Question 1

What does Image Optimizer Pro do?

Accepted Answer

Image Optimizer Pro scans Shopify store images, helps merchants process them in bulk, compresses file sizes and generates AI alt text in supported languages.

Question 2

Shopify already lets me generate AI alt text. What's the difference?

Accepted Answer

Shopify's built-in tool works one image at a time: open the image, trigger the suggestion, read it, approve it, save it, then move to the next one. That's fine for a handful of products, but it turns into hours of repetitive clicking once you're running a real commercial catalog. Image Optimizer Pro generates alt text for your entire batch in a single pass, so you just read through and approve, and you can set a compression target for the same batch at the same time. Accessibility, SEO, AI-search visibility and page speed all get handled together in one quick workflow, saving hours of manual work for a low monthly cost.

Question 3

How does the free plan work?

Accepted Answer

The free plan includes up to 15 images per month and up to 15 AI alt text requests. Merchants can upgrade or purchase a top-up when they need more capacity.

Question 4

Will compression reduce image quality?

Accepted Answer

The app is designed to reduce unnecessary file weight while preserving strong storefront image quality. Actual results vary depending on image type, dimensions and original compression.

Question 5

Can I review alt text before it is published?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Merchants can preview, edit, regenerate or approve AI-generated alt text before applying it to Shopify.

Question 6

Which languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

At launch, planned language support includes English, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Hindi, including appropriate options for Canada and India.

Question 7

Does alt text guarantee better Google rankings?

Accepted Answer

No single change can guarantee rankings. Accurate alt text improves accessibility and helps search engines understand image content, making it an important part of a broader SEO strategy.

Question 8

Does alt text help with AI search tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as one part of the picture. Most AI answer engines read the text on a page rather than the images themselves, so alt text is often the only place details like colour, material or style exist as text at all. It won't guarantee a citation, but accurate alt text gives AI systems, and traditional search engines, real, extractable information about your products. This is sometimes called AEO (answer engine optimization), and it works alongside standard SEO, not instead of it.

Question 9

Can I optimize my entire store at once?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans are designed for bulk processing. Monthly limits depend on the selected plan, and merchants can buy top-up credits when they need extra capacity.

Question 10

What happens when I reach my monthly limit?

Accepted Answer

The app pauses additional paid actions and offers two options: upgrade the subscription or purchase a one-time top-up pack.

Question 11

Do unused credits roll over?

Accepted Answer

Monthly allowances reset each billing period and do not roll over. Purchased top-up credits remain available until used.

Question 12

Can I restore an original image?

Accepted Answer

Original image recovery depends on your Shopify plan and the specific implementation. Where supported, the app maintains a reference to the original. Check the in-app documentation for your store's recovery options.

Question 13

Does the app alter my Shopify theme?

Accepted Answer

Standard image and alt text optimization does not require theme edits. The app works with your existing Shopify setup.

Question 14

Is the app compatible with Shopify Markets?

Accepted Answer

The app can generate alt text in multiple languages. Full per-market publishing behavior depends on your Shopify data model and localization workflow.

Question 15

How is my store data handled?

Accepted Answer

Image data is processed on secure servers to generate alt text and apply compression. Temporary files are not retained beyond the processing window. All credentials are encrypted at rest. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
