Instead of displaying collection images from your Shopify admin, upload a custom image to appear on all collection pages.

`Click Collection banner section to find settings`

<table><thead><tr><th width="157">Setting</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><mark style="color:blue;">Image</mark></td><td>Select or upload a custom image for the banner to override the image from your Shopify admin settings</td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:blue;">Mobile image</mark></td><td>Select or upload an alternate custom image for the banner when on mobile devices.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Show custom images for collections

***

To show custom images for collection pages using the same template, you can use **metafields** and **dynamic sources**. Use this option if you want to show different images without changing the collection image in your Shopify admin.

There are three general steps:

1. Create a 'file' **metafield** for collections.
2. Add **custom images** to the new metafield in your collections.
3. In your theme editor, add the metafield as a **dynamic source** to the banner image setting.

<details>

<summary><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>STEPS</strong></mark></summary>

**Create a File metafield for your collections**

1. In your Shopify admin, go to **Settings > Custom data**.

   <figure><img src="/files/UnksDMU420JHboahZj5T" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
2. Select **Collections.**
3. Click **Add definition**.
4. In the **Name** field, enter a name that describes what the metafield is for. For example: “Banner image”.

   <figure><img src="/files/BhzxVmoeDG4xDCKDkoNG" alt="" width="560"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
5. Click **(+) Select type** and select **File**.
6. Under **Validations**, make sure **Accept specific file types** is selected, and uncheck **Videos.**
7. Click **Save**.

**Add images to metafield in collection settings**

1. From your Shopify admin, go to **Products** > **Collections** and open your collection.
2. Scroll down to the **Metafields** area, and click the banner image metafield you created to select an image.

   > If no image is uploaded to your banner image metafield, the theme will use the default collection image.

   <figure><img src="/files/RHLQNLEST8yaydnzC2Im" alt="" width="515"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
3. Click **Save**.

**Connect metafield to the banner image setting**

1. In your theme editor (**Customize**), go to the collection template and click **Collection banner**.
2. Under **Collection image banner**, click the **Connect dynamic source** button in the top-right of the image field.\\

   <figure><img src="/files/mkC7psxk465BsfVBHIZR" alt="" width="227"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
3. Select your custom metafield from the list.
4. Click **Save**.

</details>

> **Metafields** allow you to store extra information about your products, collections, or pages. You can create custom metafields in the Shopify admin. In the theme editor, you can add **dynamic sources** to automatically display the metafield content for the current page.
