NEW: Smart Image Display
Intelligent image system that automatically maintains consistent dimensions in your cart, eliminating layout shifts
What's New
We've launched Smart Image Display - an intelligent system that automatically maintains consistent image dimensions in your cart, eliminating layout shifts and creating a polished shopping experience.
Your cart now intelligently determines and maintains the optimal image aspect ratio for your products. When you install EliteCart, it automatically analyzes your product catalog and sets the perfect image dimensions - no configuration required.
Key Capabilities
AI-powered auto-determination:
- Analyzes your product images on installation
- Identifies your most common aspect ratio
- Automatically applies the optimal settings
- Re-analyze anytime with one click
Flexible display control:
- Choose from preset ratios: Square, Portrait, Standard, or Custom
- Control image fitting: Contain (show full image) or Cover (fill container)
- Set custom dimensions for unique product types
- Match your theme's existing image display
Why It Matters
Layout shifts kill conversions. When product images load at different sizes, your cart's layout may shift while images are loading. Smart Image Display reserves exact space for each image before it loads, creating a stable, professional cart from the first millisecond.
The Technical Advantage
The system analyzes your Shopify product catalog, calculating aspect ratios across your active products. It then applies the most common ratio using CSS aspect-ratio properties, ensuring:
- Zero layout shift (CLS)
- Consistent image grid
- Faster perceived performance
- Perfect mobile responsiveness
Getting Started
For new installations, it's already working. The AI has analyzed your products and set optimal ratios automatically.
For existing users:
- Navigate to Cart Designer → Layout & functions → Image Display
- Click AI determine to analyze your current catalog
- Optionally adjust the image fit mode
- Save and enjoy a shift-free cart
Examples in Action
- Fashion stores: 2:3 portrait ratio with contain mode preserves full outfit visibility
- Jewelry brands: 1:1 square ratio with cover mode creates Instagram-worthy grid
- Electronics: 3:4 standard ratio with contain mode shows complete product details
- Mixed catalogs: AI-determined ratio adapts to your unique inventory
Advanced Control
Beyond automatic determination, you have complete control:
- Set custom ratios for unique product lines
- Switch between contain and cover modes instantly
- Re-determine ratios after photography style changes
- Override AI suggestions with your preferred dimensions
Migration Notice
If you used our legacy "Force square pictures" option, we've automatically migrated you to the new system with Square (1:1) ratio and cover mode. All your settings are preserved and enhanced.
