Caption settings

Overview #

The Caption settings group is designed to control the appearance and behavior of captions across your shop. These settings provide a cohesive look and feel for captions, which can be applied universally but also customized at the section or block level. This flexibility ensures that captions complement the overall design of your shop while enhancing the presentation of media content.

Key components and functionality #

Caption media

This setting allows you to specify whether the caption is associated with an image or a video. It provides flexibility in how media content is presented alongside textual information, ensuring that the caption enhances the media without overshadowing it.

Text alignment

The text alignment setting determines how the caption text is aligned relative to the media. Options typically include left, center, or right alignment, allowing for a tailored presentation that matches the overall design aesthetic. This setting helps maintain a clean and organized look, regardless of the media type.

Caption position

This setting controls where the caption appears in relation to the media. You can choose between positioning the caption at the top or bottom of the media. This choice can impact the visual hierarchy and readability of the content, allowing you to emphasize certain aspects of the media.

Text size

The text size setting allows you to adjust the size of the caption text. Available options include:

1. Small
2. Medium
3. Large
4. Extra large

The default size is medium, providing a balanced appearance that is neither too prominent nor too subtle. Adjusting the text size can help ensure that captions are legible across different devices and screen sizes.

Usage examples #

You might consider using the Caption settings to highlight product features by placing a descriptive caption at the bottom of a product image, aligned to the center, with a medium text size. This setup ensures that the caption is easily readable without overshadowing the product image.

For video descriptions, you might consider positioning the caption at the top with a large text size to immediately grab attention. Align the text to the left to maintain a clean and professional look.

These settings provide a versatile framework for enhancing the presentation of media content across your shop, ensuring that captions are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
