Merchants describe this as a reliable, “set and forget” image optimizer that noticeably boosts site speed and Lighthouse/PageSpeed scores. They report large file size reductions with no visible quality loss, even on big catalogs. The app’s automatic compression, backups, and SEO tools for renaming images and ALT text are highly valued. Merchants also praise flexible pricing, strong long-term performance, and fast, professional support.

App did not work. for me at all. When I attempted to compress my photos it would keep saying retry and would never compress the images. I tried the automatic compression and it still wouldn't work. Waist of time and money. Also, it will only compress product images, not blog post images.
I chose this app to help me with seo. without knowing too much about how alt text, file names and image compressing works beforehand, i found their tutorials very helpful and educational. it took a while to convert all of my files (958 total images) but the process was very easy and understandable. i feel confident now that my seo is in good hands moving forward.
Great app to compress images, sort file names and get your alt text sorted in your images...big SEO winner
This app has a great interface but unfortunately it randomly corrupted a scattering of images right across our site, including some collection images - this took a long time to sort out as there were over 1400 pictures to check.
Update: Developer working with us on issue - great support.
*Brilliant customer service - Fast response time.
*A fraction of the price compared to the pay per images compression apps
*Crushes not only your product photos but your site ones too :)
*Plus I boosted my SEO with images names/alt tags
2200+ photos Crushed in 1 1/2hrs. I opted for Micro Plan - Loosy – Manuel – then switch over to Batch after I saw absolutely no loss in my product image quality – click – sat back and watched. (Careful this can be mesmerizing).

Beyond frustrated with this app after at least a full year of using it. When it runs it does run faithfully but it doesn't do very much and doesn't run a good portion of the time. First, it barely compresses the photos... as in you'll get maybe 4%. Never notified when the app has an update and needs to be installed. Earlier this year, for an unknown period of time, the app was not even running even though it was installed on my site and I was paying for it. App requires that your browser accept all cookies and cross-site tracking. If your settings are the least bit off and you try to go to the app dashboard, it will just get stuck in a loop of redirecting to different pages on their server and the only way out of the never-ending loop is to close the browser and relaunch and go back to your Shopify admin. After re-enabling all cookies and tracking again today, I was able to get the screen to load and got another error... A new 12.1 update of my browser just came out only 2 days ago and Crush.pics is suddenly no longer compatible with 12.0. Literally over the past weekend, not compatible. I don't have any more time to waste with this app.
Wow! Took days to "compress" and didn't do a thing. I thought maybe there was some issue, so I wrote support. They are nothing but smoke and mirrors and why their product doesn't work with a bunch of BS that if I wasn't in SEO, I would probably have fallen for. Beware! They try to sell other people's services that I would really run from, based on how snake-like their Customer Service was. I understand site speed and I know my tools. I am working on all aspects of the site's speed and can certainly tell when the images are fixed. I know there are parts that I cannot control and don't need to be told that, when asking why the images are not compressed.
Hi there,
We are very sorry to hear that you experienced problems with our app. We value this type of feedback and take it very seriously.
After thoroughly investigating the problem, we found that the cause was related to incorrect image dimensions in the templates of your theme. We have advised you via email that this can be easily corrected by changing a liquid tag in your templates but have yet to hear back.
We also checked your Shopify store with the Google PageSpeed Tool and confirmed that all your images are compressed as expected.
We take pride in providing efficient and friendly customer service. We are sorry that you didn’t give us the opportunity to help you further by email.
If you'd like to pick up the conversation you can always reach us through our support email, support@spacesquirrel.co

A nice and affordable tool that puts product image SEO on automation. Rename your product image > check! Adds product image ALT text > check! Compress your product image to optimize speed > check! It does not resize images, but it pretty much handles everything else. An easy 5-star review from us!
If multiple language versions of the online store have been published, this may not be very handy, as Hungarian ALT texts are of little help for a Dutch site.
Otherwise, quite excellent.
Best image optimizer for Shopify. Not only does the app work great, but the support is also fantastic. Very reliable team.
