We are excited to announce a major enhancement to our Duplicate Image Detection feature, available exclusively on our Shopify app, Merges. This update is particularly significant for merchants managing large catalogs, as it drastically improves the efficiency of handling product images.

The latest announcement from Shopify introduces groundbreaking changes, enabling merchants to feature up to 2000 variants per product. This significant expansion in product variants can lead to a massive increase in associated product images. In response, we are actively developing robust systems to manage this complexity efficiently. The enhancement of our Duplicate Image Detection is a critical step in our ongoing efforts to optimize and adapt to these new capabilities.

Turbocharged Performance

To address this, we've extensively rewritten our AI Image Detection algorithm with a sharp focus on reliability and performance. Our efforts have paid off spectacularly, delivering a 10x improvement in processing speed. Tasks that previously took 60 seconds can now be executed in less than 6 seconds, although actual times may vary depending on the number and complexity of images.

Automated and Efficient

Merges' enhanced Duplicate Image Detection feature does more than just identify duplicates—it automatically removes them and ensures each image is uniquely assigned to the appropriate variant. This streamlines your store's management and enhances the customer experience.

Plan Availability

This powerful feature is included in our PRO and UNLIMITED plans, ensuring that our users can manage their product images more effectively and effortlessly than ever.

We are committed to continual improvement and are excited to see how this enhancement helps Shopify merchants optimize their online stores. For more details, visit our support center or get in touch with our help team.

Stay tuned for further updates as we strive to make Merges even better for our users!
