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.

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

No sure what is going on with the app. Hasn't worked for the past couple of days (just keeps bringing up a grey screen - refreshing will bring up the dashboard but starting a scan never results in any progress). Tried to contact support but the Oberlo team intercom icon now comes up at the bottom right corner. Gonna try switching to another app.

Don't waste your money. Did nothing for my site. All I did was spend $$$. No difference at all as far as optimization.

Not worth the cost. They do not tell you the potential for your website before they charge you. They promise up to 70% reduction on images with a lossy compression which I choose, but what I got was an average of 11%. Looking at googles page speed insights they don't even compress it to their recommended sizes, but they charge you the full amount before telling you what you actually get.. very poor app...

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
