The image slider is a topic panel on which visitors to your shop are shown several large-format images on a rotating basis.

How the images of the image slider are displayed in your shop depends on the device used by customers. An image might be displayed in its entirety in the desktop version but might be cropped vertically in the mobile version, meaning that the top or the bottom of an image is cut off. In order to prevent the most important parts of an image getting lost in this process, you can align images in the administration area under Editor.

You should have a look at the images before aligning them and ask yourself: Where are its most important parts located?

Here are some examples:

 
 
 

In this image the most important part is the bottom. To avoid that the couple is cropped out, you should align the image to the bottom.

 
 
 

In this image the most important part is the top.

 
 
 

In this image the most important part is in the middle.
