Which one is for you

Pick SEO Image Optimizer Wizard if

  • Fits if you run a new Shopify store and want a free list of SEO and speed fixes
  • Works for stores whose large product photos slow their pages down

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it installs only from the Shopify App Store
  • Watch out: the listing doesn't say whether original images are kept or can be restored after compression
  • Watch out: the audit's marketing advice covers ad campaigns StoreYa offers to run for you as a separate service
  • Too light for editing meta tags, schema or redirects, which the listing doesn't describe

Pick TinySEO if

  • Fits if heavy product images are slowing your Shopify store down
  • Works for merchants wanting image, speed and SEO fixes in one app

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you stay free, as it stops at 50 images and 10 AI credits a month
  • Pricey if you go past your allowance, as extra images are billed one by one
  • Watch out: redirects, minification, IndexNow and llms.txt start at Advanced, $23, and Search Console insights at Expert, $49
  • Watch out: it was renamed from TinyIMG in July 2026, and the Shopify listing is now Tiny SEO Speed Image Optimizer
  • Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it runs nowhere else

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
