# Switch Product Images Upon Option Selection (Beta)
*(**Linking Custom Product Options with Product Images**)*
The Image Switcher feature enables you to connect your custom product options to specific product images. When customers select an option on your Shopify product pages, the product image will automatically update to reflect their choice.
{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is available on **Free plan**.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is applicable for the following option types: [Dropdown](/easify-product-options/guide-to-options/28-option-types/dropdown.md), [Radio Button](/easify-product-options/guide-to-options/28-option-types/radio-buttons.md), [Button](/easify-product-options/guide-to-options/28-option-types/buttons.md), [Checkbox](/easify-product-options/guide-to-options/28-option-types/checkbox.md), [Color Swatch](/easify-product-options/guide-to-options/28-option-types/color-swatches.md), and [Image Swatch](/easify-product-options/guide-to-options/28-option-types/image-swatches.md).
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
Images only change on the product page — not in the cart or checkout. Selecting an option switches the image shown; it doesn't select a different variant.
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Black Glasses" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Red Glasses" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="White Glasses" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Add Option Values
In the **Basic settings** tab, enter all the necessary information for your options as you normally would.
The Option value labels you create for the option values will be used in later steps.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Enable Image Mapping
After adding your option values, switch to the **Advanced settings** tab.
Find the checkbox labeled **Change product image on option selection** and select it.
{% hint style="info" %}
This checkbox is not selected by default, so be sure to check it to enable the image mapping feature.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Upload Product Images
Upload the product images that correspond to your custom options on the Shopify product editing page.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Set Alt Tags for Images
After uploading your images, click on each one to add **Alt text**.
The **Alt text** for each image must match the **Label** of the corresponding option value you created earlier.
This ensures that when customers select an option, the product image switches accordingly.
For example, if your option values are labeled "Pink", "Blue", and "Purple", assign the Alt texts to the images as "Pink", "Blue", and "Purple" respectively.
After entering the Alt text, remember to click **Save** to save your settings.
{% hint style="info" %}
The option value labels must match the Alt text exactly, including capitalization.
Any discrepancies will prevent the image-switching function from working properly.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Verify Image Changes
After completing the steps above, visit the product page to ensure that the product images change correctly based on the selected options.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
