- Ops/support teams aiming to reduce returns via clearer images (scale/what’s included)
Image set check: quickly see what your listing is missing
Product images are often the biggest conversion lever — and a common source of misunderstandings (and returns).
This checklist roughly audits your image set by count and five standard image types (hero on white, lifestyle, infographic/USPs, scale, packaging/what’s included). Result: score + traffic light and 3 concrete next steps.

Result
How it works
The score is a simple weighted checklist (0–100): image count up to a target (max 30 points) plus points for 5 image types (hero on white, lifestyle, infographic/USPs, scale, packaging).
Traffic light: red if the hero-on-white is missing or the score is low, yellow for a decent baseline with gaps, green for an (almost) complete set.
The “3 next steps” are prioritized from missing image types (compliance → conversion → return prevention).
Quick conclusion
- Use the score as a guardrail — not a dogma. More important: your image types should answer the most common buyer questions.
- Prioritize hero + lifestyle + infographic first, then scale and what’s included to reduce returns.
- Keep the sequence consistent (1–7) so your set is scannable and reusable.

FAQ
How many images are “good”?
Rule of thumb: as many as needed without diluting. For many marketplaces, ~7 images are a solid standard (hero + benefits/details + proof + what’s included).
Why is the hero-on-white so important?
Many platforms have strict rules for the main image (e.g. neutral background, no text badges). A clean hero shot also reduces visual noise and improves comparability in search grids.
Which images reduce returns the most?
Typically: scale/size comparisons, what’s included/packaging, and a clear infographic with dimensions/compatibility. They prevent wrong expectations before purchase.
How should I interpret the traffic light?
Red means key basics are missing (e.g. hero on white) or the score is very low. Yellow means a solid baseline with gaps. Green means the set looks largely complete. Use it as a guardrail — not as a dogma.
Do you store inputs or upload images?
No. You only enter numbers/checkboxes — everything runs locally in your browser (no storage, no uploads).
