Shopify product image dimensions
Shopify recommends square product images at least 2048×2048 pixels for high-resolution zoom on modern themes. Collection grids, quick-buy modals, and cart drawers all pull from the same source image — consistent dimensions prevent awkward cropping. File sizes under 500 KB improve mobile load speed. Shopify accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP. Square crops work best for most product categories.
