How to Draw on an Image on Shopify
Last modified: December 2, 2021
When it comes to selling online, you want to make sure that you have the images to sell the idea/product yourself. Images are great because they can say more than words can and are processed by the brain quicker.
However, you might want to add some customization to photos on some blogs or products that highlight specific elements. As well as cropping, enhancing and resizing images, you can also draw on an image. This can help you add an arrow to highlight something or circle an object on a photo.
So, here are the instructions to draw on an image on your Shopify website.
Step 1 – Login
The first step is to ensure you’re logged into your Shopify store.
Step 2 – Files
Go to your ‘Files’ page and then click on the image you would like to adjust. This will open up a new box on the screen. You can click on the ‘Edit’ option to see the image editor dialog box appear.
Step 3 – Draw
Now click on the ‘Draw’ option.
Step 4 – Choose the Brush Size and Color
Once you’ve opened up the ‘Draw’ section, you can choose the brush size and the color. Ensure that you’re not using a brush size that is too large for the role and you can choose the color through the color picker. Be tasteful when choosing the color. Remember that customers will judge your website based on your decisions and the color can have a profound impact on what customers think of your brand.
Step 5 – Draw
Move your mouse over to the area you would like to add some lines/color. Then left click on your mouse and drag the mouse across the area you want to edit. If you make a mistake, you can delete the addition using the ‘Eraser’ option and repeating this process.
Step 6 – Apply
Once you’ve finished drawing, you can click on the ‘Apply’ button. This will apply the adjustments to the image.
Step 7 – Save
If you’re happy, click on the ‘Save’ option for the image to be saved as you’ve edited it.
Final Word: How to Draw on an Image on Shopify
If you want to add to an image on Shopify, you can use the inbuilt image editor for your website. However, be warned, the editor isn’t as functional as other editors that are available. You might prefer to use PixPix Image editor for all your image editing needs.
