Gallery layouts

Slider, grid 1-2-2, grid 2-2-2, grid 1-1-1 — picking the right gallery for your imagery.

Updated 2026-05-09

Four gallery layouts cover most catalog needs. Set in Customize → Product → Gallery layout.

Slider

Single main image with thumbnail column on the left (desktop). Click a thumbnail or use arrow buttons to switch images. On mobile the gallery becomes a swipeable single-image carousel with dots.

Best for: apparel, accessories, anything that benefits from large hero imagery + many alternates.

Grid 1-2-2

First image is a full-width hero, then 2 rows of 2 images each. Editorial — feels magazine-like.

Grid 2-2-2

Three rows of 2 images each. Clean grid feel — works for products with 6 well-shot frames.

Grid 1-1-1

Single column of full-width images. Vertical scroll. Best for very tall imagery (full-body lookbook shots, lifestyle vignettes).

Mobile behavior

All grid layouts collapse to a swipeable carousel on mobile (since stacking 5+ tall images creates a tall scroll on phones). Slider stays a slider.

Image ratio (theme-wide)

Theme settings → Product → Image ratio:

  • original (default) — each image keeps its natural ratio
  • 1-1, 3-4, 4-5, 4-3 — force a uniform crop

When non-original is chosen, you also set Focal point (Top / Center / Bottom) — controls how each image is anchored when cropping.

Force a ratio when your product imagery is mixed and you want the gallery to feel orderly. Keep original when imagery is consistent.

Video & 3D models

Galleries support image, video, and 3D model media types. Switching to a video slide auto-pauses if you switch away. Auto-play (when enabled in settings) starts the video as soon as it becomes the active slide on mobile.
