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:
- Upload a “featured” image to Shopify and move it to the first position in the product media.
- In Rubik, assign variant images as usual, but leave the featured image unassigned.
- Enable “Hide Unassigned Images”.
- 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.
