Platform questions
Is 2048 × 2048 px required?
It is Shopify’s recommendation, not a hard requirement. The hard limits are 5000 × 5000 px, 25 megapixels and 20 MB.
Which format is best for Shopify?
Shopify states that PNG is the best format, though JPEG and WebP are also supported.
Should I use cover or contain?
Contain keeps the product fully visible with white padding, which matches Shopify’s square recommendation. Cover fills the square but may crop the product.
Does the tool upload my images to Shopify?
No. Files are processed locally and downloaded to your device; you upload them to your store yourself.
