Compress Photos
Manually upload and compress images with customizable quality settings, format conversion, and AI-powered renaming
What is Compress Photos?
Compress Photos is a manual upload tool for optimizing images outside your product gallery. Perfect for compressing home page banners, theme images, headers, and other files stored in Shopify's Admin > Content > Files section that aren't automatically processed by product photo tools.
Upload images via button click or drag-and-drop, then customize compression quality (default 70%), max dimensions, file format (WebP recommended), and optionally rename with Vision AI. The tool handles multiple photos at once with full control over optimization parameters.
