Frequently Asked Questions

Will it work on garments with delicate details?

Yes — edge detection preserves lace, sheer panels, and texture. Use high-resolution originals so fine details remain sharp in the final output.

What is the best image ratio for apparel product photos on Shopify?

Portrait - not square. A survey of top fashion ecommerce brands found the most popular image ratio is 2:3, followed by 4:5, showing brands are intentionally optimising for mobile viewing. On Shopify, 4:5 portrait delivers a more editorial feel while 2:3 provides vertical space for full-length garment views. This recipe outputs at 1280×1600px (4:5) by default, scalable to 2048px on the long edge - the range where Shopify's zoom functionality activates without slowing page load.

Do ASOS, Zalando, and Amazon accept portrait-format apparel images?

Yes, with platform-specific requirements. Zalando requires on-model photography at a minimum 1600px on the shortest side - 2400×3200px recommended - and does not accept flat lay as a primary image. ASOS requires a minimum 2000px width, and non-compliant images delay listing approval by 2–4 weeks. Amazon requires white background at 2000×2000px minimum. This recipe outputs configurable dimensions for each platform from one source upload, so a single batch covers your full multi-channel distribution.

Does it match marketplace portrait requirements?

Yes. Output sizes are configurable to meet Amazon, ASOS, Zalando, and Shopify portrait specifications.

Why do apparel brands use portrait images instead of square on Shopify?

Portrait shows full-length garments - dresses, coats, trousers - without cropping or wasted whitespace that square framing creates. On Shopify DTC stores, on-model and ghost mannequin primary images consistently outperform flat lay on add-to-cart rate for garment categories. Consistent portrait grids increase collection page browse-to-product click rates by 28%. This recipe applies a uniform 4:5 portrait crop to every garment in a batch, so your collection grid delivers that lift without manual per-item editing.

What happens to my Shopify collection page if apparel images have mixed ratios?

The product grid breaks. Mixing portrait and square images produces uneven thumbnails and inconsistent card heights - a visually chaotic experience that reduces browse-to-product click rates. Uniformity matters more than resolution alone - consistency in aspect ratio is the single most impactful image decision for collection page performance. This recipe batch-processes your entire apparel catalog to a uniform 4:5 portrait ratio in one upload, regardless of how inconsistently the originals were shot.
