How-to Guide
Merge Product Photos into a Grid for Your Etsy Shop
Etsy's 10-photo limit per listing feels generous — until you have 15 angles of a handcrafted item. A grid image packs more visual information into fewer slots, so buyers see everything without endless scrolling.
Try MergeFrame — FreeEtsy sellers face a unique challenge: your product images must convey craftsmanship, scale, texture, and lifestyle context — all within a fixed gallery limit. MergeFrame solves this by letting you combine 2–4 photos into a single grid image that does the work of multiple listing slots.
The most effective Etsy grid format is a 2×2 showing: (1) full product on white background, (2) detail close-up of the most impressive element, (3) lifestyle shot showing the item in use, (4) size reference with a coin or ruler.
All processing happens locally in your browser — your unreleased product photos never touch a server.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many product photos should I combine for an Etsy grid?
2–4 photos per grid gives the best balance. More than 4 makes each image too small at Etsy's thumbnail size.
Can I use a grid as my main Etsy listing image?
Etsy recommends a clean single-product shot as the main image. Use your grid as image 2 or 3.
Does MergeFrame work with Etsy's image requirements?
Yes. Export at 2000px PNG and the grid meets Etsy's requirements for all gallery slots.
