A placeholder image is an image displayed when the actual image is missing or otherwise unavailable. Products on websites your website would typically have product images associated with them. These are displayed in the product detail page, in order-related emails and a number of other pages and commuications. If an image is required but none are available, rather than a blank space, a generic placeholder image can be shown.
various pages, e.g., product detail, product gallery, product grip and list pages, and in order lines (in order summary and emails). Images can also appear in category lists/grids. Whenever images are unavailable on your site, the placeholder image will be shown.
Placeholder images would have been uploaded for your site during the setup stage.
Preparing the placeholder images
The placeholder image must be saved as .png and in four pixel dimension sizes. This is because the placeholder image size needed will depend on where it is used.
To change the placeholder images for your site, you will need the same image in four pixel dimensions:
- 50 x 50 px
- 250 x 250 px
- 500 x 500 px
- 1000 x 1000 px
Each placeholder image in the Product Images folder and the default image in the Theme folder (500px) must be named 'product-image.png'. The Category placeholder image is the same as that for Product. It should be 500px and must be named 'category-image.png'.
