Ensuring that images and videos are displayed correctly on mobile devices is crucial for providing a seamless user experience. This guide will help you adjust the mobile width settings in Shopify's Dawn theme to prevent cropping issues.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Access the Theme Editor
- From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
- Find the Dawn theme, then click on Actions > Edit code.
Step 2: Locate the Liquid File
- In the left-hand sidebar, navigate to the relevant Liquid file where the images or videos are defined. This might be a section like slideshow.liquid if you are adjusting the slideshow.
Step 3: Modify the Mobile Width
- Find the CSS or inline style code that defines the width for mobile views. It might look something like this:

.slideshow__image { width: 100%; }
Step 4: Save Your Changes
