What Nova Variant Images

& Swatch does

What Nova Variant Images

& Swatch does

Variant Gallery

Show only the images for the selected variant

When a customer picks a color, finish or style, the gallery updates to show only that variant's images. Unrelated images stay hidden.

Perfect for

Apparel, footwear, bags, jewelry, eyewear, home fixtures, electronics

Videos & 3D Models

Assign videos and 3D models per variant, not just images

Add a video for your black sneaker, a 360° spin for your gold ring, or a close-up of your brass shower column's finish. Each one shows only on its variant.

Shopify doesn't support this natively.

Shopify allows one image per variant by default. Nova adds multiple images, videos and 3D models.

We've tried many apps to show specific images for each variant, and this is the first one that actually works seamlessly and without losing site speed. It made our product pages look much cleaner. The setup was very easy, and the customer support is top-notch.

Common questions.

FAQ

How do I hide irrelevant images for Shopify variants?

Install Nova and assign images to each variant. When a customer selects a variant, Nova hides all unrelated images automatically.

Is there a Shopify product gallery app with video and 3D support?

Yes. Nova lets you assign multiple images, videos and 3D models to each Shopify variant, with built-in zoom.

Can I automatically assign images to Shopify variants?

Yes. Nova's bulk assign lets you map media to all variants at once, so you don't tag each product by hand.

Does Shopify support multiple images per variant natively?

No. Shopify's default behavior only allows one image per variant. For multiple images, videos, or 3D models per variant, you need an app like Nova — which extends this natively without slowing your store.

How do I reduce returns with better variant photos?

Show customers only the images for the variant they select. With Nova, a customer choosing brass sees only brass, so they get what they expect.

Can I switch from Rubik or VSlide to Nova?

Yes. Install Nova, assign your existing media to variants, and our team helps with setup for free.

Is there a Shopify plugin for variant image swatches?

Yes. Nova replaces plain variant buttons with image swatches and can hide unselected or unavailable variants.

How do I fix a cluttered Shopify gallery showing every color?

Nova shows only the selected variant images, so the gallery updates to one color at a time.
