# Image Compress

One of the best practices to improve the speed loading of your store is image compression. Search Pie app will automatically compress your product images to minimize file size without degrading quality to an unacceptable level. As a result, the time required for images to be sent over the Internet or downloaded is greatly reduced. 

Compressed images will help improve store loading time, user experience, and SEO.

Here please choose the **Compress** button.

After you choose compress, all your product images will be compressed to the limit of your app plan:&#x20;

* Free Plan: 50 compressed images
* Premium Plan: 500 compressed images&#x20;
* Enterprise Plan; unlimited compressed images.&#x20;

Also, you can check out a detailed history of compressed images below. It is available for you to backup the original images. You can restore an individual image or whole set of images with a press of a button.

### Get extra image compressions

If you've used all of the free image compressions included in your plan, you can purchase additional image compressions directly from the app without upgrading your subscription.

This option is available when the number of **New images** exceeds the free image compressions included in your current plan.
