How to Change a Product's Main Image?

Last update: Aug 19, 2025 1 min read

A product’s main image is its primary visual representation. It appears when the product link is shared on social media or messaging platforms and serves as a visual preview.

Follow these steps to change the main image of your product:

  1. Head to the Site Admin > Store Manager > Products section.
  2. Click on the product you want to update or open its Actions menu > Edit.

The main image is also used as the featured image in the product’s SEO metadata. Additionally, you can assign a social media image that appears when the product is shared on social media.

Choose a high-quality, clear image that accurately represents your product. Ensure it looks good on your store and when shared on social media. In addition, you can try to highlight key features to attract potential buyers.
