Block: Image
This section is great for displaying a single image, like an image within a modal.
- Image Section: Ideal for showcasing a single image.
- Images With Text: Great for presenting images alongside headings, descriptions, and CTA buttons, with the option to customize the ratio of image to text.
- Gallery: Perfect for creating a grid of photos and videos. Clicking on an image or video opens a lightbox popup to display related content.
- Icons With Text: Designed for displaying a slider or grid of images, icons, and text. This section can be used for showcasing Trust Badges, a scrolling announcement bar, logo lists, testimonials, or any text columns with icons.
What is the Image section perfect for?
You have various options to use the Image section for your Shopify themes:
- Showcase a modal with two columns, featuring an image in one column and either a newsletter sign-up form or promotional information in the other column.
How to add Image section
- Step 1: Add a Section Settings section that allows you to control the global settings of the Image section.
- In this special section, you can specify multi-column layouts, activate full width, determine the section's maximum width, choose a background color, and set global margins and padding, among other options.
- Note: If you include the Image in the core product information, skip the step for adding Section Settings. Just add the Image.
- Step 2: Add an Image section and customize the settings according to your preferences.
