Compress Images

Last updated: April 17, 2025

In Image Flow, we provide a convenient bulk image compressing feature that allows you to select multiple product images and compress them all at once with ease.

Open the Image Flow app in your Shopify store, then navigate to the left sidebar and select the "Resize/Compress Images" option.

This will take you to the Compress Images user interface:

Compress Page

Here, you can select products in two ways: either choose all products from a specific collection or manually select individual products. Let's explore both options one by one.

Select Resource Type

Selecting All Products from a Collection

Select the "Collections" option from the "Select Resource Type" step, and select the "Select Collection" button.

Collections Option

A modal will open, showing all the collections your store has.

Choosing Compression Level

After selecting the products, you need to select the desired compress level for image compression:

  • High - Retains maximum image quality
  • Mid - Balances image quality and file size, with moderate compression applied
  • Low - The image size is reduced to a minimum, resulting in compromised quality

Compress Level

After selecting the compress level, click on the "Compress Images" button to start the image compression process.

Monitoring the Compress Job

After clicking "Confirm", you'll be taken to the Background Job Info page, where you can verify the selected products once the job is complete and monitor the logs in real time.
