The latest 2026 version of the GS1 Product Image Standard is out.

This GS1 Standard sets rules for storing digital images associated with products and covers all aspects of digital image storage.

Page 34 covers Mobile Ready Hero images and reminds people that

"Background should be removed to white (RGB 255/255/255)"

and having "flowers exploding from behind the pack" (see my previous post)

is not an accepted GS1 standard. https://lnkd.in/e8ppTZAj
