Visual storytelling layout for your About page. Mix portraits, behind-the-scenes, and brand imagery.
Build with Canvas — freeMost About pages are a block of text with a single photo. A visual storytelling layout transforms your About page into an immersive brand narrative. Mix founder portraits, workspace photos, process shots, and product imagery into a scattered layout that visitors explore like a photo essay.
Create a new canvas
Open Canvas in your Shopify admin. Click Create canvas, name it, and choose the canvas mode that matches this layout type.
Add your images
Upload images or pull from your Shopify Files library. Drag them onto the canvas to start building your layout.
Arrange and scatter
Drag images to position them. Use rotation, sizing, and opacity controls to create depth. Overlap images intentionally for an editorial feel.
Set hover effects and links
Select each image block and choose a hover mode (Ghost, Lift, Shop, or Reveal). Add link destinations to make images clickable.
Publish to your store
Click Publish to push the layout live. Add the Canvas app block to your theme once — all future updates publish instantly.
Lightbox is the standout choice for About pages — visitors click any image for full-resolution viewing. Ghost works for consistent, understated hover across all images.
