Pick the best picture shapes and sizes for your theme: product cards, product pages, collections, logo and the small browser icon.


Picante crops pictures to the shape you choose. Upload large, sharp originals so they look good on every screen.

## Change a picture shape

1. Open the theme editor.
2. Select the section that holds the picture.
3. Find **Image ratio**. A ratio is the shape of a picture, width to height.
4. Choose a shape, such as **Portrait (4:5)** or **Square (1:1)**.
5. Select **Save**.

For product cards, open **Theme settings** and then **Product cards**. Use **Image ratio** there.

## Shapes Picante starts with

| Where | Starting shape |
| --- | --- |
| Product cards | Portrait (4:5) |
| Product page gallery | Portrait (4:5) |
| All collections page | Portrait (4:5) |
| Media with text | Portrait (4:5) |
| Shop the look | Portrait (4:5) |
| Product spotlight | Portrait (4:5) |
| Collection list | Square (1:1) |
| Multicolumn | Square (1:1) |
| Before and after | Landscape (4:3) |

**Adapt to image** keeps each picture's own shape.

## Good file sizes

These are examples, not rules.

| Shape | Example size in pixels |
| --- | --- |
| Portrait (4:5) | 1,600 by 2,000 |
| Square (1:1) | 2,000 by 2,000 |
| Landscape (4:3) | 2,000 by 1,500 |
| Wide (16:9) | 1,920 by 1,080 |

## Logo, browser icon and menu picture

- **Logo**: upload one at least 360 pixels wide. It stays sharp on high-resolution screens. Find it in **Theme settings**, then **Logo and favicon**.
- **Favicon**: the small icon in the browser tab. Use a 32 by 32 pixel .png file.
- **Large dropdown menu image**: use a picture at least 720 pixels wide and 900 pixels tall.

## Good to know

- Picante shows pictures up to 1,920 pixels wide. Product pictures that open full screen go up to 2,560.
- A small picture looks soft in a big space. Do not upload tiny files for big sections.
- Where there is no shape choice, the picture fills its area and is cropped. Keep the main subject near the center.
- Use one shape for all product photos so your cards line up.
