Image Quality Policy Violation

What this means

Your product image violates Microsoft's image quality requirements. Images must be clear, professional, on a clean background where required, and free of promotional overlays or watermarks.

Why this happens

Low resolution (under 220x220 minimum), heavy watermarks, pricing or promotional text overlaid on the image, multiple products in one image when not bundled, generic placeholder images, or images that don't accurately represent the product.

How to fix it

  1. Use minimum 800x800 high-res images, 100x100 absolute minimum
  2. Remove promotional text, watermarks, and price overlays
  3. Use white or neutral background for primary image
  4. Ensure image actually shows the product being sold
