Best for image compression with SEO fixes on Shopify
TinySEO, called TinyIMG until July 2026, compresses and resizes Shopify images, writes alt text, speeds up pages and adds schema, audits and IndexNow. Plans are priced by image count, extra images are billed one by one, and redirects, minification and llms.txt start at $23 a month.
Who TinySEO is for
- Fits if heavy product images are slowing your Shopify store down
- Works for merchants wanting image, speed and SEO fixes in one app
Who TinySEO is not for
- 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

Keep TinySEO, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of TinySEO you could make: schema markup. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $168 a year.
What you could make
- Schema markup: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
- It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, IndexNow and PageFly among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. TinySEO’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
