In recent years, Mobile Ready Hero Images have become a mainstay of the ECommerce landscape. Mobile Ready Hero Images make it easy for shoppers to identify the key attributes of a product, such as the category and size. This is key especially with the ever-increasing usage of mobile devices on which shoppers are used to bite-sized, visual content that is fast and easy to process.

The Challenges of Creating Mobile Ready Hero Images at Scale

While the need for Mobile Ready Hero Images has steadily increased, creating Mobile Ready Hero Images at scale has long been a challenge.

Although Mobile Ready Hero Images share similar designs, they need to be customized with specific product images, brand colors and product data. What’s more, the resulting images need to adhere to retailer specifications for dimensions, file sizes and file formats. And whenever a product refresh occurs, Mobile Ready Hero Images need to be updated with the latest product images so they match what shoppers will actually receive when they make their purchase.

Typically, this design process has required a lengthy, traditional design process, taking valuable creative resources away from more urgent design tasks. Creation of Mobile Ready Hero Images required brands to follow a manual process for pulling together product imagery, product data, brand fonts, styles and colors, all while adhering to retailer requirements. This process was extremely slow and time consuming.
