SHOPIFY MEDIA PREPARATION

Prepare Shopify Images and Product Video

PLAN FOR THE FINAL PLACEMENT

Images and Video Behave Differently Inside a Shopify Theme

Prepare the media for the exact collection, gallery, zoom, and mobile placements buyers will use. Upload limits alone do not guarantee a good result.

Placement

Product images

Plan for collection cards, product-gallery slides, thumbnails, zoom, recommendations, and responsive crops.

Product video

Plan for the product-media gallery, poster frame, media order, controls, loading behavior, and mobile playback.

Source file

Product images

Keep a high-quality master with enough crop room, then export consistent versions for each theme placement.

Product video

Choose direct upload or a supported external video link, then prepare the file, poster, and order for that method.

Theme test

Product images

Check crop, product scale, background consistency, thumbnail clarity, zoom, loading, and mobile layout.

Product video

Check poster frame, order, controls, autoplay behavior, sound handling, loading, and playback on mobile.

DESIGN FOR THE THEME

Prepare Media for the Real Shopify Layout

A file can meet the upload limit and still crop badly in the live theme. Review the placement, product scale, and playback behavior together.

  1. 01

    Identify every placement

    List the collection card, product page, zoom view, mobile crop, and product-media gallery.

  2. 02

    Keep a flexible master

    Leave enough room around the product to create consistent crops without shrinking it too far.

  3. 03

    Test media in the live theme

    Check image crops, video order, controls, loading, and mobile playback before publishing.
