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 slide images between 50% to 100% of the maximum height.

   > The **Height** is the percentage of the screen or window height.

   > When **Custom height** is set to 50%, the image will always display at half the height of the customer's screen or window height.
6. Select the **Image focal point** to choose which section of the image to keep centered within the slide.

   > This setting ensures the key part of your image appears when cropping occurs.
7. Click **Save**.

In your theme editor (**Customize**):

1. Click the **Heading** block to change section title.

   > We recommended a short title of just a few words.
2. Click the **Subheading** block to add a few sentences below the heading.

   > We recommend two or three short sentences.
3. Use the **Max width of text** slider to control the maximum width of the headings.

   > Use this setting to create a clean visual shape for your text and avoid unwanted line breaks.
4. Use the **Show/hide** button (eye icon) to remove a heading block.
5. Click on the **Image hero** section to change the **Text container color** and **Text color**.

   > We recommend using WebAIM's [contrast checker](https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/) when matching colors to make sure your text is clear and readable for everyone.
6. (*Optional*.) Select an **Overlay color** to display overtop of the image and adjust the **Overlay opacity** using the slider.

   > The **Overlay** lets you control the brightness and tone of images. Use this setting to balance it with other images and to increase contrast with headings so they're readable.

   > Set the opacity to *0%* to turn off the overlay color; set it to *100%* to create a solid color block with no image.
7. (*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 [color gradient guide](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/theme-structure/color-scheme#gradients) to learn more.
