Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureManaging product photos can become slow and repetitive when every product has to be opened and updated separately. This app shows multiple products and their images together on one page, so you can review photos across your store, upload or replace images, remove outdated ones, and drag them into the right order without moving between product pages.
Updating product images across your catalog means opening each product and replacing images one by one. VisualFlow solves this. Upload new images or select them from your Shopify Files library. The app uses AI to read packaging text, compare product photos, and match each image to the correct product automatically. Review matches, adjust if needed, and apply all changes at once.
- Two image modes: Manage images online or export to Excel for bulk updates.
- Image sources: Support links, ZIPs, Google Drive, or Dropbox in Excel mode.
- Image optimization: Automatically compress and resize images before uploading.
- Restore images: Recover deleted original images within 7 days.
- AI matches uploaded images to products by reading text and comparing visuals
- Swap up to 100 product images at once in a single batch
- Automatic backup before every swap — one-click restore
- Schedule image swaps for launches or seasonal campaigns
