Use this article as a reference to determine the limits of the Lightspeed eCom platform. The limits have been organized into two parts: Image limits and the remaining limits to the rest of the platform itself.
Image limits
In Lightspeed eCom, themes are designed to ensure an image is always optimized on the webpage, regardless of the original size of image uploaded. However, when overriding the theme code, the platform limits should be considered. Images in Lightspeed eCom have the following limits:
Products
Number of images per product. Depending on eCom version:
- eCom standalone: 10
- Omnichannel: 12
Max image size
25 MB. It's recommended you balance the size of your images with your page load speed and keep images less than 1 MB. Smaller images will greatly improve your website's load speed.
Max image dimensions
Images up to 5128px x 5128px will be stored unscaled. Images with dimensions larger than this will be scaled to 5128px on the largest dimension's edge.
Supported image formats
- .jpg
- .jpeg
- .gif *
- .png
- .webp
*The .gif will be uploaded to all areas, but it is only supported in the content section or long description.
Recommended color space for images
Any RGB color space. Images with a CMYK color space noticeably diminish in color when uploaded to eCom.
Platform limits
The eCom platform has limits that apply to all users. These limits are optimized to guarantee responsive operation of all online stores hosted on our platform.
Some limits can be increased, depending on your eCom store and how it's setup. Contact your account manager, or our sales team. For more information about contacting us, click here.
