Shopify Images Tutorial for Speed & SEO

whenever i'm doing speed or seo,optimization work for a shopify store i,always start with checking the images,this isn't the most important thing for,speed but it is the absolute easiest,thing to fix and it's actually a very,common mistake on shopify stores to have,an image that is either way too heavy or,not saved in the right format so in this,video i'll show you the steps that you,need to take in between getting the,images from your camera or from your,photographer and actually uploading them,to your shopify store so there's only,like three steps basically first you,need to save your images in the right,image format and size next you need to,compress your images and then you just,need to add some seo information so,first i'm going to show you how to do,this manually for every image and then,i'll show you how to do this in bulk if,you have a large store with hundreds of,products and probably thousands of,images but first there is just a little,bit of theory that we need to get,through and it'll make everything much,clearer for you and much easier if you,really want to skip the theory and get,right into the image compression then,you can just use the chapters and skip,to the part about image compression so,firstly let's try to understand,what your goal should be okay your goal,is to get the image file size down to as,small as possible and what do i mean by,file size i don't mean pixels i don't,mean the dimensions of the image,although that's related but i mean the,file size in kilobytes and megabytes,that might be obvious to you but i want,to be very clear so if we really,simplify it as a general rule your,images should be no more than about 400,or 500 kilobytes at most okay and this,is for a full screen large hero image or,banner image that is the full size of,your browser and in general if you're,using jpegs you should never really have,an image that is more than a megabyte in,size if your image is over a megabyte,then you're doing something wrong and,you need to fix those images now i'll,talk about jpeg versus png just a little,bit later but the same is true for png,generally if you're using pngs for the,right purpose which is for things like,icons and logos you won't really have an,image size that is bigger than maybe a,hundred kilobytes okay so now let's talk,about image dimensions because it's,something that my clients ask me about a,lot but it's actually something that you,don't need to worry about too much it's,definitely not as important as file size,although it is related to file size but,okay to get straight to the point i'll,say that around 2000 pixels in width or,in height whatever is the most usually,in width right that's the largest that,you really need to have any image on,shopify okay 2 000 pixels and that being,said there isn't really much harm in,uploading a larger image than 2000,pixels say if it's 5000 pixels because,shopify does something called image,scaling which is where it resizes the,image to the size that needs to be

Crush.pics for Shopify Compression Settings Tutorial

in this video we're going to discuss,image compression in the crashpix for,shopify app,image compression is the process of,encoding or converting an image file in,such a way that it consumes less space,than the original file,put simply the smaller our image files,can be the quicker they will download to,the person viewing them,there are two ways that you can reduce,the size of an image,and these are using algorithms known as,lossless and lossy,lossless compression means that you,reduce the size of an image without any,quality loss,this is usually achieved by removing,unnecessary data that's things like the,date the time the camera used from the,original image file,the other way is to use lossy,compression now this refers to,compression which some of the data from,the original file is lost,lossy compression results in images,being much smaller in size than the,original,and this is the best way to achieve,considerable gains,when you want your images to download,quicker,in crushfix there are three ways that,you can reduce the file size of your,images,the first is to pick balance compression,this is our preferred option,this strikes the balance hence the name,between the quality of the image and the,size of the image by intelligently,calculating just how much lossy,compression to apply,we ensure that the new image looks as,close as possible to the original,we achieve this by running a series of,tests on each image to really really,strike that balance so that we give you,the best looking image for the best,saving,the second option is conservative this,makes use of the lossless algorithm to,preserve every pixel in that image,files will look identical but as we've,removed some of that data things like,the date the time the camera used,they'll be slightly smaller in size,finally you can pick our custom setting,this allows you to define,how much saving you want to make against,as much quality as you want the file to,be in comparison to the original,now that we've had a quick discussion on,the different settings let's look how,you can actually change those in the,crushpix for shopify admin,so now we've discussed the different,types of compression available to us,let's have a look at how we can change,those settings in the admin before i do,that there's two things i'd like to,point out,on the dashboard that are available to,you the first is the currently selected,type of compression in my case currently,it is custom and i'll show you how to,change the custom settings as well as,switch it to say balanced shortly the,other thing i'd like to point out is,this toggle switch down at the bottom,here with the word automatic next to it,if this is set to the on position all,new images added to your shopify store,will have your image compression,settings applied to them automatically,this allows you to set it once and,literally forget about it,safe in the knowledge that all of the,compression savings that you've applied,will be also applied to every new image,that yo
