Good Afternoon:

I have not created my shopify page as of yet for my business. However, I was wondering when I do, am I able to upload personal pics of myself as a design for my page? For example, on the homepage I may want to display a pic of myself with my product. Or, are we only limited to more generic photos?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hi @TB6 ,

With Shopify you can upload any image you want. Each theme will have different layouts and functions so you can try to create a store and learn about it, everything will be free and help you to better understand how it works.

Hope it helps!
