The "Images settings" page enables you to configure the various image sizes that your customers will see in your shop. By default, all images settings are already installed in your store. Do not delete them, you will need it!


When you upload an image on PrestaShop, PrestaShop automatically generates various sizes of this image, including thumbnails and other smaller versions of your image. Therefore, you only have to upload one "master" version of your image, big enough to be resized into all the images sizes.

If you want to make sure your image is correctly resized, you should upload an image that fits the size ratio of the various image sizes. If your uploaded image does not have the same width-to-height ratio than the settings in place, you are taking the risk to see whitespace on the resized image.



You can enable image size for specific types of content, directly in the image sizes list.

When you add a new theme to your store, the theme will add itself the image sizes it needed. By default, the page displays image sizes from the default Classic theme.

Regenerate Thumbnails

You may be dissatisfied with your shop's current thumbnails size. This section makes it possible for you to regenerate them all – or only those for a specific type of content:



  1. Change the image size settings in the table at the top of the "Images" preference page.
  2. Select which content's images should be regenerated.
  3. Indicate whether the previous thumbnails should be kept or not.
  4. Click "Regenerate thumbnails".

 

Manually-uploaded thumbnails will be erased and replaced by automatically-generated thumbnails.
