# Set a Custom Social Share Image for a Single Shopify Product > Override the social share image for a specific Shopify product: pick exactly which product photos to use, combine up to four into a collage, or upload your own custom image, then preview and save. Product images · 4 min read · Updated 2026-07-13 Canonical: https://yuhuapps.com/docs/per-product-share-image-shopify Your global Settings decide how *every* product's share image looks — but sometimes one product needs special treatment. Maybe its first photo is a plain white-background shot, or you have a designed lifestyle image you'd rather share. The **Select Images** screen lets you override a single product: choose exactly which of its photos go into the preview, combine up to **four** into a collage, or **upload your own custom image** for that product only — then preview the result and save. Here's the flow. ## 1. Open Select Images for the product From the dashboard, open a product's **Select Images** screen. The left side lists that product's photos under **Images from Shopify** — the full set of images for that product pulled from your store — and, once you add any, a **Custom uploaded images** group beneath it. A **Current image** thumbnail on the right shows what the product's share image looks like right now. ## 2. Pick the photos for the preview On the right, the **Selected images** panel has four slots — labelled **1st ***, **2nd**, **3rd** and **4th** — with the hint *Select at least 1 image*. Click a photo on the left to drop it into the next open slot (the first slot shows *Click an image*). The number of slots you fill decides the collage: one photo is a clean single image, two to four are combined side by side into a collage. Use the small remove button on a slot to clear it and try another photo. ## 3. Upload your own image (optional) Want something that isn't one of the Shopify photos? Use **Upload custom image** to add your own file — a designed graphic, a lifestyle shot, whatever fits. It appears under **Custom uploaded images** and can be dropped into the selection slots just like a store photo, so you can even combine an uploaded image with product photos. ## 4. Preview before you commit Once at least one slot is filled, the **Preview image** button activates (until then it shows the tooltip *Select at least 1 image to preview*). Click it to render exactly how this product's share image will look with your chosen photos and your global branding applied. This is a real render, not an approximation — what you preview is what gets served. ## 5. Save the override When the preview looks right, click **Save image & back to dashboard**. That override is now this product's share image and won't be replaced by the automatic default for this product. Other products keep using your global Settings design, so a single override never changes the rest of your catalog. ## FAQ ### How do I change the share image for just one Shopify product? Open that product's Select Images screen, click the photos you want into the Selected images slots (or upload a custom image), press Preview image to check the result, then Save image & back to dashboard. Only that product is affected. ### Can I choose which product photos appear in the share image? Yes. The Select Images screen lists the product's photos under Images from Shopify. Click them into the four Selected images slots in the order you want. One photo makes a single image; two to four are combined into a collage. ### Can I upload my own image for a product? Yes. Use Upload custom image to add your own file. It appears under Custom uploaded images and can go into the selection slots on its own or combined with product photos. ### How many photos can I combine for one product? Up to four. The four slots (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) become a side-by-side collage; fill only the first slot for a single-image preview. ### Does a per-product override get overwritten later? No. Once you save a product's selected images, that becomes its share image and the automatic default won't replace it for that product. You can reopen Select Images to change it any time. ### Do I have to preview before saving? The Preview image step generates the actual composed image so you can confirm it before committing — the Save button becomes available once you've made a selection and generated the preview, so you always see the result first. ### Will overriding one product change my other products? No. Overrides are per product. Every other product keeps using the global design from Settings, so a single change is fully isolated. ## Related - [How to Design Branded Social Share Images for Your Shopify Store](https://yuhuapps.com/docs/customize-social-share-image-design.md) - [How to Set Up a Shopify Social Share Image for Every Product and Page](https://yuhuapps.com/docs/shopify-social-share-image.md) - [Shopify Social Share Image Not Showing?
