Layout options
Image ratio Use the options to adapt media to the desired size. Several available options can be selected from the drop-down. If an option includes additional settings, they appear underneath the drop-down after selecting an option:
"Adapt to media". Displays an image in its original aspect ratio.
"Fixed height". This option helps to change an image size in pixels by specifying the parameters on the "Fixed height" scale. The height can be adjusted between 100 and 1000 pixels.
"Aaspect ratio". Select the option to adjust a media height as a percentage using the "Aspect ratio" scale. The parameters can be changed from 10% to 210%*.
*The "Aspect ratio" option is applied to mobile by default. To modify the height specifically for mobile, use the options in the "Mobile settings" subsection.
"Aspect ratio" indicators: * 100% = Square image * Less than 100% = Landscape * More than 100% = Portrait * 16:9 = 56, 4:3 = 75, 3:2 = 67, 2:1 = 50, 1:1 = 100, 9:16 = 175, 3:4 = 133, 2:3 = 150, 1:2 = 200.
"Fullscreen". Set this option to show media in the full width of a page. The image width will match the page width set in global settings if the "Use page width limit" option is ticked under Theme settings -> Page layout.
"Fullscreen without header". Using this option, the media is cropped at the top and bottom. The top spacing will be subtracted from the total height. Review your storefront to ensure the settings meet your expectations.
Width Select one of the options in the drop-down:
"Standard". Uses the default width settings.
"Wide". Displays in the full screen width.
"Fixed". This option sets the section size in pixels.
Fixed width Works with the "Fixed" option. Once the option is selected, the width can be changed manually on the scale from 450 to 2000 pixels. The margins will be set to the left and right when the "Fixed" option is used. Note! The width of the media in the section cannot exceed the page width set in the global settings. Check the parameters in Theme settings -> Page layout.
