What Size Should Shopify Banner Images Be?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 4:51 am

When it comes to creating banner images for your Shopify store, the size of your images is important. Banner images that are too small can appear pixelated and unprofessional, while images that are too large can take up too much space on your website and make your store look cluttered.

The ideal size for Shopify banner images is 1200×600 pixels. This size gives you enough space to include a high-quality image without taking up too much space on your website. Plus, 1200×600 pixels is a standard size for web banner images, so you won’t have to worry about your images being the wrong size when you upload them to your store.

If you’re not sure how to resize your images to 1200×600 pixels, there are a few different ways you can do it. You can use an online image resizer like PicResize or Photoshop. Or, if you have a Mac, you can use the Preview app that comes installed on all Mac computers.

Once you have your banner image sized correctly, you can add it to your Shopify store by going to the ‘Settings’ tab and selecting ‘Files.’ From there, you can upload your banner image and add it to your store’s homepage.

PRO TIP: Shopify banner images should be a minimum of 1200×600 pixels and a maximum of 2048×1024 pixels. Images must be in either .jpg, .png, or .gif format. If your image is larger than 2048×1024 pixels, it will be automatically resized to fit within the banner image area.
