Image Size Recommendations
To ensure your store looks crisp and loads quickly, we recommend the following image sizes:
- Slideshow & Hero Images: 1920 x 1080px (16:9 ratio recommended for desktop)
- Product Images: 1024 x 1024px (Square 1:1 ratio is best for consistency)
- Collection Images: 1024 x 1024px (Square) or 1200 x 800px (Landscape)
- Blog Featured Images: 1200 x 800px
- Logo: Variable width, but keep max-height around 80px to 100px. PNG format with transparent background is recommended.
Tip: Always compress your images using tools like TinyPNG before uploading to Shopify to improve page speed.

- Go to Online Store > Themes in Shopify.
- Upload the new ZIP file as an unpublished theme.
