Understanding watermark options with Pixify

Explore the watermarking options that Pixify offers for your product images to safeguard your digital content.

Pixify offers two methods for applying watermarks to your product images, giving you the control to customize how you protect and display your content.

Method one: Single watermarked image

By default, Pixify makes a downsized product image from your uploaded content and applies a watermark. Shopify uses this watermarked image for the product detail page and the thumbnail displayed in collections. While this method is universally compatible with all Shopify themes, some users prefer not to have watermarks on thumbnails, especially when multiple watermarked thumbnails are displayed together, which can look cluttered.

Method two: Dual image generation - with and without watermark

This option allows Pixify to create two versions of your product image: one with a watermark and another without it for thumbnail use. This is particularly useful for aesthetic reasons, as it avoids redundant watermarking in product grids. However, note that this method isn't natively supported by Shopify themes. It may require additional customization or code adjustments to function correctly. If you're utilizing Pixify's theme app blocks for your product and collection pages, the correct images will display automatically.

Choose the watermarking method that aligns best with your brand's aesthetics and security needs.
