Theme Images
Optimize theme-specific visual elements like banners, logos, and template images with smart compression and format conversion
What are Theme Images?
Theme Images are the visual elements stored in your theme settings - header images, logos, banners, section backgrounds, and other template-specific graphics. These files are uploaded to Shopify's Admin › Content › Files section and are referenced by your theme code.
Unlike product photos that appear on your catalog pages, theme images control your store's overall design and branding. Optimizing these images improves homepage load speed, reduces bandwidth usage, and enhances Core Web Vitals scores without affecting your product catalog.
