Recommended Image Sizes

Product image quality and size are determined by your WooCommerce  settings, found under WooCommerce Settings . Click on the  Products tab , then click the Display link and scroll down to the Product Image Sizes section.

The height is up to you depending on the kind of product images you are using, as well as the crop. Hard crop will crop the bottom off your image at the height you set. Unchecking hard crop will scale the image to the width, regardless of the height. We recommend using the same height for all image files in your shop to get the cleanest look. To mimic our demo:

  • Catalog Images: 350 width and 405 height, hard crop checked
  • Single: 450 width and 1000 height, hard crop unchecked -this allows the full product image to show regardless of orientation
  • Product: 90width and 90 height, hard crop checked

If you had content in WooCommerce or WordPress previous to activating your theme, you must run the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to re-create your theme images properly. See How to Regenerate Images to Fit Theme Templates
