Image failed validation

Walmart could not download or validate your product image. The listing may go live without an image, but it won't appear in search and conversion will collapse.

Common causes: 404 image URL, an HTTP redirect chain longer than 3 hops, image hosted on a domain Walmart's crawler can't reach, image-format mismatch (Walmart needs JPG/PNG, no WebP/SVG), or image below the 1500-pixel longest-edge minimum.

1. Open every product image URL directly in a browser. If it 404s or redirects multiple times, fix the URL.
2. Host images on a CDN that returns plain HTTP 200 with the image bytes — no auth challenges, no robots blocks.
3. Convert WebP to JPG or PNG before submitting to Walmart's feed.
4. Verify image dimensions: longest edge must be at least 1500px.
5. Resubmit the feed and wait for the next validation pass.

• Pointing image_url at an HTML page instead of the raw image
• Hosting on a domain that requires Referer headers — Walmart's crawler doesn't send them
