Category: Image errors
Errors about the product image: size, quality, overlays, and other requirements the main image has to meet.
Generic image
Your image is a placeholder or generic graphic rather than a real photo of the product, so the item is disapproved.
Image too large or unsupported format
Your image exceeds Google's size limits or is in a format Google does not accept, so the product cannot show.
Image too small
The product image has too few pixels to meet Google's minimum size requirement.
Missing value [image link]
Your feed does not contain an image URL for these products, and Google will not show a product without a main image.
Promotional overlay on image
The product image contains text, a logo, a watermark, or promotional elements that Google does not allow.
Uncrawlable image [image link]
Google could not fetch the image at your image_link URL. Affected products may keep showing for a while, but can become disapproved until Google can crawl the image.
