Shoppers can't always put what they want into words. Image SearchIQ lets them search by picture instead — snap a photo, upload an image, or use their phone camera, and instantly see the matching products in your store. Better discovery, fewer dead-end searches, more sales.
A shopper who can't name a style, colour, or cut hits "no results" and leaves — even when the perfect item is sitting in your catalog. Visual search closes that gap.
Your customer saw the perfect piece on someone, or has a photo saved on their phone, but no idea what to call it. Keyword search leaves them empty-handed — and you lose a sale you could have made.
Shopify's built-in search matches words, not pictures. A shopper who can't describe the look never discovers the product that's right there in your store, one photo away.
Enterprise-grade visual search without the enterprise invoice. Start free, index your first products at no cost, and upgrade for a few dollars a month as your catalog and traffic grow.
Photo in, products out — refined with words, cropped to the exact item, and turned into demand signals you can act on.
Shoppers snap a picture or upload an image and instantly see the visually-matching products from your store. Works beautifully on mobile with native camera capture — no typing, no guessing the right words.
A photo is usually busy — a whole outfit, a full room. Shoppers drag a crop box over the one item they care about, and SearchIQ searches just that. Included free on every plan.
Let shoppers refine a visual search with text — "this style, but in blue," "similar, but cheaper." Combining what they can show with what they can say lands them on the right product faster.
SearchIQ reads your product images and pulls out attributes — colour, category, material, style — automatically. You get richer filters and sharper matches without hand-tagging a single product.
Show shoppers visually similar items on product pages and complementary picks at the cart. Help them discover more of what they already like — and lift average order value while you do it.
Every visual search is a signal. See the styles people look for, the searches that come back empty — your catalog gaps — and, on higher tiers, the looks shoppers want that you don't stock yet, labelled in plain language.
Four steps, zero theme code — live on your storefront within minutes of installing.
A shopper takes a photo, uploads an image, or uses their phone camera right from your storefront search.
SearchIQ instantly surfaces the products from your store that look most like the photo, ranked by visual similarity.
They crop to the exact item and add a word or two to narrow it down, landing on the right product in seconds.
You see what shoppers are hunting for, fix the searches that return nothing, and stock the looks they keep asking for.
Visual matches come back in real time, even on large catalogs and at peak traffic. Shoppers get answers instantly — not a spinner — so the moment of intent never goes cold.
A shopper's search photo is used to find a match and then discarded — never stored. Your catalog and store data stay isolated to your store and encrypted at rest. Their data stays their data.
Full Shopify data-request, customer-redact, and shop-redact compliance — every request honoured automatically, with a Data Processing Agreement available on request.
