See every featuregg Variant Image, Color Swatch shows only the variant images that match the selected option. A shopper who picks the red shirt sees red shirt photos in a clean variant gallery. Assign multiple images per variant by drag and drop, or let auto-assign sort color variant images in one click. Add a variant picker with text, image, or color swatches and hide sold-out variants.
Shopify limits each variant to one image. This creates a poor customer experience for products with multiple angles or detail shots per variant. Our app automatically groups your product images by variant using a simple ordering system. Place common images first, then arrange variant-specific images after each variant's featured image. When customers select a variant, they see all relevant images instantly.
