Amazon Now Lets Brand Owners Upload Country-Specific Product Images Across All Stores
Amazon now allows brand-registered sellers to upload country-specific product images across all international marketplaces via a new Seller Central tool, enabling localized visual content to improve conversion rates abroad.
Overview
Amazon now lets brand-registered sellers upload country-specific product images tailored to individual international marketplaces. Sellers can create images with local language text and region-appropriate visuals through Seller Central's image upload tool. The feature works across all Amazon stores but doesn't guarantee localized images will display instead of global images.
Key Points
- Country-specific images — Upload unique product images targeted to specific Amazon marketplaces (e.g., German text for Amazon.de)
- Integrated into Seller Central — Access through standard image upload workflow; drag-drop image and select target country from dropdown
- Brand Registry required — Only available to sellers enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry
- Active listing required — Must have existing listing on target marketplace; cannot pre-upload for unlisted stores
- Not guaranteed to display — Amazon's algorithm may still show global images in some cases even after uploading localized versions
Seller Impact
- Localize for top international stores — Create localized images with translated text for your top 3 international marketplaces by revenue (e.g., .de, .fr, .co.uk)
- Translate infographics professionally — Use native speakers or pro translators for image text, not Google Translate; poor translation hurts more than generic images
- Start with low-converting international stores — Prioritize markets where you have traffic but below-average conversion rates (check Business Reports by marketplace)
- Monitor if localized images appear — Check listings 48 hours after upload from local IP or VPN to verify localized images display; contact Seller Support if global images persist
