Why Etsy turned your zoom off
为什么悬停放大不可用
If you sell on Etsy and hover zoom suddenly stopped working, you are not alone. Desktop buyers rely on magnifying texture and print detail before they add to cart. When zoom is off, the listing still loads, but the loupe cursor never appears. That is not a random glitch in most cases; it is how Etsy gates the feature.
在 Etsy 上卖货，若发现 hover-zoom 突然不可用，你并不孤单。桌面端买家下单前，常会放大查看材质与印花细节。zoom 关闭时，listing 仍能打开，但放大镜光标不会出现。多数情况下这不是随机故障，而是 Etsy 对功能的门槛控制。
Etsy recommends listing photos of at least 2000 pixels. Separately, in our tests, when the short side is under that line, hover-zoom is unavailable — not a softer zoom level. The feature simply does not appear. That is our observation, not a sentence Etsy Help prints as “we disable zoom.”
Etsy 建议 listing 照片至少 2000 像素。另据我们的测试：短边低于该线时，hover-zoom 直接不可用——不是变成更弱的放大，而是功能根本不出现。这是我们的观测结论，并非 Etsy Help 原文写着「我们会关闭 zoom」。
The confusion starts because the listing page itself rarely shows your master file. In the HTML, Etsy commonly serves CDN URLs with names like il_794xN. Those previews are convenient for fast page loads, but they are misleading when you right-click and check dimensions. A 794-pixel-wide image can look sharp on screen while your original upload was larger—or the opposite, if you upscaled a small file.
容易混淆的一点是：listing 页面很少直接展示你的原图。HTML 里，Etsy 常用形如 il_794xN 的 CDN 地址。这些预览利于快速加载，但右键另存后看尺寸很容易误判。一张宽 794 像素的图在屏幕上可能仍显清晰，而你的原上传其实更大——若你把小图强行放大，也可能出现相反情况。
TagPeek treats the 794px preview as a diagnostic trap, not the source of truth. On a live listing, the Chrome extension resolves toward full-size URLs where Etsy exposes them, then applies the same 2000px shortest-side rule we document in Rule 01. On your hard drive, the free website detector reads the file directly, so you can fix photos before upload.
TagPeek 把 794px 预览当作诊断陷阱，而不是真相来源。在 live listing 上，Chrome 扩展会尽量解析 Etsy 暴露的全尺寸 URL，再套用我们在规则 01 中记录的 2000px 最短边规则。在本地硬盘上，免费网站检测器直接读取文件，便于你在上传前修好照片。
Another reason zoom appears broken is browser zoom or mobile view. Hover-to-zoom is a desktop interaction. Testing on a phone or a narrow window will not reproduce buyer behavior on a full-width browser. Always verify on desktop when you are debugging zoom.
zoom 看起来坏了，还可能是浏览器缩放或手机视图造成的。悬停放大是桌面端交互。在手机或窄窗口里测试，无法复现买家用全宽浏览器时的行为。排查 zoom 时，请始终在桌面端验证。
Upscale workflows deserve caution. Some sellers export a 1200px design, upscale to 2000px in an editor, and expect Etsy to treat it as native resolution. The pixel count may pass the gate while blur heuristics fail human inspection. Our local detector surfaces softness separately from the zoom floor so you can see both issues.
放大（upscale）流程要谨慎。有的卖家先导出 1200px 设计，再在编辑器里拉到 2000px，指望 Etsy 当成原生分辨率。像素数可能过关，但模糊启发式仍过不了人眼。本地检测器会把「偏软」与 zoom 门槛分开呈现，方便你同时看到两类问题。
First-photo rules interact with zoom but are not the same check. Etsy also publishes a 635px floor for the first listing photo in search contexts. You can meet 635px and still fail hover-zoom if the short side stays under 2000px. Conversely, a zoom-ready file still needs a strong square crop for search grids.
首图规则与 zoom 有关，但不是同一项检查。Etsy 还公布了搜索场景下首张 listing 照片约 635px 的底线。你可以满足 635px，若短边仍低于 2000px，hover-zoom 仍会失败。反过来，已具备 zoom 条件的文件，仍需要适合搜索网格的正方形裁切。
When you re-export, prefer sRGB and avoid unnecessary transparency on product photos. Etsy converts uploads for display; exotic color profiles can shift hues after conversion. Watermarks on the hero image can also affect eligibility for certain programs, which we flag as self-checks in the detector rather than automatic pass/fail.
重新导出时，优先用 sRGB，产品照尽量避免不必要的透明通道。Etsy 会转换上传图用于展示；奇特的色彩配置文件转换后可能偏色。主图水印也可能影响某些计划的资格——检测器里我们标为自检项，而不是自动通过/失败。
If you recently replaced photos and zoom still looks off, clear cache and reopen the listing in a private window. CDN propagation can lag a few minutes, but persistent zoom-off after a large upload usually means the new file still misses the floor. Double-check the exported JPEG dimensions in your OS inspector, not the in-browser preview.
若刚换过照片而 zoom 仍不对，请清缓存并在无痕窗口重新打开 listing。CDN 同步可能滞后几分钟；但大图上传后 zoom 仍长期关闭，通常说明新文件仍未达标。请在系统文件信息里核对导出的 JPEG 尺寸，不要只看浏览器预览。
Keyword research tools will not tell you whether zoom is enabled after you publish. That is intentional: marketplace research answers different questions than compliance on your live URL. TagPeek covers both moments — before you publish (local file) and after you publish (buyer view).
关键词研究工具不会告诉你发布后 zoom 是否开启。这是刻意的：市场研究回答的问题，与 live URL 上的合规检查不同。TagPeek 覆盖两个时刻——发布前（本地文件）与发布后（买家视角）。
We do not estimate sales, rank, or revenue from fixing zoom. Passing the pixel check removes one friction point for detail-oriented shoppers. It aligns your listing with Etsy Help wording linked from our rules library.
我们不会因修好 zoom 去估算销量、排名或收入。通过像素检查，只是去掉注重细节的买家面前的一个摩擦点。它让你的 listing 与规则库所链到的 Etsy Help 表述对齐。
Start with the free image checker if you still have the master file. Paste the re-upload recipe into your export workflow, then publish. Open the listing in Chrome with TagPeek to confirm zoom-on status on the live page. If it still reads off, compare the file you uploaded with the one you tested locally—mix-ups between similar SKUs happen often in busy shops.
若仍有原图，先从免费图片检测器开始。把重新上传配方贴进导出流程，再发布。在 Chrome 中用 TagPeek 打开 listing，确认 live 页面上 zoom 已开启。若仍显示关闭，请比对实际上传文件与本地测过的那份——忙碌店铺里相似 SKU 搞混很常见。
Support forums sometimes suggest clearing cookies or switching browsers when zoom fails. Those steps rarely change Etsy’s pixel gate. Measure the upload instead. If the short side is even one pixel under the published floor, zoom stays off until you replace the asset.
论坛有时建议 zoom 失败时清 cookie 或换浏览器。这些步骤很少能动到 Etsy 的像素门槛。不如去量上传文件本身。短边哪怕比公开底线少 1 像素，zoom 也会一直关闭，直到你替换素材。
Print-on-demand shops receive files from suppliers with inconsistent export settings. Build a receiving checklist: open the supplier JPEG, run the local detector, reject sub-threshold files before they reach slot one. Prevention is cheaper than swapping photos on live listings.
按需印刷（print-on-demand）店铺常收到导出设置不一的供应商文件。建立收货清单：打开供应商 JPEG，跑本地检测，未达标的在进入第一槽位前就拒收。预防比在 live listing 上换图便宜得多。
Jewelry macro shots need zoom more than flat digital downloads. For physical goods, treat hover-zoom as part of product education, not a nice-to-have. Buyers compare clasp detail across shops; zoom-off listings look less confident even when price and reviews are strong.
珠宝微距照比平面数字下载品更需要 zoom。对实体商品，把 hover-zoom 当作产品说明的一部分，而不是可有可无的加分项。买家会跨店对比搭扣细节；zoom 关闭的 listing 即便价格与评价不错，也显得不够自信。
TagPeek records score movement when zoom flips from off to on after you re-upload. That audit trail helps teams separate CDN lag from genuine fix failures during busy launch weeks.
重新上传后，若 zoom 从关变为开，TagPeek 会记录分数变化。这条审计轨迹能在忙碌上新周里，帮团队分清是 CDN 滞后，还是修复本身失败。
If you sell patterns or PDFs alongside physical variants, remember zoom applies to the photos buyers see for the physical SKU. Digital previews follow different buyer expectations but still benefit from crisp heroes in mixed shops.
若你同时卖纸样或 PDF 与实体变体，请记住：zoom 作用于买家看到的实体 SKU 照片。数字预览的买家预期不同，但在混合店铺里，清晰的主图依然有帮助。
Document your export preset in the shop wiki: width, height, JPEG quality, sharpening, and color profile. When zoom breaks after a team change, compare the preset to the last known good recipe from the detector instead of guessing.
把导出预设写进店铺 wiki：宽、高、JPEG 质量、锐化与色彩配置。团队交接后若 zoom 坏了，请用检测器上次确认可用的配方对照预设，而不是凭感觉猜。
