Product Images: Optimize all of your websites images. Name all of your images to maximize your ratings in the search engines. The recommended image size are suggestions, please use the size suggestions to maximize your page uploads.
  

Full Size Image
- This is the view that customers will see when they click on the thumbnail image or the Purchase link of the product. You want your pages to load fast... a full sized photo image should be optimized and no larger then 350 pixels in either direction.
 

Thumbnail Image - This feature enables you to upload a miniature version of the image. You must size the thumbnail on your own (via a graphics software i.e. Photoshop) before uploading it into the system. The system will not auto-size the thumbnails for you. Optimize your thumbnail image and resize to no larger then 150 by 150  pixels in either direction. Keep all thumbnails the same width for visual strength and continuity.

IMAGE TIPS: 
Create your large image first, then resize for your thumbnail image. Use unique name for all images and use the underscore between words.

ALL Image names MUST be unique.
Recommended Examples Using search engine friendly description wording.
