What size should product images be on BigCommerce?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:53 am

When creating product images for your BigCommerce store, it’s important to consider the following factors:

1. Size of the Image

The size of the image you choose will affect how it appears on your product pages and in search results.

Generally, product images should be Small (see size guidelines below) for product pages and Medium or Large for search results.

2. Resolution of the Image

The resolution of the image you choose will affect the quality of the image. Higher resolution images look better and will save you storage space on your server.

3. File Format

Images should be in the JPG, PNG, or GIF file formats.

PRO TIP: If you are using product images on your BigCommerce store, we recommend that you use images that are at least 800×800 pixels. Images that are smaller than this may appear blurry or pixelated on your store, and could dissuade potential customers from purchasing your products.

4. File Size

Product images should be no larger than 500KB in size. Larger images will take up more storage space on your server and may slow down your website.

When creating product images, keep the following size guidelines in mind:

Small: 100-300KB

Medium: 300-600KB

Large: 600-1.2MB.
