Low shipping images
What “Low Shipping” Images Mean for Meesho Sellers
“Low shipping image” is a phrase you will hear in Meesho seller groups. It refers to a particular way of preparing catalog images that some sellers believe helps with shipping charges.
It is important to separate image style from how shipping is actually calculated.
What sellers mean
Typically, the product photo is placed smaller on a square white canvas – for example the product filling about half of the frame – instead of filling the whole image.
What really decides shipping
- Meesho’s own shipping-charge rules.
- Package weight and dimensions recorded for the product.
- Category-specific policies, which can change.
How the image maker works
The low shipping image maker places your product on a square canvas at the size you choose (for example 55%), with a background colour and position you set. It processes many photos at once with the same settings.
Good practice
- Use sharp, well-lit product photos.
- Keep the product fully visible and recognisable.
- Do not hide defects or change colours.
- Check how the image looks in the Supplier Panel preview before publishing.
Track results honestly
If you test this layout, compare shipping charges and conversion on similar products over a few weeks rather than relying on rumours in seller groups.
Safe practice
Images must represent the product accurately. If you use the low shipping image maker, keep the product clear and true to life, and follow the current Supplier Panel rules.
