Gem Support: Image and video size recommendations
Gem will look best when you provide the largest source images possible. The theme will load the right size for the right situation, making sure your site loads as quickly as possible. We recommend JPG over PNG files for better load times.
Products
Because the product page's desktop layout is adjustable, we recommend thinking about your photography mobile-first.
For most products a square (1:1) aspect ratio will ensure that your product can be accurately shown in full detail on your store without the need to pinch or zoom.
