Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCreates a WebP version of each image in your Shopify Files, file by file. Each image gets a new .webp file next to the original, and the app moves the product gallery, variant images and images inside product descriptions, pages, blog articles and collection descriptions onto it. The original is never deleted, so feeds, other apps and old links keep working.
PixelLean converts product images to WebP to reduce image file sizes. Set a target size, minimum quality and maximum dimensions, then process images in the background. Original files remain available for restore, and converted images keep their original basename with a .webp extension. Track optimization progress and review images that need attention from one dashboard.
