Add and edit product images

Adding product images to your shop is essential for appearing professional and trustworthy. High quality images allow customers to view your products in detail, leading to a better shopping experience and potentially higher sales.

For best results, product images should be at least 1100 x 1100 pixels in size and have the same image format, for example, square, wide, or portrait.

    Action Description
    Rotate image

    Use -90° or +90° to rotate the image by 90° to the left or right.

    It is not possible to freely rotate the image.

    Change the aspect ratio

    To set one of the predefined aspect ratios, select  (1:1),  (2:3),  (4:3),  (16:9) or  (3:2). The aspect ratio refers to the proportional relationship between the width and height of an image.

    To set a custom aspect ratio, select Custom. You can now drag and drop the blue border to reformat/resize the area or enter the dimensions in pixels in the fields Width and Height.

    For a more consistent look, try to use the same aspect ratio for all your product images.
    Resize the area that should be shown Drag and drop the blue border to resize the area. The format of the blue border depends on the selected aspect ratio.
    Zoom in/out Use Zoom in and Zoom out to zoom in/out. This can be useful, for instance, if you would like to show a specific detail of the image.
    Change the displayed image area

    Drag the highlighted area to a different position. To select the displayed part of the image more precisely, use the arrow buttons:
    Move image left Move image right Move image up Move image down

    Reset Use Reset to reset your current design settings regarding the size of the displayed area, its position, the zoom, and the orientation of the image.

    Caution

    Reset does not restore the image to its original state when you first uploaded it. It only resets the settings that you have just made and not yet saved.
  5. Once you are done, select Save.

You have edited the product image format. To adjust the format of other product images, repeat the steps above.

How to edit the size of the preview product images

To edit the image size of the preview images e.g. on the category overview page, you will need to open the respective page in the Editor. Hover over the category element, select Edit, and choose whether you want to display the product images in S (Small), M (Medium), and L (Large).

A preview with the currently selected product image size is immediately visible on the page in the background. If you select S, the images will be smaller and thus, more images will be shown at the same time. If you select L, the images will be larger and thus, fewer images will be shown at the same time.

How to enable the product image zoom

In order for your customers to use the image zoom on product pages in your shop, the images must be of a certain size. For images with a size of 1100 x 1100 pixels or more, you can be sure that the zoom will work on most devices. If an image is too small, the image zoom is automatically deactivated for this image. In this case, the image is already displayed at its highest zoom level.

If the image is already visible in full resolution, a further zoom would only show a blurred section. Especially on large, high-resolution screens, it is likely that a product image will already be displayed at its highest zoom level.

Therefore, it is recommended to use rather large images. Since the pages of your shop are loaded dynamically, there will not be loading time problems due to large images.

Info

You can also disable the product image zoom for your shop. Then it will never be activated even if the uploaded image is big enough. To do so, in the sidebar of the administration, navigate to Settings → Product display and select No for Enable product image zoom.
