Mercado Libre rule

Mercado Libre: product must occupy 95% of the canvas

Mercado Libre's seller guidance asks for the product to occupy roughly 95% of the canvas with the subject centered. Wide empty margins reduce the rendered subject size in search and trigger a quality penalty.

What we check

CatalogPrep estimates the subject bounding box using the background mask and confirms it covers at least 95% of the canvas; deviations are flagged as a warning.

How to fix

Crop or scale the product so its bounding box reaches 95% coverage. CatalogPrep's Mercado Libre preset auto-centers the subject against the platform's safe-margin profile.
