 3. Blurry can mean a lot of things. Are they sharp and clear but get blurry when you upload. This happens sometimes and is a glitch. If you photos aren’t super sharp to begin with this can be other things like setting focus, image stabilization, low light, not enough pixels.

That is my recommendations for beginners who may not understand why their product is getting cropped out. This is basically a fool proof options. You can use other aspect ratios, you just need to understand how Etsy will crop. For example... Etsy will chop the top and bottom on a square!

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing this. This is a glitch we have been watching. How are you uploading them? Browser or app? If you upload via the app you shouldn't have an issue. Let me know if that doesn't work though and I will look back at my threads on this topic.

@@ByKristinaNicole interesting! It was via my laptop, safari, the website. I’m working on revising those square ones back to 4:3 but I’ll be annoyed if they go fully square later on… but I guess can just crop them if they change it in future.

@@patternandcraftok try uploading via mobile app and see if that resolves it. If your product aren’t getting cut out of the square in search on mobile don’t switch them. Square is fine too you just have to know how Etsy will crop! Up to you!

I am glad you found it useful. Thank you for letting me know!

Thank you for taking the time to share that!

@@ByKristinaNicole thank you too, you deserve this praise

Yes! You are 100% correct! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I will make sure to update that in the guide! Thanks for pointing it out!

@@ByKristinaNicole I am considering using the square format. It seems like the best option for me, but in Etsy's suggestions, there's "avoid this," which leaves me with question marks. Do you think Etsy pushes back the listings of those who use this format?

@@burakzdmr Etsy contradicts itself in the handbook often. 4:3 or square is fine! Really any aspect ratio is fine as long as you know how etsy will crop. This video is a fool proof method. Etsy will not suppress listings based on aspect ratio.

@@ByKristinaNicole Thank you. Do you think 2000x2000 pixels is sufficient?

@@burakzdmr that is the minimum I would do.

Hey! I don’t recommend overhead lighting, especially if you are just using household lighting. If that is absolutely all you have then yes, a diffuser above your setup!

Interesting. Myself and other coaches I have talked to assumed this was a "suggestion" but since your sales have decreased I would like to look into it can you email me you shop at support@bykristinanicole.com THANKS!

A ton! Styled with relevant props, On a person. Sizing graphic, color variation graphic, Design variations. front, back if there are two designs. Packaging, shipping graphics, etc...

To get to this component in Canva you have to go to apps and then AI-Powered. I noticed as well that once you select an image to use the rest just disappears. I personally miss the way Canva functioned prior to the glow up interface. I think things will still need tweaked. The flow just isn't fully there!

Thank you for taking the time to let me know you found it useful! I not exactly sure what you are asking. If you are referencing the last photo in the video. By adding the web under the cup it separated the cup from the backdrop that was almost the same color. This made the product pop more verses blending into the background.

@@ByKristinaNicole thanks for explaining that! The rest of the photo styling is so good on both it is a subtle difference in my view.

Thank you for letting me know you found it useful!

Hey! Thank you for taking the time to say HI! When using softboxes you still want them left and right of the setup, you may do some front angled reflection with a white board if your product needs more light on the front. But one softbox replaces natural light and the other replaces reflection!

I cover both of these in the video. 2:25 and about 3:25.

THANK YOU so much for taking the time to let me know that you found it useful! You are very welcome!

Hello! I would say no because this is specific to a listings visibility. Not the shop. Does that make sense!?
