Myntra Product Photo Guidelines: Complete Seller Guide 2026

Getting your product listing rejected by Myntra is costly. Each rejection delays your go-live date, wastes photographer fees, and requires a round-trip reshoot. This guide covers every image specification Myntra enforces in 2026 so you get approved on the first submission.

Myntra Image Specifications

Myntra's image requirements are stricter than most Indian marketplaces. Here's what you need:

Dimensions

• Minimum: 1000 x 1200 pixels
• Recommended: 1500 x 2000 pixels or higher
• Aspect ratio: Portrait (4:5 or 3:4) — landscape images are rejected
• Resolution: 72 DPI minimum for web display

Background

• Default: Pure white (#FFFFFF) or very light grey
• Lifestyle images: Approved for secondary slots — neutral or brand-consistent setting
• No patterned, textured, or dark backgrounds on the primary listing image

File Format and Size

• Format: JPEG (JPG) or PNG
• Maximum file size: 5 MB per image
• Colour mode: RGB — CMYK files are automatically rejected

Required Angles

Myntra expects a minimum of 4 images per listing:

1. Front view — model or mannequin, full garment visible
2. Back view — same model/mannequin position
3. Detail shot — fabric texture, print, embroidery, or key feature
4. Model posed shot — lifestyle or styled pose (secondary slot)

For certain categories like kurtas and sarees, Myntra strongly prefers model shots over flat-lay.

Common Rejection Reasons

Understanding why listings fail saves you reshoots. These are the most common rejection triggers:

Image Quality Rejections

• Blurry or pixelated images — often from smartphone zoom or insufficient resolution
• Poor lighting — shadows on the garment, uneven exposure
• Incorrect colour — the garment colour in the photo doesn't match the product title
• Wrinkled garment — Myntra reviewers will reject listings where the product looks unstepped

Technical Rejections

• Wrong dimensions — images smaller than 1000 x 1200 px are auto-rejected
• File too large — images above 5 MB fail upload
• Watermarks — any visible brand watermark on the primary image
• Borders or padding — white or coloured borders around the product

Content Rejections

• Text overlay on primary image — no price tags, size labels, or promotional text
• Multiple products — primary image must show a single product
• Model face cropped — if using a model, full head and torso should be visible
• Non-white primary background — any coloured background on the main slot

How to Get Approved First Time

Step 1: Shoot on white

Your primary slot image must have a pure white background. If you're shooting on coloured walls or fabric, you'll need to clip out the garment and replace the background in post.

Step 2: Use model photography

For apparel on Myntra, model shots consistently outperform flat-lay on both approval rates and click-through rates. The platform's recommendation is clear: show the garment being worn.

Step 3: Check your dimensions before uploading

Use an image editor or free tool like Squoosh to verify resolution. Don't rely on phone camera EXIF data — check the actual pixel dimensions of the exported file.

Step 4: Eliminate wrinkles

Steam or iron every garment before shooting. A wrinkled kurta will fail the Myntra quality review regardless of how good your photography is.

Step 5: Match file format to requirements

Export as JPEG with quality setting 85–95. PNG works but produces larger files — JPEG is recommended unless transparency is required.

Using AI to Meet Myntra Standards

AI photography platforms like ShotRoom generate Myntra-compliant images automatically. Every image produced by ShotRoom:

• Meets the 1000 x 1200 px minimum (outputs at 1500 x 2000 px)
• Uses pure white or Myntra-approved neutral backgrounds
• Includes model shots across all required angles
• Outputs as JPEG under 5 MB

For sellers managing 50+ active SKUs, AI-generated photography eliminates the manual QA step of checking each image against Myntra's spec sheet.

Category-Specific Notes

Different Myntra categories have additional requirements:

Kurtas and Kurtis: Front + back model shots mandatory. Dupatta (if included) must be shown in at least one image.

Sarees: Six-yard drape must be fully visible in at least one image. Blouse must be shown if included.

Lehengas: All three pieces (skirt, blouse, dupatta) must appear in at least one image.

Jeans and trousers: Belt loops must be visible; waistband styling matters for the primary shot.
