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 , 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.
