Complete page takeover. The entire page becomes a canvas for maximum creative freedom.
Build with Canvas — freeA full page editorial removes all constraints. Your entire page becomes a blank canvas: no header section, no predefined zones, no grid. This layout is for maximum creative freedom — artist portfolios, visual storytelling pages, experimental brand experiences, and immersive campaign landing pages.
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.
Mix and match freely. Use Reveal to crossfade between images, Lift for physical depth, Ghost for universal hover, and Lightbox for full-screen moments.
