Overview
Adding images to your ClickBank account is important for your success as a seller. All images that are added to a ClickBank account must go through an approval process.
Note: Sellers can add images to their account before or after a product has been approved.
Images that are added to your account will be displayed on the default order form as well as the Basic Custom Order Form (BCOF) and the Advanced Custom Order Form (ACOF)--if you choose to use either of those features. Both the BCOF and the ACOF have the capacity to display a customer banner image for your product as well. The requirements for banner images are outlined below in addition the requirements for any other images uploaded to your account.

What are the guidelines and rules for images uploaded to a ClickBank account?
All images must be professional, high quality, and should not contain distracting pictures that are not relevant in any way to the seller's product. ClickBank is unable to accept images, image name tags, and image alt tags that contain any of the prohibited elements below.
The following elements ARE ALLOWED in Images:
- FDA Registered Facility
- 100% secure order page
- GMP Certified
- Refund guarantee
- Customer Testimonials (However, they CANNOT contain false, misleading, fraudulent, or deceptive claims or content).
- GMO Free, Non-GMO

The following elements are NOT ALLOWED in Images:
- Distracting pictures: Content must not contain distracting pictures that are not relevant in any way to the seller's product.
- False scarcity: Limited Inventory Bar, "Only 300 copies!"--when in reality, there are unlimited copies, tickers or timers counting down (ClickBank offers a countdown timer feature to use on the Basic Custom Order Form or the Default Order form)
Contact information: Email address, phone number, or physical address. Since ClickBank is the online retailer and secure form of payment, the contact information will need to be removed in order to comply with card brands. - Pricing of any kind: Pricing that is displayed on an image will not be able to account for taxes in taxable jurisdictions or exchange rates for foreign currencies. The pricing is unclear to the consumer if listed in a static image.

- Major Brand, Corporate Logos, or Trademarked Names
- Copyrighted Material
- Security seals: You can only use the ClickBank seals since the order form is on our domain. Security seals must be clickable, therefore, no images of security fields are allowed.
- False, Misleading, Fraudulent, or Deceptive Claims or Content
- Images that imply that an incurable disease or disorder can be cured, reversed, permanently healed, etc.
- Foul, Vulgar, or Obscene Language
- Adult content: Including nudity, depictions of people in explicit or suggestive positions, and/or depictions that are overly suggestive or sexually provocative.
Image Best Practices
When adding an image to your account, it’s important to keep the following best practices in mind.
- Mirror header images used on your order form to the header image on your website. This helps keep a consistent feel throughout the buying experience.
- Use the same product image on your sales page and your order form. This will reduce customer confusion.
- Keep image design similar throughout your sales page and your order form.
- Don’t use pixelated or stretched images.
