Common Shopify image mistakes
Uploading tiny supplier photos
Below 800px looks soft on retina displays. Upscale or reshoot, then resize to 2048×2048 for crisp product pages.
Inconsistent aspect ratios in a collection
Mixed ratios break grid layouts. Crop to 1:1 for catalog thumbnails and use separate banners for hero slots.
Oversized files slowing theme load
2048px JPEGs can still be multi-MB. Compress after resize to keep Core Web Vitals healthy.
Busy backgrounds on catalog shots
Clean product cutouts convert better. Use white background or background removal before publishing.
