Magento: Change default product image with PNG

Question

In order to replace default product image in Magento, we have to replace images in this folder:

skin\frontend\mytheme\default\images\catalog\product\placeholder

There are 3 files:

• image.jpg
• small_image.jpg
• thumbnail.jpg

I need to replace those files with PNG. Where is the code that I can change the .jpg part?

Answer 1

In the admin, under System > Configuration > Catalog > Product Image Placeholders, you can upload any file you want.
