Members-Only Tool
Check every product image in your Merchant Center catalog against Google’s size requirements, before Google flags them for you. Built exclusively for MerchantCodex members.
From Google’s Merchant Center notice
Product images now must be at least 500 x 500 pixels
Starting January 31, 2027, the minimum size for product images will be 500 x 500 pixels. Products with images under this size in the
[image_link]attribute will no longer be approved and will not show on Google.
If you currently have images under 500 x 500 pixels, you’ll see an “Image too small” or “Image too small for upcoming enforcement” warning in Merchant Center. Update these images to meet the new requirements before January 31, 2027 to minimize any disruption to your products.

Why I built this tool
Google is rolling out a hard minimum image size requirement, 500x500px for your main product image, effective January 31, 2027. If your catalog has thousands of products, there’s no way to check all of them by hand, and Merchant Center itself doesn’t give you a bulk way to audit this before it becomes a problem.
On top of the hard minimum, Google also rewards larger images, 1500px or above, as part of what it takes to earn an “Excellent” quality rating on your Store badge. So this isn’t just about avoiding disapprovals, it’s about actually improving how your listings perform.
I built this tool so you can paste in your product export, run a scan, and immediately see exactly which images fail the new minimum, which ones are compliant but under-sized for the Excellent badge, and which ones are already in great shape. No API setup, no developer required.EF Emmanuel Flossie

The problem
Why this matters more than it looks like
Google’s new minimum image size requirement is going to catch a lot of merchants off guard, especially larger catalogs where nobody has time to check every product by hand.
📏 A hard deadline is coming From January 31, 2027, Google will enforce a 500x500px minimum on your main product image. Anything smaller risks disapproval.
🖼️ Additional images matter too, differently There’s no hard minimum on additional images, but small ones can quietly hold back your Store quality rating. This tool checks both, and tells you which is which.
🔍 No bulk-check option in Merchant Center There’s no built-in way to audit thousands of images at once inside Merchant Center itself, you’re left checking products one at a time.
⏳ Manually checking a large catalog isn’t realistic For catalogs in the thousands, eyeballing every image isn’t a real option. This tool is built to handle large exports without you lifting a finger once it’s running.
