Image Optimizer for Shopify | Edit, retouch and optimize your product images

Product images on an online Shopify store provide an instant connection to the buyer. In an online store, the buyers do not have the luxury to touch, feel and experience a product. Images are the only way your customers know what they are buying. Thus, having images optimized is a key part of making a sale. We process visual information much faster than textual information, thus well-composed product images encourage the customers to make a faster buy. If your product images are too small or composed, you risk losing customers who might not come back to your site to buy because they can’t see what your product looks like. Furthermore, product imagery helps the customers to better visualize how the product will look in their own homes, making the buying decision even easier. Additionally, they help customers to better understand the product’s features. By displaying your product in a way that helps customers to visualize its use, you can increase the likelihood that they’ll click “Add to Cart”. To get the most out of your product images, you should consider a few key factors. You’ll want to make sure that they are relevant to the customers and high-quality. Poor-quality images will only serve to turn away your customers. Also, very large images can make your page loading very slow, which is a deterrent for website visitors and search rankings.

Image optimization helps to bring in a good balance between good quality images and a faster website. It makes product images on your website look both interesting and light. Lighter websites bring in higher search rankings and more customers. Image optimization is the process of delivering high-quality images in the right format, dimension, size, and resolution while keeping the best possible size.

Optimizing images usually involves focusing on elements such as image type, size, ALT text, file format, and image description keywords. There are many methods for optimizing images, including using the correct image size, optimizing them for social media, viewing them on a cell phone, creating an image sitemap, and adding structured data.

What are the unique features of the ShopJets Image Optimizer ?

What is that sets the ShopJets Image Optimizer from its competitors in the market. We now elaborate on what differentiates the all-in-one Image Optimizer from the rest of the applications on Shopify. The all-in-one Image Optimizer is known to produce high quality images using AI-based algorithms at a cost which is competitive and nominal when compared to the competitors on the market.

Background removal

When you sell products on the website, you need high-quality images to boost your conversion rate and sales. But if your product photos are cluttered or have distracting backgrounds, shoppers will be less likely to buy from you. Image backgrounds can be distracting or even messy, which may give the impression that your product isn’t high-quality. If you want to improve your image quality and make your photos more professional, then you need to remove the backgrounds. Background removal makes images more attractive and easier to use in marketing materials. It is a great way to showcase products without an obstructed view. There are many different ways to remove backgrounds from images. The best way to do this depends on the photo and the image that you want to keep in focus.

The all-in-one Image Optimizer application performs automatic background removal using artificial intelligence. The application uses neural network architecture to train the models. The model is trained for the retail product images. Exhaustive training with the retail images renders high accuracy and quality for the processed image. The AI-based technique employed in all-in-one Image Optimizer renders an accurate removal of the background. Often, other applications tend to ignore loose items hanging from the products like belt. Let us illustrate the feature along with an example

Most applications in the Shopify market remove the loose hanging items from the main image along with the background. It makes the product look incomplete. Customer will not get a full product picture, thereby causing them to abandon. The all-in-one Optimizer performs an accurate removal of just the background. Apart from the accuracy, this optimizer stands out by offering a competitive price as well. While the other competitor applications in Shopify offer roughly 35 cents per edit, the all-in-one Image Optimizer offers the same for 16 cents per edit. When considering these factors, the Shopify owners will likely find our application to be the best option for background removal.

Upscale feature

The all-in-one Image Optimizer for Shopify uses neural network AI-based upscaling techniques making the enhanced visuals look more crisp and realistic. When upscaling images, the objective is to improve the visual quality at higher resolutions. Most applications use an interpolation method to upscale an image. In contrast, AI upscaling begins with a low-resolution picture and predicts an image that would be downscaled to match the appearance of the initial low-resolution photo. The upscaled photos must be trained on many photographs to achieve accurate prediction. The deployed AI technology can then take low-resolution footage and produce high-quality sharpness and enhanced details that no traditional scaler can match. We offer this feature at the rate of 16 cents per edit as compared to other applications that charge twice as much.

Image enhancement

To ensure your product images resonate with customers and drive sales, you need to make sure they are optimized for the best possible user experience. Poorly-lit, poorly-framed, or unedited product images can negatively impact sales. Image enhancement is a process of enhancing (or improving) the image for better analysis. It may be removing noise or improving the contrast, enhancing the intensity, etc. One can find many Shopify tools for image enhancement. The all-in-one Image Optimizers offer image enhancement as part of the package. The application offers batch processing as well. If the images are clicked in the same lighting and setup, then image enhancement can be performed together as a batch thereby saving time and energy.
