Shopify image size in 2026
· RelMedia
Shopify recommends 2048 × 2048 px for square product images. Uploads can go up to 5000 × 5000 px (25 megapixels) and must be under 20 MB. For homepage banners, 1920 px wide in 16:9 is a safe default, but check your theme.
| Shopify image | Size (px) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Product photo (square) | 2048 × 2048 | Recommended by Shopify |
| Maximum upload | 5000 × 5000 | 25 MP, under 20 MB |
| Homepage banner / slideshow | 1920 × 1080 | 16:9, depends on theme |
| Collection image | Match your theme | Often square or 4:3 |
| Link preview (social image) | 1200 × 630 | Set in Online Store preferences |
Keep every product photo the same shape
Mixed shapes make collection pages look messy, because your theme crops them differently. Pick one ratio (square is the most common) and export every product photo at that size.
Keep the whole product visible
Cropping a square out of a tall bottle or a wide sofa cuts off part of the product. CrispSize's Shopify product size keeps the whole product and adds white space around it instead (the same approach as Amazon main images).
Formats
Shopify accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC and more. Upload a high-quality JPEG (or PNG for graphics with transparency) at the right size: Shopify resizes your upload for each place it is shown in your store.
Alt text and file names
Name files with words (organic-cotton-tote-bag.jpg) and fill in the alt text in Shopify. Both help Google Images and accessibility.
