Blurry Images and Smaller Featured Collection Dawn Theme

Store Design
, ,

Topic summary

A user reports two issues with their Shopify store (Risingsunarchive.com) using the Dawn theme:

1. Blurry Image Banner:

  • The banner image appears blurry on the website despite looking sharp in the original Photoshop file (300 resolution)
  • The user suspects Shopify is compressing the image, particularly affecting font clarity
  • A community helper suggests the issue stems from uploading a low-quality/low-resolution image

Recommended Solution:

  • Upload a higher quality (HQ) image with larger dimensions (suggested: 2000 x 800 pixels)
  • Increase the maximum image size to prevent compression artifacts

2. Featured Collection Tab Size:

  • The user wants to make the featured collection section smaller on their homepage
  • This question remains unanswered in the current discussion

The thread is ongoing with the image quality issue partially addressed but no resolution yet provided for the collection sizing request.

Hi @Settingsun

I hope you are doing good and welcome to the Shopify Community!
I am San from MS Web Designer.

I see the image is showing perfect way, there is not have an any blurry, the size of the image is low quality so the image looking blurry, my suggestion you need to upload HQ image.

Regards,

San

What would qualify as a HQ Image? When comparing the image on my website to the image I have saved from Photoshop (300 resolution), the font gets blurred on the website thus leading my to believe Shopify is compressing my photo.

You should increase the maximum size of the image like 2000 x 800 px
