How to stop shopify from compressing images

Topic summary

A user is experiencing image quality degradation when uploading slideshow images to their Shopify store. Despite the original image being 2048 x 910px and appearing high-quality outside Shopify, it becomes pixelated after upload due to Shopify’s automatic compression.

Proposed Solution:

  • Editing the slideshow liquid file code may prevent automatic compression
  • A collaborator has offered to access the theme and implement the fix directly
  • This requires sharing a collaborator request code to grant theme access

The issue remains unresolved pending the user’s decision to share access credentials.

We will need to edit code of slideshow liquid file to do that, if you don’t mind, please share your collab request code so I can send a collab request to access your theme and do it for you.
