# How to Add Image Text Split to the Refresh Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/refresh/add-image-text-split/ — Section Shop, 56 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

Classic 50/50 split layout with image on one side and text content on the other. Features reversible image position, feature list with checkmarks, customizable CTA button, and smooth responsive behavior. This guide shows how to add the Image Text Split section to the Refresh theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Refresh's code. Refresh is a free theme by Shopify, known for editorial layouts and generous whitespace — and image with text like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Image Text Split fits Refresh

Story-telling layouts pairing visuals with copy — splits, overlays, zigzags and card grids for brand and product stories. For Refresh specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: wants richer image-with-text storytelling blocks, and Image Text Split fills that gap while inheriting Refresh's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Refresh loves long pages: alternate Image with Text sections with feature grids to build a scrolling brand story without a page builder.

## Steps

1. **Install Section Shop (free)** — Add the app from the Shopify App Store. It's free, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and changes nothing in your Refresh setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Image Text Split” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Image with Text category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Refresh theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Refresh uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Refresh theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Image Text Split” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Refresh font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Image Text Split work with the Refresh theme?

Yes. Refresh is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Image Text Split installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Refresh's theme editor as “SShop:Image Text Split”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Image Text Split match Refresh's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Refresh's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

### Is Image Text Split free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Image Text Split is free, like every section in the 56-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Refresh theme and keeps working.
