  3. To customize the option configuration, clear the Use Default checkbox next to the option and select the required value.

  4. In the General section, configure the following options:

    Enable Original File Names — When enabled, the original image file name will be appended to the system-generated hash value. All non-alphanumeric characters (e.g., “:”, “)”, “,”, “~”) will be replaced with “-” (dash).

    For example, the name of the file is coffee_maker/bosch_#RND123.jpg, the system-generated hash value is “media/cache/attachment/product_gallery_main/5bae287538.jpg”. If the option is enabled, the file name will be displayed in the storefront as follows “media/cache/attachment/product_gallery_main/5bae287538-coffee-maker-bosch-RND123.jpg”

  1. In the Product Image Watermark section, you can control the watermark that will appear on top of every image uploaded as part of product details.

    • File — The image file with the watermark on a transparent background.

    • Size — The size of the watermark in percentage compared to the whole image.

    • Position — The watermark position on the image (e.g., top left, top, top right, left, right, center, bottom left, bottom, and bottom right).

  1. In the Image Gallery Options section, enable or disable product previews on product listing pages by simplifying product selection for customer.
