PRODUCT IMAGE GUIDELINES FOR HOMEDEPOT.COM
To ensure an optimum customer experience on homedepot.com, the following product image requirements have been established.
SIZE
 All images must be at least a minimum of 1000 pixels x 1000 pixels
PHOTOGRAPHY:
 All products must be digitally photographed out of the package with the exception of products that are typically represented in the
package, such as extension cords, fasteners, etc. If an image is shot in the packaging, both the front and the back of the package
should be shot to include any marketing copy or disclaimer included on the packaging. This is to be assessed on an as need basis by
the vendor, merchant and homedepot.com.
 Main product images should only feature the product. No props or additional products (assortment groupings) are allowed within
the primary image area. Alternate images of the product are encouraged to convey “lifestyle” images, and alternate views of
important product features. The exception to this requirement is Patio Furniture Sets, which should feature a lifestyle/scene image
as the primary image.
 People and pets must not appear in any product image.
 Images must represent the correct color of the product.
BACKGROUND/BORDERS:
 The product should be professionally presented on a white background. This can be accomplished by photographing the product on
a white background or outlining the product image live area and placing it on a white background.
 The background color for product images should be #FFFFFF [Hex], 255, 255, 255 [RGB] or 0 [CMYK]. Acceptable alternatives for
white products are #F5F5DC R 245, G 245, B 220 (see HTML color table below).
 The product contrast should be adjusted to ensure that the image has clarity and sharpness and is not washed out.
 The product should be centered inside the designated image area, with a buffer of comfortable white space around the product. A
product that is taller than it is wide will have less white space at the top and bottom than it does on the right or left. A product that
is wider than it is tall will have less white space on the right and left than it does on the top and bottom.
 Do not put a stroke (outline) or shadow around the image.
 All image canvas corners must be squared at a 90 degree angle.
