- White or neutral backgrounds work well for product images because they keep the focus on the product.
- Upload the highest resolution version available. BigCommerce generates multiple sizes from your original.
- Ensure your product fills at least 80% of the image frame for maximum visibility in search results.
- Test your images on mobile since a large portion of eCommerce traffic comes from phones.
- If you also sell through Ecwid, square images keep Ecwid product listings tidy across its themes.
