Does Shopify Resize Images Automatically?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:39 pm

As eCommerce businesses increasingly move online, the importance of high-quality product photos has grown. Clear, bright images that accurately reflect the product being sold are essential for driving sales and maintaining customer trust.

But what happens when those images need to be resized? Does Shopify resize images automatically?

The answer is yes and no. Shopify will automatically resize some images, but not all.

For example, product photos that are uploaded to the “Featured Image” section will be automatically resized to fit the designated space on the product page. However, images uploaded to the “Product Images” section will not be automatically resized.

PRO TIP: Shopify does not automatically resize images. If you upload an image that is too large, it will be distorted.

So what does this mean for eCommerce businesses? It means that businesses using Shopify need to be aware of image sizing when uploading photos to their website. If an image is too large or too small, it could impact the quality of the photo and, as a result, the sales of the product.

To ensure that all product photos are high quality, businesses should take the time to resize their images before uploading them to their website. There are a number of free online tools that can be used to resize images, or businesses can hire a professional photographer or graphic designer to help with this task.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Shopify does resize images automatically in some cases but not all. It is important for businesses using Shopify to be aware of image sizing when uploading photos in order to maintain high-quality product photos.
