How to Resize an Image for Your Shopify Store In 7 Easy Steps

Did you know that poor-quality product images in Shopify can negatively affect your bottom line? It's all about first impressions—and, as you may know, first impressions are lasting.

As an e-commerce store owner, since you don't have the luxury of putting your products into your customers' hands to look at before purchasing, you must make sure your images are visually appealing—especially when it comes to aspect ratio. The good news is that you can resize your product images (like a pro) using Shopify's image editor.

7 Steps to Resize an Image in Shopify

1. Navigate to "Crop" in the Image Editor



Once you choose the Shopify image you want to resize, go to Settings, open your image, and then click on Crop.

2. Select a New Size



Using the cropping function, frame the image area that you want to use.

3. Set a Custom Size



You can click on Freeform to crop the image to a custom size. This option will require you to click on and drag the corners of the highlighted area. Alternatively, click inside the highlighted area, then drag it to a different position.

4. Retain the Original Aspect Ratio



To crop the image using the same aspect ratio as your current picture, click on Original. Then, click on and drag the corners of the highlighted area to resize it. Alternatively, click on the inside of the highlighted area, then drag it to a different position. The aspect ratio will stay the same as the original image.

5. Crop Into a Square



Click on Square if you want to crop the image into a square shape. The image editor will then allow you to resize the image by clicking on and dragging the corners of the square. Alternatively, you can click on the inside of the square and then drag it to a different position.

6. Finish Cropping



Once you're satisfied with your new image size, click on Done to finalize cropping the image.

7. Save Your Changes



To make sure your changes are permanent, click on Save.
