Listing Visuals & Design
Graphics, brand assets and image editing that go on the listing itself.
This is the layer above product photography: the infographic that explains the size difference, the badge that says two-pack, the banner on the storefront. Almost every seller starts in Canva and outgrows it at the point where one design has to be re-issued in six aspect ratios across two marketplaces. The tools here are judged on two things — whether the export keeps text sharp at the size the marketplace actually renders, and whether the licence lets you use the fonts and stock assets commercially. A design that looks right in the editor and is unreadable at 200px on mobile has cost you the click, not saved you the designer.

All guides →Using AI Images Commercially Without a Legal Review
Indemnification, attribution, and vector output are the three clauses that decide whether a cheap image stays cheap. Here is what to check before the image goes in front of a customer.
