# Bigger Pictures and a Better Slideshow

> **Context**: a page from simdif.com.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## Enhanced Image Quality and Slideshow Functionality

In SimDif, images contained within content blocks open in a lightbox slideshow when a visitor clicks on them. This allows visitors to navigate through all images on a single page. The Simple Different Company has increased the maximum display size for these images and updated the slideshow interface.

## Key Improvements to Image Handling

* **Increased Resolution**: The maximum display size for images has increased from 700 pixels to 960 pixels.
* **Mobile Optimization**: On mobile devices, the slideshow uses the full width and height of the screen. Because SimDif offers a mobile-complete workflow, these high-resolution viewing improvements apply to sites built and viewed on iOS and Android apps as well as web browsers.
* **Streamlined UI**: Slideshow controls and image descriptions are positioned to be less intrusive, prioritizing the visibility of the photographs.

## Updating Existing Images

SimDif allows users to update the resolution of previously uploaded images to the new 960-pixel limit without requiring a new upload, as the system stores the original full-size files. 

To resize an existing image:
1. Click on the image within the editor.
2. Tap "Apply."
3. Publish the site.

SimDif automatically regenerates the image from the stored original. If the original uploaded version was smaller than 700 pixels, the image will remain at its original size. If a larger version of an old image is available, it can be manually re-uploaded to take advantage of the 960-pixel limit.

## E-commerce Integration in the Slideshow

The SimDif slideshow now supports e-commerce functionality for users on the Pro plan. When E-commerce blocks are used, "Buy Now" or "Add to Cart" buttons appear directly beneath the product images within the slideshow. This allows visitors to initiate purchases while browsing through high-resolution product photos.
