What changed, and when. Newest first.
1.0
August 2026Pending App Store reviewFirst public release. It does one thing:
- Bulk compression in place for JPEG, PNG and WebP — product images and Files library images — keeping the media ID and the CDN URL, with Lossless, Balanced and Aggressive presets.
- Catalogue scan that reads sizes without downloading or changing anything, and preview that compresses five of your own photos in memory so the saving you see is yours.
- Optional downscaling that caps the longest edge and only ever shrinks.
- 30-day backups with checksum-verified restore — one image, one run, or the whole catalogue, back at the same URL.
- Automatic mode for images arriving on new and updated products, with loop protection so the app never re-processes its own writes.
- Skip guard — anything that would not get at least 2% smaller is left alone and never counted against your allowance.
Pre-release
31 July 2026- Permissions cut to three — read products, read files, write files. The permissions requested for planned SEO features were removed: an app should not hold access it does not use.
- Storefront proxy removed. It was declared but nothing answered it, so it served 404s from the merchant's own domain.
- Data deletion now covers everything the app writes — every table and the stored backup files — when Shopify asks for a shop to be erased. Uninstalling no longer deletes anything, so an accidental uninstall does not cost you your 30-day restore window.
Pre-release
29 July 2026- Paid plans now grant their own allowance — 1,500 / 5,000 / 15,000 per cycle. Previously every plan was served the free allowance of 50, so paying changed nothing.
- Plan changes take effect immediately, read live from Shopify each time the app is opened rather than from a stale copy.
- Reworked Home, Optimize, Images, Activity and Backups screens.
Pre-release
28 July 2026- First end-to-end run on a live store: scan → preview → optimize → in-place write → backup → restore.
