FirstFrame PixelPrep for ShopifyEvery product photo, the same size.
PixelPrep puts each product photo on one canvas size you choose, such as 1200 × 1200. The product is scaled up or down to fill it, centred, and never stretched or squashed. Photos also come out smaller, so pages load faster.
Free for your first 50 images. Standard US$4.99, Pro US$9.99 a month, billed by Shopify.
- Any canvas size, never distorted
- Works inside Shopify, no downloads
- Nothing is ever cut off
What it does to each photo.
The same steps Inlinex uses for its own catalogue, done for you on every selected product.
- One canvas size
Pick a size from 800 × 800 to 2048 × 2048, or your own. Every photo of the selected products comes out exactly that size, so your product grid lines up.
- Filled, never stretched
Empty white space around the product is trimmed, then the product is scaled to fill the canvas. Its shape is kept exactly: a tall boot stays tall, a wide board stays wide.
- Your choice of padding
The fill slider sets how much of the canvas the product covers, from 50% to 100%, so every product sits with the same margin.
- White or transparent backgrounds
PixelPrep is made for product photos on a white or transparent background: near-white becomes pure white, and transparent PNGs are placed on white. Photos with a coloured or busy background are resized whole instead: fitted inside the canvas as they are, not trimmed or filled, and the app shows you which ones.
- As small as it can be
Each photo is saved at the lowest quality that still looks identical to the full-quality version, worked out photo by photo, with camera data removed. That is about 30% smaller than a standard high-quality save.
- Safe replacement
The new photo is added before the old one is removed, and it keeps the old photo's description (alt text), so a failed upload never leaves a product without its photo.

Questions
When can I install it?
PixelPrep has been submitted to the Shopify App Store and is waiting for Shopify's review. Once it's approved, the install button will be on this page.
Will it stretch or crop my products?
No. It only trims the empty white border, then scales the product evenly in both directions until it fills the canvas you chose. Nothing of the product is cut off, and its proportions never change.
Which photos does it work best with?
Product photos on a white or transparent background, in JPEG, PNG or WebP. Trimming and filling the canvas work on those. Photos on a coloured backdrop and lifestyle shots are still resized to your canvas size, but whole: nothing is trimmed or cut off, and there may be white space where the shapes differ. The app's 'Won't fill the canvas' tab lists them.
Does it change my photos for good?
Yes: the resized photo replaces the original on the product. Try it on one product first. If you want to keep the originals, download them from Shopify before you resize.
What does auto-resize do?
On the Pro plan, new products and newly added photos are resized to your default settings automatically. Photos that are already the right size are skipped. It's off until you switch it on in Settings.
Will it slow my store down?
No. PixelPrep adds nothing to your theme or your pages. It works in your Shopify admin, and the smaller photos it saves usually make pages load faster.
