FashionPix · Last updated 4 augustus 2026
Product photos for Bol.com need to be square, on a pure white background, and meet fixed image requirements. FashionPix handles that in one click: upload your garment and get back a ready-to-use photo plus a CSV product feed — exactly what Bol.com and Google Shopping ask for, no photoshoot required.
Product photos for Bol.com and Google Shopping: how to get it right
- Bol.com and Google Shopping require a square (1:1) main image on a pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255).
- FashionPix automatically generates correct product photos for Bol.com — no background removal or cropping needed.
- The included CSV product feed contains the title, sales copy, and image links; you fill in the price and GTIN yourself.
- Sales copy is delivered in 4 languages by default, so you can also reach Belgian and international buyers.
- From upload to a ready-to-download feed takes roughly a few minutes per product.
What are the photo guidelines for Bol.com and Google Shopping?
Product photos for Bol.com need a square (1:1) ratio on a pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255), with no watermarks or text. Google Merchant Center requires a minimum resolution of 250 × 250 pixels for apparel products and recommends 800 × 800 pixels or higher for better performance.
Bol.com applies similar image requirements for the main image: white or light grey, no borders, no logos. If a photo doesn't meet these standards, your listing can be rejected or ranked lower in search results.

- Ratio: 1:1 (square)
- Background: pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255)
- No watermarks, logos, or decorative text
- Recommended resolution: at least 800 × 800 pixels
How do you create a square white product photo in one click?
FashionPix automatically places your garment on a pure white background and crops the image to a perfect 1:1 ratio. That means your product photos for Bol.com are instantly ready for upload — no image-editing software required.
The system detects the garment, removes the original background, and centres the product with the right margins. The result meets Bol.com and Google Shopping's image requirements right away.
Curious about the tech behind background removal? Our page on a square white product photo explains how the process works and which file formats you can upload.
What's included in the ready-made product feed (CSV)?
The downloadable CSV includes, per product, the product title, sales copy, the URL of the white product photo, and fields for variants. You add the price, SKU, and GTIN (barcode) yourself — that's data only you have.
The column structure matches what Google Shopping and Bol.com expect, so you can import the file without renaming anything. After importing, always double-check the required fields within the platform itself, since both platforms update their specifications from time to time.
Sales copy is delivered in Dutch, French, German, and English by default. That makes the feed immediately usable for Belgian sellers serving both Dutch- and French-speaking customers.
- Product title (optimised for search results)
- Sales copy in 4 languages (NL, FR, DE, EN)
- Image links to the white product photos
- Empty fields for price, SKU, and GTIN — for you to fill in
How quickly can your products go live correctly?
Once you've added the price and GTIN to the CSV, import the file into Bol.com's seller portal or Google Merchant Center. With an error-free feed, your product is usually visible within a few hours.
Bol.com processes new listings via a CSV import in the Seller Platform. Google Shopping syncs feeds on a schedule you set yourself — daily is common for active webshops.
Since the product photos for Bol.com and the accompanying copy already meet the platform requirements, you'll need fewer corrections after import. That saves time, especially when onboarding a larger assortment.
Why does SEO sales copy in 4 languages matter for Bol.com?
Bol.com serves both the Netherlands and Belgium. Dutch and French copy widens your reach among Belgian buyers. German and English come in handy if you also advertise beyond the Benelux via Google Shopping.
The sales copy is written with the search terms buyers use on Bol.com in mind: product name, material, fit, and colour. That improves the odds your listing gets found, without you having to do keyword research yourself.
Duplicate content — the same text across multiple pages or platforms — can hurt your visibility in Google. FashionPix generates unique copy per product, so you're not posting the same description on your webshop and on Bol.com.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to remove the background myself before uploading product photos for Bol.com?
No. FashionPix removes the background automatically and places the garment on pure white. Just upload a photo — even one with a coloured or busy background works fine.
Can I import the CSV feed directly into Bol.com without any changes?
Almost. The column structure matches Bol.com's import requirements, but you'll still need to fill in the price, SKU, and GTIN (barcode) yourself. That data is unique to your assortment and isn't included in the feed.
Do the product photos for Bol.com also work for Google Shopping?
Yes. The square white images meet Google Merchant Center's image requirements. The included CSV also contains the fields Google Shopping expects, so you can upload the file right away once you've added the price and GTIN.
Which languages is the sales copy delivered in?
Dutch, French, German, and English by default. That makes the feed immediately usable for Dutch- and French-speaking buyers on Bol.com Belgium, and for Google Shopping campaigns outside the Benelux.
