The primary image displayed at the top of a product page or homepage, typically the first visual element a visitor sees. It has the single largest impact on conversion rate among all on-page elements.
Product page hero image best practices: white or neutral background for detail visibility, multiple angles (front, back, detail, lifestyle), product-in-use photo as secondary hero, and 2000px+ resolution for zoom capability. Testing different hero images (studio vs lifestyle, model vs no model, product alone vs in context) is one of the highest-ROI CRO tests for D2C brands. A winning hero image can improve CVR by 20-40% on its own.
