# Variant images

> Introduced in Broadcast 5.6

Broadcast can display variants with images to help your customers choose the right product type or size. You can combine swatches for colors and other variant types with images to represent your products visually.

## Styles

Enable with the checkbox option and choose the layout style. Two layout styles are available, in-line and stacked:

#### In-line style

#### Stacked style

## Product setup

Associate images to variants in your product setup. Broadcast will use the '**Size**' variant images or any other variant type. In the example below, we've used '**Type**' for the variant images:

{% hint style="info" %}

* Variant images can be used to help customers see sizes, styles, designs or even packaging.&#x20;
* Swatches can be used to represent colors
  {% endhint %}

## Variant type

You can customize which variant types will use the Variant image feature in Broadcast. By default, Broadcast will use the 'Size' variant. To use other variant types, edit the default theme content (Language editor). Click on the **ellipsis icon** in the top left and choose '**Edit default theme content**':

Choose the '**Products'** tab:

Scroll down the long list of options under the '**Products**' tab to a group called '**Product**'.  In this group, you'll find an option called '**Variant option image'**:

<figure><img src="/files/B45DKvhNpolUlRkUFGo0" alt=""><figcaption><p><strong>Products tab -> Product -> Variant option image</strong></p></figcaption></figure>

You can change the default '**Size**' value to a different value like '**Type**':

<figure><img src="/files/ck0XrgcrIZpGTp1Q4mbr" alt=""><figcaption><p><strong>Replace Size with Type</strong></p></figcaption></figure>

**Save** your changes to complete.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Important:\
Currently, **only** **one** trigger word, like "Type" or "Size", can be used. \
Comma-separated values are not supported and will not function.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
