How to save AliExpress product photos in full size

To save an AliExpress photo in full size, open it in a new tab and delete the size suffix from the URL, such as _640x640.jpg or _220x220q75.jpg_.avif. What remains is a link to the original file the seller uploaded. If you need more than a few photos, it is faster to download them all as one ZIP with an extension. Both methods are below, including the Russian site aliexpress.ru (AER).

Why “Save image as” gives you a small photo

AliExpress does not show originals on the product page. Every gallery and description image is a downscaled copy cut to fit the screen, and the size is written into the URL:

• ...S1a2b3c.jpg_640x640.jpg - a 640 by 640 preview;
• ...S1a2b3c.jpg_220x220q75.jpg_.avif - a thumbnail in AVIF format;
• ...S1a2b3c.jpg_.webp - a compressed WebP copy.

Right-click and save gives you that preview, and sometimes an .avif or .webp file that older editors cannot open. For your own marketplace listing, these images are too small.

Method 1. Remove the suffix by hand

Works on aliexpress.com, aliexpress.us and aliexpress.ru.

1. Open the product page.
2. Click the main photo to open the large gallery.
3. Right-click the photo -> Open image in new tab.
4. In the address bar find the first .jpg (or .png) and delete everything after it.
5. Press Enter. The original opens, usually 800-1500 pixels on the long side, sometimes more.
6. Save it with Ctrl + S.

Example: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/S1a2b3c.jpg_640x640.jpg becomes https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/S1a2b3c.jpg.

aliexpress.ru specifics

On AER the gallery and description are built differently from .com. Images may sit on other alicdn.com subdomains, and the description often loads separately as you scroll. The rule is the same: find .jpg in the URL and cut everything after it. If an image is rendered as part of the page rather than as a separate file, find it in DevTools (F12 -> Network tab -> Img filter).

Where the manual method hurts

• A listing can have 6-8 gallery photos, 5-10 variant photos and up to 30 description images. Each one needs opening, editing and saving.
• Description images appear only after scrolling, so it is easy to miss some.
• Files are saved with long random names, and later you cannot tell which one is the main photo.
• Video cannot be saved this way at all, you need DevTools.

Method 2. All photos and the video in one click

AliExpress & 1688 Helper does the same thing automatically.

1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. It works in Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave and Yandex Browser.
2. Open a product page on aliexpress.ru, aliexpress.com or aliexpress.us.
3. Click the download button in the extension panel.
4. You get a ZIP with every product photo in original resolution plus the video if the listing has one. Photos are numbered, main image first.

The download is free with a generous daily limit. PRO ($4.99 per month) removes the limit and can export photos in marketplace format, such as 3:4 for Wildberries and Ozon.

What to do with the photos after download

1. Pick the 5-8 strongest shots: main angle, details, size reference, packaging.
2. Check for store logos, Chinese text or someone else’s watermark. Replace those shots or cover them with your own infographics.
3. Resize to the marketplace format: 3:4 is common for Wildberries and Ozon, a square is common for Amazon and many other platforms.
4. Do not upscale beyond the original. If the source is 800 pixels and the platform asks for 1200, ask the seller for source files or shoot the product yourself.

Can you use the seller’s photos

AliExpress photos belong to the seller or the brand. Many sellers of unbranded goods do not mind resellers using them, but ask in chat first. Avoid using photos of branded products, photos with someone else’s logo and photos with models unless you have permission. Marketplaces act on such complaints.
