FAQ
- What is the recommended Shopify product image size?
Shopify says square product images usually display best at 2048 x 2048 px, though final display depends on the theme. - Does Shopify automatically optimize product images?
Shopify's CDN can serve suitable formats for each visitor, but uploads still need to meet file size and pixel limits. - Should Shopify product images be square?
Square images are not always mandatory, but they are easier to keep consistent across product pages, collection grids, and themes. - Can I export WebP for Shopify?
Yes. Shopify supports WebP, and it can be a good option for storefront performance when your workflow accepts it. - What does the Shopify megapixel check mean?
The tool checks whether the image stays within Shopify's stated pixel and megapixel upload limits for product and collection images.

Export guidance
JPEG is usually best for photographic product images. PNG is useful for transparent or graphic assets. WebP can be efficient for storefront performance, but use JPEG or PNG when the target marketplace does not accept WebP.
