White Background Checker

Amazon requires main product images to have a pure-white (RGB 255,255,255) background. The White Background Checker samples the edges of your photo and tells you instantly whether you'll pass — before you upload and risk suppression.

We'll sample the edges to verify a pure-white background.

What is the White Background Checker?

A white background checker verifies that the edge pixels of a product image are pure white. Amazon's automated image-quality system suppresses listings where the main image background isn't #FFFFFF.

How to use the White Background Checker

  1. 1 Drop your product image into the upload zone.
  2. 2 The tool automatically samples the outer 5% of the image edges.
  3. 3 Read the verdict — Pass (≥99% white), Close (92–99%), or Fail (under 92%).
  4. 4 If it fails, use our Product Background Remover to clean it up.
  5. 5 Re-check the cleaned image to confirm.

Frequently asked questions

White Background Checker — FAQ

Quick answers to the questions sellers ask most.

What background color does Amazon require?

Amazon requires the main product image to have a pure-white (RGB 255,255,255 / #FFFFFF) background so the product blends into the search results page.

What happens if my background isn't pure white?

Amazon's image-quality system can suppress the listing or replace your main image with a "no image available" placeholder until you fix it.

How close to white is "close enough"?

In practice Amazon accepts very-close-to-white (above ~99% pure white edges). Below that you're gambling — and SnapFBA's tool flags this as "Close" rather than "Pass".

Does the requirement apply to secondary images?

No. The pure-white rule applies only to the MAIN product image. Secondary images can include lifestyle backgrounds, infographics, or props.

Can I just use Photoshop's "white" fill?

Photoshop's default "white" is usually #FFFFFF, but exported JPGs sometimes compress edge pixels to slightly off-white. Always re-check after export.

What's the easiest way to get a pure white background?

Use our AI Product Background Remover — it isolates the product and pastes it onto a true #FFFFFF background in one click.
