The perfect frame – on any device

A striking image is key to grabbing attention. But what looks high-quality on a desktop can quickly lose its impact on a smartphone. The main subject drifts out of focus, a slogan gets cut off, or the composition loses its clarity.

This is exactly where our proprietary image cropping solution for Shopware 6 comes in. Based on the tried-and-tested TYPO3 logic, we have created an extension that specifically optimises image cropping for different devices – ensuring a consistent brand experience across the entire responsive design.

Why an image doesn't work on all devices

Modern online shops are responsive. Layouts adapt flexibly – yet images are often still used in only one version.

This causes particular problems with campaign images, key visuals, product images and news headers: important content is no longer visible on mobile devices or loses its visual prominence.

A clearly defined, device-specific image crop is therefore a crucial factor for user experience, brand impact and conversion.

"Responsive design doesn’t
stop at the layout – it
starts with the framing."
