How to resize cart product image thumbnail to fit image. See picture!

Topic summary

Issue: In the Impulse theme, product thumbnails in the cart drawer and cart page didn’t fit non‑square images properly (screenshots provided).

Solution: Edit Online Store > Edit Code > theme.liquid and add a code snippet before the tag to adjust image fitting. The exact snippet isn’t shown in the thread, but the change corrected thumbnail display.

Result: The original poster confirmed the fix worked for the cart drawer/page (after image shared).

Follow-up: The user asked if the same could be applied to the checkout page.

Limitation: Checkout customization isn’t allowed unless the store is on Shopify Plus; code changes won’t affect the checkout.

Status: Resolved for cart/cart drawer; not applicable to checkout without Shopify Plus. Discussion closed with acknowledgment.

I’m using the impulse theme and my images have a slightly custom size (not entirely square). How can I adjust the image in the cart drawer and cart page to fit my product images? Thanks!

Thanks! That worked! It is possible to also edit this for the checkout?

Shopify doesn’t allows changes in the checkout page unless you’re using Shopify Plus so any code will not work on the Checkout page.
