Amazon caps product titles at 75 characters from 27 July, with AI rewriting the rest
Amazon has announced that, from 27 July 2026, product titles in all categories except media must be 75 characters or fewer, including spaces, as detailed by Leszek S. A new searchable field, Item Highlights, adds up to 125 characters for comma-separated phrases such as materials and use cases, shown beneath the title in search results and on the detail page.
What changed
The change applies to every store except in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Türkiye, and the UAE, and Amazon frames it as a mobile display improvement.
The enforcement mechanism is the sticking point: after 27 July, any title still over 75 characters will be gradually rewritten by Amazon's AI. Brand-registered owners get a 14-day window to review, modify, and approve AI-generated titles and Item Highlights before they go live; sellers without brand registration should treat the deadline as firm. The title field's long-standing role as the primary keyword container effectively ends.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means sellers must restructure titles and populate Item Highlights before 27 July or let Amazon's AI decide their wording. Worth exporting non-compliant listings now, rewriting titles to 75 characters in your own words, and moving secondary detail into Item Highlights ahead of the deadline.
