Image quality and aspect ratio in Shoporama

Shoporama automatically optimizes the images in your store so that pages load quickly. Here you can read about how image quality and image format work.

Image Format

Shoporama supports three image formats. Your store has a default format that is used for all images unless the theme specifies a different one. The default format cannot be changed in the admin panel. If your store needs a different format, please contact us.

The theme can select a specific format for individual images, and that format will be used instead of the default format. In Montana, MontanaB2B, Delaware, and DelawareDK, most images—such as product images and images in the page designer—are always displayed as WebP. Montana, Delaware, California, and Alaska use JPG for the image that appears when a page is shared on platforms like Facebook.

Image Quality

The quality setting is a number between 1 and 100, and the default value is 75. It applies only to images saved as JPG. This also applies when your store otherwise uses WebP, such as the image displayed when a page is shared on social media. WebP images are always saved at a quality of 90, regardless of the setting, and PNG is lossless, so the number doesn’t matter here.

For images saved as JPG, the number means the following:

Tips for Images

• Always upload images in the highest quality you have available. Shoporama saves product images at up to 2000 × 2000 pixels and automatically scales and compresses them
• Use square images for products to ensure a consistent look
• Avoid uploading images that are already heavily compressed
• WebP, which is the default format, typically offers the best balance between quality and file size

Edit the image after uploading

You can edit an image directly in the admin panel after you’ve uploaded it: rotate it, crop it, or set a focus point so that the most important part always remains in the image when the theme crops it. The original is preserved, and you can always reset it. Learn how to edit images.
