  • Image size - the image handler in the shopping cart resizes your images for you, so no need to worry about file sizes. Of course, if your file is really large, it could take longer to upload.
  • Image Dimensions - The images will display better if they are more square than rectangular. When saving images on your computer, don't crop them to be much taller than wide, or vice versa.
