Error 8014 — Image fails policy

What this means

Amazon's image classifier flagged your main image as policy-violating — usually missing pure white background, contains text/watermarks, or doesn't show the product clearly.

Why this happens

Amazon's main image policy: pure white background (RGB 255/255/255), product fills 85%+ of frame, no text/watermarks/logos, no models for non-apparel.

How to fix it

  1. Re-edit images on a pure white background using background-removal services.
  2. Remove all text, watermarks, and price callouts.
  3. Crop so product fills 85%+ of frame.
  4. Use 1000×1000+ pixels for zoom function.
