Guys, my website is extremely slow, and one of the reasons is the use of SVG images. However, the site is already built, with numerous products and images. Is there an automated way to convert these images to JPG?
My site: meupetsp.com.br
Topic summary
A user reports their website (meupetsp.com.br) is extremely slow due to SVG image usage across numerous products. They’re seeking an automated conversion method to JPG.
Recommended Solutions:
- Use Photopea.com for manual SVG to JPG/WebP conversion
- Reserve SVG format only for small images and icons
- Convert banners and product images to JPG, JPEG, or WebP
- Use PNG only for images requiring transparency
Additional Speed Optimization Tips:
- Implement WebP format (better compression than PNG/JPEG)
- Compress images using TinyPNG, ImageOptim, or Shopify’s built-in tools
- Resize images to match theme requirements exactly
- Remove unused apps that add unnecessary JavaScript/CSS files
No automated bulk conversion solution was provided; the discussion suggests manual conversion and proper format selection going forward.

Hi @gestaomp
You can use this site: https://www.photopea.com/ to convert your SVG to JPG or WebP and upload it back to your site again. I recommend you use SVG for small images, do npt use svg for large ones.
@gestaomp hope you are doing well.
You can use any online tools to convert image in jpg,png, SVG etc.
JFYI, Used SVG for the icons, for the banner and product images use jpg,jpeg or webp file and for the transparent image use PNG.
here are some tips to increase website speed.
- Use WebP format: Shopify supports WebP, which provides better compression than PNG or JPEG.
- Compress images: Use tools like TinyPNG, ImageOptim, or Shopify’s built-in image compression.
- Use the correct image dimensions: Avoid oversized images and resize them according to your theme requirements.
- Remove unused apps: Many Shopify apps add JavaScript and CSS files that slow down the website.
