It is common that categories do not have banner images configured initially; however, featured images can be configured for categories.
Featured/banner images appear on child and stand-alone categories only; they do not appear on parent categories. Recommended size for a category banner is 650x100. Images can be any ratio (square, 4:3, 16:9, and so on) and the storefront will scale them responsively for different screen sizes.
Below are the steps to display a featured image on a category page.
- Go to Admin Console > Catalog > Categories.
- Find the desired category in the Category list.
- Click Edit on the desired category.
- Click the Content finger tab.
- In the Content Details section, click Browse located to the right of the Large Image field to upload the desired image.
The standard size for a large image is 520 pixels and accepted image types include all standard image file formats.
- If the desired image is not available in the Image Library, click Upload and upload the image.
- Once the desired image is located, double-click it. The URL of the image should populate the Large Image Path field.
- Click Save.
The image has now been uploaded, saved and the category page will now display the featured image.
