Dawn 7.0.1 theme blurry banner and section images

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Banner and section images appear blurry on the live storefront, even though they look sharp when uploaded in the Shopify admin (backend). The issue is reported on the Dawn theme version 7.0.1.

Affected areas include the home page hero/banner and the About page section labeled “WHY SHOP OUR WALL ART.” The user notes both photo and text look blurry on the live site.

The user states image size and resolution are good, suggesting possible compression or processing on Shopify’s end rather than source quality.

The website (redhickorydesign.com) is provided for direct viewing, making the live rendering central to understanding the problem.

Hi,

I edited my shop banner and section images. When uploading on the backend, they look fine but when seeing on the actual website, the banner image and section images look blurry. Photo and text. I searched far and wide the forum, can anyone please help me sort this out? The image size and resolution is good, there seem to be something happening on Shopify end that the images show blurry on the actual website.

Website is: redhickorydesign dot com if you want to see the home page banner, but it’s also very blurry on the About page down in the middle section where is says “WHY SHOP OUR WALL ART”.

Appreciate all the help!
