Upload product images and media

Upload product images and media in Shopify — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I need these seven product images and the two lifestyle videos attached to the product page for the new Summer Linen Shirt uploaded and ordered so the hero image is the front-on shot and the third image is the fabric-closeup. Put alt text that mentions ‘linen’ and ‘breathable’ and add the two videos to the media gallery. After upload, preview the product page on mobile and confirm the hero displays first and videos autoplay muted on iPhone Safari.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I add these images and videos to the Summer Linen Shirt page, make it easy for a reviewer to approve: show the hero/front image first, surface file names and resolutions, flag any image under 1500px or with >2MB size, and call out if any alt text is missing or uses only SKU codes. Recommend which images to crop or replace so the product reads clearly on mobile thumbnails.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I uploaded files but the hero image looks wrong on mobile.

I just uploaded seven photos and two videos for the Summer Linen Shirt and set the first as hero, but on my phone the sleeve-closeup shows up instead. Priya in merchandising will blame layout; the marketing team will want the hero changed again. I don’t know if the platform reordered them when processing or if my export had a hidden alpha layer. What likely happened and what exact checks and quick fixes should I run now before Priya opens a ticket?

Become — change the pattern

Images keep displaying in the wrong order across listings.

Across multiple launches this quarter, images end up out of order or low-res on mobile and we lose clicks and complaints from customer support. I’m spending time re-uploading and chasing creatives. Where am I losing time or control in this upload workflow, and what habit or small process change will stop misordered or poor-quality media from reaching live product pages?

Other ecommerce work people do in Shopify.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
