Consistency is what will help you sell on Shopify and it applies to both product quality and product photos. Here is a checklist you can follow to create optimized product photos for the Shopify store.
Your product photos should follow a consistent theme on Shopify and preferably align with what your brand represents. Keeping the aesthetics, background, and pattern consistent will not only simplify the view of your product for your customers but will also help them recognize your brand.
Optimization of image size and proportion is vital for a smooth customer experience. Whatever aspect ratio you choose (1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9) has to be the same throughout. If you are a beginner, you can start by using square photos with 1024-pixel x 1024-pixel dimensions.
JPEG format should be your go-to image type for all your product photos on Shopify. It will provide you with the best quality in the smallest file size.
Image editing for Shopify can take a lot of your time. If you wish, you can do it manually but we would recommend using an app. You can try our all-in-one Shopify-compliant product photography app to automate product photo editing.
SEO optimization is vital if you wish to increase your organic reach. You can optimize your product images with alt attributes, keywords, creative descriptions, and more for the best results.
