Magento2. Product getImage returns Thumbnail instead of base

Question

I have a custom block, which extends from \Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View\AbstractView. Within this block I would like to retrieve the base image. I've tried in this way

$this->getImage($this->getProduct(), 'product_page_image_small');

but what I get is the thumbnail instead of the base image. Should I extend from some other class?

Answer 1

If you change your argument to 'product_page_main_image' it should give you main image.

$this->getImage($this->getProduct(), 'product_page_main_image');

Answer 2

You have to change your argument in your phtml file,

1. product_page_image_medium
2. product_page_main_image

Above both argument gives you main image of product and using above argument your image should display like,

<width>700</width>
<height>560</height>

e.g.

$this->getImage($this->getProduct(), 'product_page_image_medium');

or

$this->getImage($this->getProduct(), 'product_page_main_image');

When you had used product_page_image_small its return only 88x110 size image.

You can more check size dimension from vendor/magento/theme-frontend-luma/etc/view.xml file for size dimension.
