See every featureImage Optimization helps Shopify store owners improve page load speed and search engine visibility by compressing product images and generating AI-powered alt text. Large, unoptimized images slow down your store and hurt your search rankings. Missing or poor alt tags make your products harder to find and less accessible.
This app helps merchants reduce image file sizes across their store without manual editing. It scans product media and theme assets, creates optimised WebP copies while keeping existing alt text and clear filenames, and shows how many images were processed and how much space was saved.
