Mosaic grid (2 columns)
Theme section
Theme retirement | Context is no longer available on the Shopify theme store. Theme support and updates for current users will end after May 18, 2024. Learn more here.
The Mosaic (2 columns) section displays a flexible collage of feature images and autoplay videos. Mix and match between different size blocks and reorder them to create a promotional feature or lookbook layout.
Add and reorder 4 different size blocks to change the layout. Mix and match different types of blocks (solid, image, video) to create an editorial promo or lookbook layout.
See also the Mosaic grid (3 columns) section, which has more block sizes and columns.
Set up section
Add this section to any template (except Checkout) and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and 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.
Add mosaic blocks
The Mosaic section has 4 types of mosaic blocks, which range from Small to Large with Square or Rectangular shapes.
Block types include: Small square, Medium rectangle (vertical), Medium rectangle (horizontal), or Large square.

Add an image to use for your mosaic blocks. Images will be cropped to fit the block shape: set the Media focal point to position the visible area of the image or change the Media fit to Contain to display the full image.
Add autoplay video
Add a muted autoplay video to use for your mosaic blocks. Videos will be cropped to fit the block shape: set the Media focal point to position the visible area of the image or change the Media fit to Contain to display the full image.
File Format | .mp4 video (required) |
---|---|
File size | Maximum 10MB (recommended) |

The autoplay video does not play audio. To embed a single video from YouTube or Vimeo with audio, see Context's Video section.
Add block headings
Each mosaic block can have up to three headings. Adjust the position, width, and color of your headings to match your image or video.
For mobile devices, you can choose to display headings within or after the mosaic blocks. Click on the Mosaic block section to change the Content placement for the mobile layout.
