The Image hero section provides a highly-customizable feature for your boldest product photos and promotional content. Create a unique section with plenty of content and visual design blocks, video player, multiple buttons, and comprehensive image settings.
Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can create new templates or insert dynamic content with metafields.
In the editor side panel, click (+) Add section and select Image hero. Click and hold the drag handles ⋮⋮
to re-order sections.
Sections include general styles. Click the section to find options for spacing, and animations.

Image
Select or upload an image to display as the hero image.
There are no required images dimensions. We simply recommend uploaded images have a minimum width of 2500px
for optimal quality across all devices.
Mobile image
Select or upload an alternate image to display on mobile devices. You may want a different image that works best with mobile screen dimensions, for example a portrait shaped image.
Image link
Select a page or URL to make the entire image a clickable link.
Image focal point
For desktop and mobile, select the most important part of your image to keep centered. Use focal points to avoid unwanted cropping across different screen sizes.
Under Image height, choose to display the image with a Fixed or Relative height.
Fixed heights maintain the same pixel height on all screens.
Relative heights adapt the image height as a percentage of the screen height.

When text appears on top of images, sections use Image overlay colors for the text. You can use the default colors from Theme settings > Colors, or select custom colors for the section.
The overlay also applies a tint over top the image. You can use a solid or gradient color, or turn it off.
Overlay colors with high contrast help keep text readable and accessible for everyone.
