Because the product page's desktop layout is adjustable, we recommend thinking about your photography mobile-first.
For most products a portrait (3:4 or 2:3) or 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.
