Crush.pics review
A Shopify-focused optimizer with automated workflows, compression presets, and monthly usage tiers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Crush.pics is an image-compression app that runs inside the Shopify admin, aimed at stores that want to optimize product and other store images automatically or in batches. It can process new and existing images across products, collections, blog posts, pages, and Shopify Files. Its presets range from Conservative lossless compression to Balanced lossy compression, with a Custom option for more control. Shopify stores seeking a media workflow integrated with their catalog may find this focus useful; teams needing a platform-neutral image tool should look elsewhere.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, the Free plan provides compression only and a one-time 25 MB quota. Paid plans bill monthly: Micro is $4.99 for 500 MB and 100 images per hour; Pro is $9.99 for 2 GB and 200 images per hour; Advanced is $19.99 for 5 GB and 500 images per hour. Premium costs $39.99 for 15 GB and 1,000 images per hour, Plus is $79.99 for 50 GB and 2,000 images per hour, and Enterprise is $149.99 for 100 GB and 5,000 images per hour. Quotas reset monthly, and unused data does not carry over, so stores should match a plan to their image volume and processing pace.
The workflow extends beyond compression: manual multi-image queuing, filename renaming from product and variant fields, and alt-text generation from product data help handle catalog media tasks. Activity logs show compression statistics, while original images can be restored from 30-day backups. Supported formats include AVIF, WebP, JPEG/JPG, PNG, and static GIF. Shopify is the listed integration; support channels include email, chat, and documentation. Crush.pics makes the most sense for Shopify teams that value automated catalog processing and restoration. A store seeking broad cross-platform deployment or a continuing free allowance may prefer another option.
