Shopify Ride change image with text image text

Topic summary

Issue: In the Shopify Ride theme’s “Image with Text” section, the image appears too large. Setting image width to Small didn’t reduce it enough, and adjusting image height caused distortion unless kept on “Adapt to image.”

Request: Sought a method to make the image smaller without squeezing/distorting.

Context: Provided a storefront preview link and password for review.

Follow-up: Asked again if there’s any way to make it smaller beyond the available settings.

Resolution: Solved by placing the original image onto a 500×500 blank canvas and uploading that composite to Shopify. This is a manual workaround; no built-in theme setting or native solution was confirmed in the thread. The discussion appears resolved via this workaround, with no additional action items noted.

Hi,

I am using the shopify theme “ride”.

When I use a Image with Text Object the Image is way to big - even though I already set the image width to small.

How can I make the image even smaller, without it getting squeezed?

Because when I change the image height it squeezes so I have to keep it at “Adapt to image”.

Thanks!

and is there any way to make it smaller?

Okay thanks!

I solved it by placing the image on a 500*500 blank image and pasting it into shopify - a very complicated way I know but if it wont work in any other way…
