Step 1
Collect each source image with its original dimensions and file name, the placements now in use with the exact dimensions they require, the safe area the message must stay inside, and the file format and weight limits for uploads.
Existing images were made for one size, and the placements now in use crop them until the message disappears. In this case, the immediate task is to prepare banner crops for required dimensions. The workflow should produce banner or collection-image briefs and size variants, each crop verified against the supplied placements.
First replace every [bracketed] placeholder with real store scope and constraints, then add any actual records or data you have, and paste it into your preferred AI assistant or Spark agent. Spark will follow this page's workflow to produce structured output and verification steps.
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me prepare banner crops for required dimensions.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].
My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [source images with their original dimensions and file names, the placements in use with the dimensions each requires, the safe area for the message, and the upload format and weight limits]. Crop every image from the largest available source rather than upscaling a smaller one, keep the subject and the message inside the safe area at the smallest required size, and flag any source whose resolution cannot fill its placement without visible softening.
Return banner or collection-image briefs and size variants with each crop verified against the supplied placements for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.Split the work into input, judgment, and deliverable phases. Verify each step's output before moving to the next.

Crop every image from the largest available source rather than upscaling a smaller one, keep the subject and the message inside the safe area at the smallest required size, and flag any source whose resolution cannot fill its placement without visible softening.
Deliver the crop set with a per-file note of source name, target dimensions and review status, verify every supplied placement has exactly one matching file, and list the crops held back for a human decision.
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
No. Enlarging softens both the product and the text, so a source too small for a placement is reported as needing a new file instead of being stretched until it reaches the required dimensions.
By comparing the delivered file's dimensions with the dimensions that placement requires, then opening it at the smallest supported size to confirm the message and the product are both still inside the safe area.
They are listed with the reason, such as insufficient source resolution or a subject that leaves the safe area at the required aspect ratio, so the merchant can supply a new source or change the placement.
Start with scenarios under the same topic, then expand into cross-topic matches suggested by similarity.
