Poshmark Photos Cut Off
Make listing photos that fit Poshmark's frame, whichever shape it's using.
The Short Answer
Poshmark shows photos in a fixed frame and cuts off whatever doesn't fit. It has switched between a square frame and a taller 3:4 portrait frame since late 2025, so photos made for one shape lose their top and bottom, or their sides, in the other.
The fix is to fit the photo to the frame by adding background around it, so nothing of the item is cut off.
Fit a photo without cropping →What Changed
- Until 2025: listing photos were shown square, so most sellers shot or cropped square photos.
- PoshFest, September 2025: Poshmark announced a move away from square photos. A portrait crop appeared on the website that November, and was reported reverted to square soon after.
- March 2026: Poshmark's app redesign brought back larger 3:4 portrait photos, and sellers reported existing listings being cut off.
Poshmark hasn't published a photo specification, and the shape has changed more than once, so check what you see: when you add a photo to a listing, is the frame square or taller than it is wide?
Make a Photo Fit Without Cropping
- Open the Square Image Maker and select your photo.
- Choose the shape: Square 1:1 or Portrait 3:4, to match Poshmark's frame.
- Pick a background. White suits most listings, and Blurred fills the space with a soft copy of the photo, which looks natural behind clothes and shoes.
- Download the result and upload it to your listing.
The whole photo is kept and placed in the middle. Only the empty space around it is new. Photos are processed in your browser, not uploaded, so you can work through a batch quickly.
A Shape That Works Either Way
If you're not sure which frame buyers will see, or you list the same photos on other sites too, make them 3:4 with the item in the middle and some empty space above and below it:
- In a 3:4 frame, the photo fits exactly.
- In a square frame, only the space at the top and bottom is trimmed. A square photo made into 3:4 this way loses exactly the background that was added, so the item is untouched.
That works as long as Poshmark crops from the centre, which is how its square crop has worked. When you take new photos, leave a little room around the item on every side and you'll rarely need to fix anything afterwards.
Which Listings to Fix First
- Cover photos. They appear in search results and closet grids, where a cut-off item costs the most clicks.
- Photos of details buyers ask about. Labels, measurements, flaws and the full length of dresses and coats.
- The rest can wait until you next edit or relist each item.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Poshmark cut off my photos?
Poshmark shows listing photos in a fixed frame and crops anything that doesn't fit its shape. For years that frame was square. Since late 2025 Poshmark has tested and rolled out a taller 3:4 portrait frame, reversed it once, and brought it back with its 2026 app redesign, so photos taken for one shape get cut off in the other.
What size should Poshmark photos be?
Match the frame Poshmark currently shows: square (1:1, for example 1080 by 1080 pixels) or 3:4 portrait (for example 1080 by 1440 pixels). Poshmark has changed this more than once, so check the shape of the frame when you add a photo to a listing.
How do I make a photo fit Poshmark without cropping?
Add space around it instead of cutting it. Open the Fair Toolbox Square Image Maker, choose Square 1:1 or Portrait 3:4, pick a white or blurred background, and download the result. The whole item stays in the picture and only the background fills the frame.
Is there a shape that works in both square and 3:4?
A 3:4 photo with the item centred and some empty space above and below it is the safest choice. In a 3:4 frame it fits exactly. If it's shown square instead, only the space at the top and bottom is cut off, assuming Poshmark crops from the centre as it has done.
Do I have to redo all my old listings?
Only the ones where the cut-off hides something that matters, like a label, a flaw or the length of a dress. Start with your cover photos, since they show in search results and closets, and work through the rest as you edit or relist.
