Sizes on Shopify
Open a guide for exact pixels, safe zones, and an in-browser crop for that surface.
SKU masters, theme heroes, and category stamps
Product images sell one SKU—start with a 2048×2048 square master so themes can crop grids without looking soft. Homepage heroes often begin at 2048×1024 (2:1), but the live frame is theme-dependent—always preview in Customize.
Collection images brand a category at 1024×1024. Stretching a hero into a product gallery, or a product square into a full-width banner, is how letterboxed storefronts happen.
Each guide includes practical pixels, a checklist, and an in-browser crop. Nothing is uploaded to a server—you download the file and publish in Shopify admin yourself.
Quick picks
Match the task to the guide so you do not export the wrong ratio.
- New product media → Product image at 2048×2048.
- Homepage or section billboard → Hero banner at 2048×1024; re-check the theme.
- Dressing a collection card → Collection image at 1024×1024.
- Coming from Etsy or Instagram → Re-crop; those frames are not Shopify’s hero settings.
