Shopify’s product media page gives no minimum size, no background color and no limit on how many images a product can have.1

Still yours to check

The tool cannot retake a photo. These rules depend on the picture you start with.

  • Pick one ratio and use it for every main image, so they all display at the same size.1
  • Each variant takes one assigned image. Extra views of a variant go in the product’s media gallery.2
  • Compressing first is not needed. Shopify says images do not have to be compressed before you upload them.3
