Can you download images from Etsy?

You right-click a beautiful Etsy listing photo and save a copy that's fine on screen and useless for a mockup. The full-size file is one word away in the URL. Etsy just doesn't label it.

The short version

Yes. Etsy listing photos save as normal image files, and the full-size version is the one with il_fullxfull in its URL instead of the il_794xN display size. One honest caveat: the page doesn't always say which photo belongs to which variation, so check the option photos yourself before you rely on the pairing.

Yes, you can download images from Etsy. Right-clicking a listing photo saves the display copy, and swapping the size code in the image URL to il_fullxfull gets you the biggest version the seller uploaded.

The size code in every Etsy image URL

Etsy serves each listing photo in several sizes and puts the size right in the file name. You'll see codes like il_75x75 for thumbnails, il_340x270 and il_570xN for mid sizes, and il_794xN for the copy the listing page usually displays. The full-size version uses il_fullxfull instead.

Getting it by hand takes three steps:

  1. Right-click the listing photo and open the image in a new tab.
  2. Find the size code in the URL, the part that reads something like il_794xN.
  3. Replace that code with il_fullxfull and reload. Save the image that comes back.

Repeat for each of the listing's photo slots, up to 10 on most listings. Slow, but it works, and the file you get is the seller's original at whatever resolution they uploaded.

Variation photos: the part Etsy leaves fuzzy

Etsy lets sellers link photos to variations, so picking a color or a size can swap the gallery to that option's shots. On screen, you can usually work out the pairing by clicking through the options and watching which photos change.

Underneath, though, the page doesn't always expose that link. A tool reading the page may see ten good photos and no reliable record of which two belong to the walnut finish. This is one place where we'd rather be straight with you: HiRes shows the photos it can identify, and where Etsy doesn't expose the option mapping, it leaves those photos unlabeled instead of guessing. A wrong label is worse than none when you're writing to a customer about a specific variation.

Whose photos these are

Worth pausing on, because Etsy is not Amazon. Most Etsy photos are a maker's own shots of their own work, taken at a kitchen table or in a small studio. Downloading them for reference, a mockup, or a custom-order conversation is everyday Etsy behavior, and sellers expect it. Lifting them to sell a copy of the same product is the kind of thing Etsy shops watch for and report. Treat these files like someone's work, because they are. The broader rules are in our guide to whether downloading product images is legal.

Doing it with HiRes

HiRes is a Chrome extension. On an Etsy listing, click the floating HiRes button and the panel lists the photos the page exposes at their best available size, so you skip the URL editing for every slot. Save files one by one for free, or package a selection as a ZIP with Pro ($19 once, no subscription). It runs locally in your browser; your downloads never pass through our servers.

Questions people ask

What is the full size of an Etsy listing photo?

Whatever the seller uploaded. Etsy serves that original through the il_fullxfull URL, while pages display smaller copies with codes like il_794xN. If the seller uploaded a 2700px photo, il_fullxfull returns 2700px. If they uploaded 1000px, that is the ceiling.

Can I tell which Etsy photo belongs to which variation?

Sometimes. Selecting an option on the listing may swap the gallery to that variation's photos, which shows you the pairing on screen. The page does not always expose that link in a way tools can read, so if the pairing matters, note it while you click through instead of trying to reconstruct it later.

Is it OK to download Etsy photos for reference or a mockup?

Reference is the normal use: mood boards, mockups, custom-order conversations between buyer and seller. Trouble starts when someone republishes a maker's photos as their own product shots, or uses them to sell a copy of the maker's work. That is a rights problem and a fast way to get reported by the original shop.
