The image variants feature of Shopify can help you display a product that comes in different sizes, shapes, or styles easily on the same product page. Based on customers’ different options from the product’s drop-down menu, the image will change with the different styles accordingly. However, the first thing you have to do is set up your product variants, and then you can add variant images for each of them.

You can easily add product variants while adding a new product. In the product’s inventory and variants section, each of your product variants will appear in a list after you have created them. The product variants will now be live in your Shopify store.

In the instruction below, we will guide you to add an image to a new variant in the Shopify store with ease.
