Compress Images for Shopify
Shrink product photos 60–90% so your Shopify store loads faster and converts better — without visible quality loss. Free, in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Why image weight matters on Shopify
Product pages with large, uncompressed images load slowly — especially on mobile, where most shoppers browse. Slow pages raise bounce rates and hurt both conversion and search ranking. Compressing your images is the single easiest speed win for a Shopify store, and it doesn't require any theme or app changes.
Best settings for Shopify product images
- Format: WebP for the smallest size, or JPG if you prefer maximum compatibility.
- Max dimensions: around 2000px on the longest side — Shopify rarely shows product images larger than that.
- Quality: 75 is a strong balance; most photos shrink dramatically with no visible difference.
How to compress images for Shopify
- Open the image compressor.
- Drop in a product photo.
- Set quality to ~75, output to WebP, and max size to 2000px.
- Click Compress, check the size saved, and download.
