Doesn't work with our image. We wanted to make sure the compression algorithm for lossless was powerful enough (30% announced sounds quite low in comparison to tools like TinyPng), so we ran a trial on one specific product. We optimized all images, lossless at first, then a few with lossy compression. The app says xx% compression, but Google Page Speed says nothing changed. Ok, we downloaded the so said "compressed" images, from Shopify (changing the ?variable to make sure we have the latest version)... Nothing changed. So, let's try to download the preview image displayed on screen that is supposed to show a comparison between the old and the new image. Surprise... Same image, same size. The comparison tool is very fancy, but both images are not on the same layer, the second image has a small offset of a few pixels, so it gives the impression the image is not identical, but it is. Again, it might just be a bug, but the fact the tool says the image was compressed by "xx%", and that the comparison tool second image is offset a bit is not reassuring. Edit: I'm suspending my judgment temporarily. We've been in touch with the developers and it looks like our image are already too optimized for their app to have any significant effect on one hand, and that Shopify is messing up with optimized images (increasing their size) on its end. For now, my first conclusion is that this app is pointless for those who know how to save their images (photoshop, gimp, or recompressed with online tools like TinyPNG) because Shopify already has its own algorithm. Since Shopify algorythm increase the size of overoptimized images, negating the benefit of this app, it sounds pointless. See here about image compression issues with Shopify: https://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/ecommerce-discussion/t/shopify-image-quality-optimization-round-2-with-stats-38-improvement-304813 We're in touch with the developpers, if something come up, I'll update my review; Until then: I do not recommend the app to merchants already saving their images for internet use with proper comrpession.

Yeah, it made my site slower. I condensed the images thinking it was going to speed up my site a bit, but that didn't happen
Hi there, We're sorry that you didn't enjoy our app! Our app is designed with a few fail-safes and one is that your images will never be updated to be larger than it used to be. This is to ensure that even if compression doesn't save much on an image, it will at least stay the same as it was before. Site speed tests vary day-to-day based on a lot of different factors, so it's possible that you encountered this. Regardless, if you have any questions or concerns, you can always email us directly at [email protected] -Dom, Co-Founder

Outstanding app - the automated Alt Tag batching is epic. The thought of re-photoshopping all our store images gave me nightmares, making Crush.pics a dream come true.

Cut total image size nearly in half (48%) with minimal quality reduction and minimal effort. There is no reason not to get this app.

Page speed is very important to us with both SEO and PPC factoring it into the equation. If we have a slow site we suffer. Crush.pics helps to solve this for us without having to ever worry about our images. Just set and forget.
