Jim2Commerce Image Guidelines

Product images work best with our template as squares.

Jim2Commerce does generate optimal images to handle responsive screens.

These are small images that represent the product attribute in image form. Typically, these represent embroidery logos .

Category images are square in our template design.

These images can be square, horizontal or vertical. The longest edge should be no larger than 400px.

This logo should be similar in size to your company logo. It can be square or rectangular (horizontal preferred). These can be made smaller to suit your site design.

Dimensions:

▪200 x 200px (smaller square)

▪400 x 200px (horizontal)

▪400 x 400px (bigger square)

Dimensions will depend on the shape of the logo

This is your own logo, which is best being transparent. It can be square or horizontal, but not recommended to be vertical. An important thing to note is the size of the logo image will directly apply as the size on the screen (unlike many of the other image types). It is suggested to start large and bring the logo down to size. It is recommended to use an SVG (vector based file) for your logo if available, otherwise WebP.

Dimensions:

▪100 x 100px (smaller square)

▪250 x 80px (horizontal)

▪1920 x 400px (Thick)

These are overlaid across your product image when the right conditions are applied. It is important that these are transparent images so the product can be seen through the image. It is best to save in WebP format.
