Including a portfolio of 300 pictures on Debut Theme

Store Design

Topic summary

Main issue: adding a large, free portfolio/gallery (~300 photos) to a Shopify store using the Debut theme without relying on paid apps.

Context: the site previously on Wix could host 300 images at no cost. On Shopify, available options appear to require a paid application.

Attempted approach: inserting images via the Shopify rich text editor on a page. Result: images appear blurry and unprofessional.

Constraints and needs: nonprofit association; willing to implement code/custom theme changes to achieve a free solution. A site link was provided. Images are central to the use case.

Community feedback: one participant expressed disappointment that Shopify themes do not include a built‑in page template for portfolios/galleries and felt they should.

Status: no concrete workaround or free method has been provided yet. Open questions remain about how to implement a free, high‑quality gallery within Debut (e.g., through custom templates/sections) and how to avoid image quality degradation.

Hi there !

I really need help on including a portfolio page on our website.

We used to be on wix and it wasn’t an issue to post 300 pictures for free, however so far, on shopify the option seems to be a paid application.

I’ve tried to post the pictures on the rich editor text page but the result is blurry and non professional.

==> Does anyone could let me know a way to add pictures on shopify for free ? if it includes adding codding, ill take it !

Here is our website : www.dupainetdesroses.org

We are an association and this feature is really important for us.

Many thanks !

Agathe

Shopify themes should have this page template feature. It is really disappointing that they do not.
