Built for Shopify
Shopify puts every photo of a product in one gallery. Rubik assigns your images, videos and 3D models to each option value, so choosing Blue leaves the blue ones on screen and hides the rest. The same values become image or colour swatches in place of the dropdown.
Polène Mini Bag
Colour: Aloe
Pick a colour. Only that colour’s four photos stay in the gallery, which is what a shopper sees on a real product page.
Each image belongs to an option value. Pick a value and the gallery shows that group only. Videos and 3D models are assigned the same way, and a product with several options shows the media its values have in common.
How variant images workReplace the variant dropdown with image swatches, colour swatches or pill buttons, mixed across options. Shape, size, spacing and the selected state are set in a visual editor, and everything renders in a shadow root so theme CSS cannot break it.
The swatch guideShow one product's variant swatches on its card across collection pages, search results and home listings. A click swaps the card image and can update the price and the add to cart link. Off until you switch it on.
Collection page swatchesPick whichever suits the catalogue. They are alternatives, not steps, and you can mix them product by product.
Hands on
Drag images onto each option value. Best for a handful of products you care about most.
Automatic
The matcher reads the product title, the option name and value, the filename, the alt text and the picture itself, then proposes an assignment you can correct.
At scale
A variant's first image opens a group and the images after it belong to that variant until the next boundary. Hundreds of products in the background, with no AI calls.

Yes. Shopify's own variant image field holds a single picture. Rubik groups as many as you like behind one option value, up to Shopify's limit of 250 media on a product.
The assignment lives in a Shopify metafield and is read by a theme app extension. No request reaches our servers while a shopper browses.
Assign images to the option that changes how the product looks, usually colour. A variant then shows the media its values have in common.
No. The app installs as a theme app extension that you switch on in the theme editor, and it reads the assignment from a product metafield. There is no theme file to edit. Custom themes that need a selector mapped are handled by support.
Yes. The bulk run groups images by the order they already sit in inside your Shopify gallery and works through the catalogue in the background, with no AI calls. An opt-in sends the same run through the automatic matcher instead.
Check the app embed in the theme editor, that the product is configured, and that the option you assigned images to is the one the theme's selector uses. Full guide
