Transparent Background for Product Images on collection pages - IMPACT THEME

Topic summary

Goal: make product images appear with transparent backgrounds on collection pages in the Impact theme. PNG images looked transparent on product pages but showed a white background on collection cards.

Details and investigation:

  • Preview links were shared; example product: Outdoor Portable Battery 15000mAh Sandy Beige.
  • The collection card was pulling a JPEG asset, which doesn’t support transparency (unlike PNG).

Proposed solutions:

  • Use the PNG version for collection thumbnails to preserve transparency.
  • Add a CSS override to the product card container to control the visible backdrop: .product-card__image { background-color: #f0f0f0; }.

Outcome:

  • The CSS change was applied and confirmed to fix the visual issue for the user.

Notes:

  • A screenshot showing the white background on the collection grid was central to diagnosing the problem.
  • Status: resolved; no further action items.

HI!

I already tried many CSS I found in the community but none of them worked. I want to change the product images background to transparent, now it’s white even with the PNG file.

Thank you!

I testes with the 15000maH Beige battery, as you can see it’s already in PNG file but it shows white.

@NatHypo - which product do you have with png images? I just checked this one as test and it has jpg image

This one , but please check it in the collections page - the background shows in white.

Hi @NatHypo

Would you mind taking a look and sharing your store’s URL along with the password if it’s protected? Thanks!

@NatHypo - because it is using this image which is jpeg, you need to add png image and it should work

In the product page it looks good (transparent), but in the collection looks like this:

@NatHypo - add this css to the very end of your theme.css file and check

.product-card__image{background-color: #f0f0f0;}
