      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello all. Recently I uploaded the &lt;a href="https://github.com/topmiamisoftware/shopify-seo-image-ai-optimizer" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Shopify SEO Product Images AI Image Optimizer&lt;/a&gt; - I have been working on to a &lt;a href="https://community.shopify.com/t/free-bash-shopify-product-media-seo-ai-image-optimizerfree-bash-product-image-optimizer" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Shopify Topic.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've been getting a lot of feedback and one very true feedback I received is the fact that there are already apps that can do this. - So I decided to give the Avada SEO Shopify plugin a try to see if it could do the same which I have achieved with &lt;a href="https://github.com/topmiamisoftware/shopify-seo-image-ai-optimizer" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Shopify SEO Product Images AI Image Optimizer&lt;/a&gt; so far.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's the &lt;a href="https://apps.shopify.com/avada-seo-suite" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Avada SEO Shopify Plugin&lt;/a&gt; Review of the free version, only used to accomplish the same things which I've achieved with the other script. Note that although I've only used the free version, not a lot changes, just reverts and optimization limits really.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://seo.topmiamisoftware.com/shopify-plugin-review-avada-seo-optimizer-free-version-images/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://seo.topmiamisoftware.com/shopify-plugin-review-avada-seo-optimizer-free-version-images/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's how to use the &lt;a href="https://seo.topmiamisoftware.com/shopify-product-media-seo-ai-image-optimizer/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Shopify Product Media SEO AI image optimizer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I knew there were apps that accomplished a version of this already, however the reason why I wrote this script was because I did not find anything that fit my use case specifically at the time (back in March 2025). What I wanted was to rename images using AI so that I could rely on maximum specificity. I did not want to only rely on variables that the Shopify store could provide (Product titles, collection names, store name, locations, etc.) Instead I wanted a more specific approach, that's why I went with the Gemini API. I also did not want to pay for anything. Since this will always be a free open source project, stores all around the world can rely on it to update their Shopify product media!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello everyone, I'm currently working on an AI Shopify Product Image Optimizer. It renames images for your store using the Gemini API. It also resizes, compresses, and converts them. It then uses GraphQL to replace your store images. You can pick which Product ID to start from.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It uses BASH and it's already entirely functional. Currently looking for help with an ALT text generation script using Gemini. I've been using the rename script to do so and it's obviously not good enough.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AI Shopify Product Image Optimizer - Rename using AI, Generate ALT text, Rename, Resize, Compress, Convert to WEBP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Set your own dimension and size thresholds, gemini prompt, file text appends and prepends, and webp quality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Batch replace over the 250 limit using last product processed cursor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can read the full article here: &lt;a href="https://seo.topmiamisoftware.com/shopify-product-media-seo-ai-image-optimizer/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://seo.topmiamisoftware.com/shopify-product-media-seo-ai-image-optimizer/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
