App Overview Rubik Variant Images & Swatch
What it does
Rubik Variant Images & Swatch is a Built for Shopify certified app that lets merchants assign multiple images to each product variant and display only the relevant images when a customer selects that variant. It also replaces the default variant picker with visual swatches: image swatches, color swatches, or pill buttons.
The Built for Shopify badge is awarded to apps that meet Shopify's highest standards for quality, performance, and ease of use.
The result: cleaner product pages, less customer confusion, and a faster path to purchase.
Key features
Assign any number of images, videos, or 3D models to each variant with drag-and-drop.
Image swatches, color swatches, and pill buttons. Mix types across options (e.g., images for Color, pills for Size).
Products with 2 or 3 options (e.g., Color + Size + Material) are fully supported with per-combination image assignment.
Assign videos and 3D models to specific variants, not just images. All media types display in the product gallery.
AI analyzes your product images and automatically matches them to the correct variants based on visual similarity.
Configure hundreds of products at once. Preview results before starting and process in the background.
Full swatch style customization through the visual editor or custom CSS with over 100 CSS variables.
Works with Dawn, Horizon, Prestige, Impulse, Impact, and 350+ more themes and page builders.
