How to resize pictures from list page on Magento 2

Question

I tried to set the product pictures from category page to 800x800 px and i can't.

Be default the picutres size is 270x270 px; I changed in view.xml the values for this fields into 800x800 px but nothing happend.

<image id="category_page_grid" type="small_image">
                <width>800</width>
                <height>800</height>
            </image>
            <image id="category_page_list" type="small_image">
                <width>800</width>
                <height>800</height>
            </image>

Does anyone know how can i do this?

Answer 1

After make change in size value . you need to run below command

php bin/magento catalog:images:resize

This will regenerate the new image sizes. you can take as reference this answer.

In case of changing/overwriting the values of the view.xml file you need to completely copy the entire view.xml file to your custom theme and change the values.

view.xml does not have a node value fallback system, means if a value of a node is not present in you custom theme's view.xml it will not fallback to its parent theme's view.xml value, that's why entire file needs to be copied.
