Resize for Shopify
Get a 2048 × 2048 image, padded so nothing is cut off, and download it.
Shopify banner, slideshow and collection image sizes
Shopify themes crop and scale banners, slideshows and collection images differently, so there is no single correct banner size. Open your theme's image settings or documentation to see the size it displays.
For product images, a consistent square keeps every theme's grid even.
Why Shopify product images look blurry or different sizes
Images below 2048 px can look soft on large screens and zoom.
Mixed aspect ratios make product cards different heights — resize every main image to the same square.
Heavy compression apps can lower quality; keep the original and compress once.
