See every featurePixelTrim helps you run a smooth store without sacrificing image quality. It compresses your product images and converts them to modern WebP format, reducing the large file sizes that slow down pages. You can optimize images in bulk or one product at a time, while keeping the original quality. PixelTrim also writes clear, descriptive alt text for your images using AI, improving accessibility and search visibility.
Product images often go live with blank alt text, generic filenames, and heavy JPEG files. That makes them harder to find in image search and slows your store. Pixly uses AI to read each photo, propose alt text and descriptive filenames, turn to WebP, and crop to a consistent square. You review every suggestion and approve in bulk, then sync approved images back to your catalog.
- Automatic image compression and WebP conversion while preserving quality
- Bulk optimize all product images or fine-tune them one product at a time
- AI-generated alt text for images to support SEO and accessibility
- AI writes alt text and filenames based on what is actually in each photo.
- Review and approve every image before anything goes live in your store
- Auto-Pilot queues new product images for optimization as you add them.
- Store Audit scans your catalog for missing alt text and heavy image files.
