Image hero

Last updated 1 month ago

Was this helpful?

The Image hero section provides a highly-customizable feature for your boldest product photos and promotional content. Create a unique section with plenty content and visual design blocks, video player, multiple buttons, and comprehensive image settings.

Set up section


Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can or

In the editor side panel, click (+) Add section and select Image hero. Click and hold the drag handles ⋮⋮ to re-order sections.

Click the section to edit the general section styles: |

Set up hero image


Upload an Image and fine-tune its Height, Focal point, and color Overlay or Gradient. Add a Mobile-specific image for the best results on smaller screens.

STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Click on the Image hero section to open the section settings.

  2. Click Select image to upload and select an image file.

    There are no required images dimensions. We simply recommend uploaded images have a minimum width of 2050px for optimal quality across all devices.

  3. (Optional.) Upload a Mobile image to display only on mobile devices.

    You may want a different image that works best with mobile screen dimensions, for example a portrait shaped image.

  4. Under Image height, choose to display the image with a Custom or the Original height (without cropping).

  5. If Custom height is selected: adjust the Height and Mobile Height of your image between 50% to 100% of the maximum height.

    The Height is the percentage of the window height on your customer's device.

    When Custom height is set to 50%, the image will always display at half the height of the customer's screen.

  6. Use Image focal points to specify the main focus of your images. The focal point of your image will remain centered and within frame when your site adapts to different screen sizes.

    See our to learn more about specifying a focal point for an image used within a section or for an uploaded image file when used anywhere on your site.

  7. Change the Overlay color and Overlay opacity using the slider to increase the contrast between the text and image.

    These settings help make your text clear and readable.

  8. (Optional) Click the Overlay gradient option to add a color overlay that fades across a range of hues.

    You can choose the style, angle, position, and opacity of the gradient. See Shopify's to learn more.

  9. Click Save
