Ecommerce Effects

Animated listing imagery intended to increase engagement on storefronts and marketplaces.

Ecommerce listings compete directly against near-identical static photos from other sellers, so the value of animation here is differentiation — a listing that moves stands out in a grid of ones that don't. AniFX's planned ecommerce effects are chosen with that competitive context in mind.

Because ecommerce images are viewed at small thumbnail sizes as often as full size, effects planned for this use case are being designed to still register at a glance, not just in a zoomed product view.
