In this article we will cover:
Our plugin works with png images of the same size with transparent backgrounds. Recommended size for the PNG images is 1500px X 1500px. Squares work best in general. Each png image represents a transparent layer with the product component on the product preview. The software stacks images automatically – showing different product parts on top of each other. You can create a full representation of the product and offer a true ‘Build Your Own Product’ experience.
Please note that if you upload big images (for example 3500x3500px) each more than 1 MB the custom product page will LOAD VERY SLOW and most likely the product won't add to cart.
So please use smaller images (up to 1500px). And the recommended size for the images is 500kb - 800kb.
PLEASE USE PNG IMAGES
