I paid $18.21 for my product photos to be optimized and they're ruined now. Pictures are very blurry, pixeled and discolored, and there is NO reversal. These are hundreds of photos. I have to delete the photos from 80% of my listings and reupload the photos because they are so bad. Time and money wasted.
Hello Alexis Daoud Jewelry, We're truly sorry that you've met some difficulties while using the app. Please, let me inform you that the app provides a 30-day free backup image storage, during which images can be reverted. I wish you had addressed to us earlier so that we could assist you with it. Rest assure that we've contacted Shopify and initiated full refund for you. It should reach you within these few days. I hope that we can resolve this issue with mutual understanding. Best regards, Minifier SEO Image Optimizer team

Pathetic app. There is literally no change in stores speed. Don't waste your money. I have already asked for refund, but no response from the developer.

Took 4USD but did not do anything. Just got the message after payment there is no image for optimization.
Thanks for your feedback. We're not seeing any optimization errors from our end and it seems as optimization is waiting to be completed. Please check if you can can follow the 2 steps I've sent you by email and finish optimizing your images.

If I could give this app zero stars I would. Customer service Zero!!! Got this app to try over all of my file names, not possible. All this does is barely compress files. Piece of junk, don't bother.
Hi Justin! System shows that you didn't select an option to optimize file names when using auto-optimization maybe that's why Minifier didn't touch them. Anyway, I emailed you on how we can fix that, just let me know if I can proceed and we'll get the problem solved in no time!

Ruined my product images by rendering them incredibly blurry, when I selected the lossless option. No revert option. Wonderful!
Hi FitCorset! I'm sorry for the trouble :/ I'd love to investigate it deeper because such issue has never happened in the past. There is also no function in the code that would make images to blur. In fact, Minifier's algorithm is very strict and never sacrifices quality. If you could add Minifier back to your store we could have a deeper look and figure out what happened. I emailed you and looking forward to have a chat!

App is not worth for a single buck. I installed hoping that it will help reducing the size of my store product's images. It showed that it can reduce by 50% after analyzing my store. It charged me money and did nothing. My store loading pace is still 18 on google page speed insight and it is still suggesting me to reduce image size and its format from png to jpg. I asked for money back but till now no response since last 24 hours.
Hi Extra Turtle! We replied you yesterday and confirmed that we can refund. The refund is actually already being processed. Did our reply reached your inbox? Regarding the page load - please, understand that there are many factors which affect Google page load speed and such as server connectivity is one of them. We ran Google tool on your website 5 times in a row and got 3 different result, from 28 to 34. This behaviour is common but we can confirm with complete guarantee that compressed images will make your website load faster. Looking forward for your reply. Thanks, Extra Turtle.

I was 33% on google pagespeed. After using it, 32%. And it is NOT free. You pay for the count of images "minified"

Completely destroyed my vector images. The review image looked perfect but the final upload was an absolute disgrace. User Beware!

Doesn't show you the images before you pay. Doesn't group theme images with product images, so asks you to pay twice. I paid 50c for my theme images because I wanted to optimize homepage. Instead it showed me 3 utterly useless images. Don't install

I was charged with photos that saved me 0% in size! Not very honest tbh. Don't really like the email notification spam!

Pretty disappointed. Thought this would optimize my homepage but only did the product photos. Charged per photo but many of them only had <10% or even 0% improvement after optimization. Waste of time and money

I tested my load time after I used this application and it was exactly the same--using https://testmysite.thinkwithgoogle.com/. I did not get the value I thought I would for what I paid.

this app compressed all our images but distorted them in the process. now we have to upload all our images again and replace the ones this app distorted. i would NOT recommend this app. very annoyed.

Shit app. Can't see what is being 'optimised' until after you pay. My optimisation ended up being about 50 images that could save 1-5kb... Dev also doesn't respond...

App not as described. Does not achieve 30% reduction of photos. In my case, an average of less than 12% reduction, which I found out only after paying. Tech support very slow to respond (days and days). They offered to refund my payment b/c I felt they drastically misrepresented their product, but never heard back. Would not recommend at all.

I attempted to contact Support at Minifier before posting this, but after waiting over a week without any response, I'm going ahead with this review. Minifier touted its features well and even when processing our images for our Shopify store it appeared to be doing all it promoted. However, we ran a Google Page Speed test immediately before and after and Google still recommends image optimization. We saw a 1 point improvement in our Google scores, even though Minifier reported up to 80% savings in file sizes. I just don't see any value in this product. We'll try something else.

I used your product for my website https://dresslikemommy-com.myshopify.com and after checking on google speed test I notice no difference. I want my money back. This does not work! I was supposed to have optimized all the images from my website. Well that is not what google says!!!! Go here an check by yourself: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ put my website: www.dresslikemommy.com It does not work. I want my money back!

WARNING: Running Minifier will break your images on Internet Explorer. There are some image formats that don't work correctly in IE. Just do a google search and you will see 100's of results about this. Here is one such article on Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1204288/jpeg-shows-in-firefox-but-not-ie8 We are having to go back now and manually update all our images so our site works again in IE. Total pain in the $&@

This app removed all 725 images from my product catalog and broke my site. I guess I won't be using this app again. No troubleshooting for the app, bad idea. Be very careful
