Lightbox & zoom
Click an image to open the full-screen viewer with zoom controls and pinch gesture.
Updated 2026-05-09
Customize → Product → Enable lightbox on image click (checkbox).
Behavior
When enabled, every product image is clickable. Click → full-screen overlay opens with the high-res version (1800px width) of the image.
Desktop
- Mouse wheel zooms in / out at the cursor
- + / − buttons in the top-left zoom in 0.5× steps
- Pan while zoomed via click + drag
- Arrow keys navigate between images
- Esc to close
Mobile
- Pinch with two fingers to zoom (smooth, gesture-tracked)
- Double-tap to toggle 1× / 2× zoom centered on the tap point
- Drag while zoomed to pan
- Swipe left / right to navigate between images (when not zoomed)
- Tap close button to dismiss
Image quality
Lightbox loads the 1800px-wide variant. For best clarity, upload product images at 2400px width minimum — Shopify's CDN downsamples for the lightbox cleanly.
Tips
- Always enable on apparel, jewellery, leather goods — fabric and finish detail drives conversion.
- Disable on highly stylised lifestyle imagery where zooming reveals composition tricks (out-of-focus areas).
