Sound familiar?
Your file library is a mess
Past a thousand files, nothing is where you remember. Searching by filename only surfaces more duplicates, and you waste minutes every single time.
Editing alt text one image at a time wastes hours
Shopify's native file manager lets you edit alt text one image at a time. Running an SEO audit on a few hundred images turns into a full afternoon.
Unused files are quietly eating your storage
Every product swap leaves orphaned files behind. With no way to list them, your storage bill keeps climbing while no one notices.
We fix all of it.

Four core features
Everything you need for file management.
Organize with folders
Create unlimited folders and subfolders. Organize intuitively with drag-and-drop so the right file is always one click away, even as your library grows.
Auto-sort on upload
New uploads land in the right folder automatically based on filename patterns or media type. Set once, never manually sort again.
Bulk-edit alt text in one place
Edit alt text for many images from a single view. Filter to missing-alt only for efficient SEO audits.
Clean up unused files
Detect orphan files not used as product media. Bulk-delete to cut storage costs.
Orphan detection checks product media only. Files used in blog posts, themes, or metafields are not detected — please verify in Shopify admin before deleting.
How it works
Up and running in 3 steps.
Install the app
Install in one click from the Shopify App Store. Your existing files sync automatically.
Create folders, organize files
Drag-and-drop to organize. Optionally set up auto-sorting rules for new uploads.
Let it run on its own
New uploads are auto-sorted. Run SEO audits and orphan cleanups only when needed.

Shopify integration
Seamless Shopify integration.
Runs inside Shopify admin
Embedded via App Bridge, so it feels native inside Shopify admin. No tab-switching, no context loss.
