Image Size Recommendations

Using the right image dimensions helps your store look its best while maintaining fast page load times. Large images can negatively impact performance, while images that are too small may appear blurry on larger screens.

Use the recommendations below when preparing images for your store.

Recommended Sizes by Image Type

File Format Recommendations

JPG

Best for product photography, collection imagery, banners, and lifestyle content.

For most storefront images, JPG provides the best balance between quality and file size.

PNG

Use PNG files only when transparency is required, such as logos, icons, or graphic elements.

WebP

Shopify automatically serves optimized image formats, including WebP, to supported browsers. You can upload JPG or PNG files and Shopify will handle optimization automatically.

Shopify's Image Optimization

Enhance uses Shopify's responsive image system to serve appropriately sized images based on the visitor's device and screen size.

While Shopify automatically optimizes uploaded images, starting with clean, high-quality source files will produce the best results.

Consistency Matters

For the best visual experience, we recommend using consistent image dimensions throughout your store.

For example:

• Use the same aspect ratio for all product images.

• Use the same aspect ratio for all collection images.

• Avoid mixing portrait, square, and landscape product photography within the same collection.

Consistent image dimensions create cleaner layouts, more predictable image cropping, and a more polished storefront.
