Hide Unassigned Images

Hide images that are not assigned to the selected variant

  • Default: Disabled
  • When enabled, any image not explicitly assigned to the current variant selection will be hidden from the product gallery.
  • Ideal for merchants who want a clean, minimalist look or want to avoid visual confusion.

✨ Pro Use Case: Custom Featured Images

Using this setting, you can show a completely different image on collection pages compared to the product page.

How it works:

  1. Upload a “featured” image to Shopify and move it to the first position in the product media.
  2. In Rubik, assign variant images as usual, but leave the featured image unassigned.
  3. Enable “Hide Unassigned Images”.
  4. Shopify uses the first image (the featured one) for collection thumbnails, while Rubik hides it from the product page.

💡 Use this technique to display bold or lifestyle images on collection pages without cluttering variant-specific galleries.
