No text, logos, or watermarks
Amazon doesn't allow text, logos or watermarks added to the main image — text printed on the product or its packaging is fine. We found added text region(s) on the background: . Badges drawn on coloured shapes and faint watermarks aren't reliably detected yet, so check for those yourself.

Severity: hard fail — the image is rejected
How we measure it
We run optical character recognition over the image, then check what surrounds each word. Words sitting on the plain background connected to the image edges count as added text; words printed on the product or its packaging don't. Badges drawn on coloured shapes and faint watermarks aren't reliably detected yet.
