Images are important material for store design. Good image quality and reasonable display can improve the overall design and the conversion rate of the store. We have listed the recommended image size for each component and some problems you may encounter in the design process so you can choose a more suitable picture according to the following suggestions.
It is recommended to provide an original picture as large as possible for the best visual display. It is recommended to use a ".jpg" instead of "png" file format for the images to load faster. The theme will load the appropriate image size based on different screens to ensure the loading speed of your website. |

FAQ
Why are my pictures cropped?
-
The module is set to a fixed height
Single-picture module: When adapting to different screen widths and mobile devices, in order to ensure the readability of the content, the height of the module is fixed by default, and the pictures cannot be displayed in equal proportions.
Carousel image module: If it is set to a fixed height, the pictures will maintain the same height under different screen widths. When the ratio changes, the pictures will be cropped. -
A fixed scale is set
If a module is set to a fixed proportion, the crop will be processed automatically. If the picture display area is not set, the default will be centered and cropped. -
Responsive image processing
Responsive images are used in many theme modules (carousel, single picture, etc.). Responsive imagery is an industry-standard technology for enlarging and cropping wide-format images to ensure that images have the same impact on desktop and mobile. The photo you took will be enlarged until it completely covers the display area, so that it can be scaled without being stretched or distorted,

Why does the picture still get cropped even if it is set to fit?
It may be that the parallax scrolling effect is turned on . In order for the parallax to take effect, the picture will be automatically enlarged to make the picture size exceed the display area, and cropping will naturally occur.
Why is the picture still not completely displayed even after using the suggested size?
First, check if the height is set to "fit to picture". If the settings are correct, then check whether the "parallax effect" is turned on, and turn it off to keep it uncropped.
