# Shared images across all variants

Keep size charts, packaging and lifestyle shots visible whatever the shopper picks.

Not every photo belongs to one colour. A size chart, a packaging shot, a care-instructions card or a lifestyle image should show no matter which variant a shopper selects.

That's what the **Shared across all variants** area at the bottom of the [Assign images](/swatch/assign-images/assign-images-to-option-values.md) editor is for.

## How to share an image

Leave it where it is. Any image you never drag onto a value row stays in **Shared across all variants** and is added to every variant's gallery.

If an image is already assigned to a value and you want it shared instead, drag it back down into the shared area, then click **Save**.

## What shoppers see

When a shopper changes variant:

* the variant-specific images change with the selection;
* the shared images stay visible, appearing after the variant's own images.

You can mix the two freely — a variant's gallery is its own images followed by the shared ones.

## Good candidates for sharing

* Size charts and measurement tables
* Packaging and unboxing photos
* Lifestyle or in-use photography that isn't colour-specific
* Care and washing instructions
* Brand or promotional images

## With several options

On a multi-option product, "shared" means *not assigned to any value of an option you're using*. Those images are appended to every variant's gallery after the images the options have in common. Drag order in the shared area controls the order they appear in.
