MediaReduce is a SaaS platform that helps e-commerce sellers and brands automate product image processing to meet marketplace requirements for Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and Google Shopping.

Instead of manual editing or one-off AI tools, MediaReduce provides workflow-based image automation that delivers consistent, professional, and marketplace-ready results at scale.

What MediaReduce does

- Automates product image compliance (dimensions, formats, backgrounds, file size)

- Provides prebuilt workflow templates for Amazon sellers, Shopify merchants, and e-commerce teams

- Enables bulk processing with predictable, repeatable output

- Powers a Shopify App that processes and replaces images directly inside Shopify Admin

- Optimizes images for speed, zoom, and conversion without manual intervention

Why it’s different

Most image tools optimize for “AI magic.” MediaReduce optimizes for consistency, compliance, and scale.

- Deterministic processing (no random results)

- Professional edge refinement and enhancement

- Platform-aware outputs (Amazon, Shopify, Etsy rules)

- Clear free → paid upgrade path for premium workflows

- Built for real production catalogs, not one-off edits

Who it’s for

- Shopify merchants managing growing product catalogs

- Amazon and Etsy sellers tired of image rejections

- Agencies handling multi-store or multi-platform listings

- E-commerce teams that need reliable automation, not manual editing

Core use cases

- Amazon main image compliance

- Shopify speed & zoom optimization

- Product image enhancement for low-quality photos

- Multi-platform export workflows

- Bulk catalog image processing

MediaReduce turns product image preparation into a reliable, automated system — so sellers can focus on selling, not fixing images.


I am building Shopify, Etsy, Amazon and marketplace image compliance platform so that businesses don't switch between tools.

Feedback welcome


Thanks for the feedback. I understand your point of view on revit but this solution is needed since it allows layman to have a good understanding of their house project before they commit. Users will come to you professionals with solid demands and floorplans that helps both parties converge on a professional solution without too much iteration.


Hey, I find it interesting, I will contact you to have a chat


Exactly, he even mentioned that it's a variant of traditional optimization tool so it's not surprising to see cutting-plane methods and when the structure allows; benders decomposition


It is MVP, the website is the direction


Interesting and important point. Currently, I am not working with writers, I am first relying on stories from school, childhood, family and from friends in other countries. When I start to work with writers, they will be fully compensated. The current stories are common to anyone who grew up in the Africa especially rural.


Indeed, there are lots of stories that will be incorporated


Good point, the part of the LLM is to allow a user to insert their own context into the stories. For example, an anansi story, could be adapted to use names of people if that will help the user (example parent) give context (to a child).


I don't see the point of doing that; the stories' power comes from myth/archetype. They're fables. Anansi is a trickster god; the characters he tricks tend to be other gods, spirits or archetypes. They're not normal people. They're already meant to teach, and connect with kids. It's been happening for centuries.

I see you identifying a need (African storytelling traditions should be preserved), which is great. But I would really recommend talking to experts in this field before monetizing features that dilute these cultures' canon.

    We do not really mean, we do not really mean that what we are about to say is true. A story, a story; let it come, let it go


Has anyone said they actually want this? I wouldn't, especially for traditional folktales.


Noted, I will update it to adapt to the phone background color settings
