Built-in Shopify Image Editing

Shopify includes a simple image editor in the admin. You can:

• Crop and resize images directly in the product editor.
• Adjust alignment or focus.
• Add alt text for accessibility and SEO.

Limitations:

• No bulk editing options.
• No advanced optimization (like compression or watermarking).
• Manual edits can take time if you have a large catalog.

For more control: Use an Image Editor Shopify app

If you want more control, Shopify offers several apps, such as a feed image editor Shopify app for advertising campaigns, or a bulk image editor Shopify tool for large catalogs. 

From the Shopify App Store, you can find various tools with different features for editing images.

Within GemPages v7, you can integrate any third-party Image Editor apps using the Shopify App Element. Refer to this article for more information.
