FAQ

Featherweight — frequently asked questions.

What is Featherweight on Shopify?
Featherweight is a Shopify app in the Site optimization - Other category. Most Shopify stores carry unoptimized images — oversized product photos that slow down mobile pages. Featherweight fixes this automatically. Open the app, click Optimise, and every image is compressed using mozjpeg and palette quantization, resized to a 2048px maximum, with EXIF metadata stripped. Files are replaced in place — same URL, same product links — so references across your store keep working. Featherweight also handles the details search engines and screen readers rely on: it can gene.
How much does Featherweight cost?
Featherweight is free to install and use on Shopify — there are no paid plans on this app.
Is Featherweight free?
Yes — Featherweight is free to install and use on Shopify. There are no paid plans.
When was Featherweight launched?
Featherweight launched on May 18, 2026.
Is Featherweight Built for Shopify?
Featherweight does not currently carry Shopify's Built for Shopify badge. The badge is awarded to apps that meet Shopify's published standards for performance, ease of use, and merchant value — many high-quality apps operate without it.
