If necessary, we recommend that the characters be hyphenated.\n- Do not use special characters in the image names. Follow an alphanumeric pattern.\n- The recommended file extension is .JPG (not .JPEG).\n- We recommend that your images have a white background.\n- The format of the images should preferably be square, to avoid distortions.\n- For image zooming to work correctly, we recommend that the images have a size of at least 1000 pixels. If possible, you can achieve an even better zoom result with images from 1500 to 2000 pixels.\n- We do not recommend stretching the image so it does not affect its quality.\n\n## Learn more\n\n- [Adding Products](/en/docs/tracks/adding-products)\n- [Adding SKUs](/en/docs/tracks/adding-skus)\n- [Importing images from a spreadsheet](/en/docs/tutorials/importing-images-from-a-spreadsheet)"}
