A new, prominently placed notice on the Merchant Center “image_link” help page advises advertisers to use images near or above 1500 × 1500 pixels to ensure best performance across all listing formats including ads and free listings.
The recommendation appears at the very top of the page, highlighted to draw attention.
Why it matters: Higher-resolution images can improve visibility, eligibility across placements, and overall engagement. Smaller creatives may limit performance as formats continue to evolve.
If you’re running Shopping ads or free listings, it may be time to audit your product feed and upgrade lower-resolution images.
