Custom links with image
This guide describes setting up the Custom links with image section.
Use the section on a page to display a selection of links to your store's pages, with an image representing each link, and an image to represent the set of links.
The previous image shows a Custom links with image section on a store's home page. In the upper left, part of Theme editor's section menu is displayed. The menu's Fit image to text checkbox is set to on ("checked"). With this option enabled, the section's image is cropped to match the size of the section's text area. On desktop display devices, the store shows the section's image cropped to the height of the section's text area.
For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview, and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
