If you sell on Shopee, you know the pain: your product photos need to be watermarked for brand protection, but they also have to stay under Shopee’s 2MB file size limit. Doing this manually for hundreds of listings is exhausting.
Shopee Image Buddy solves both problems in one step — a Chrome extension that intercepts your image uploads and handles everything automatically.
The Problem with Manual Image Processing
Most Shopee sellers follow a tedious workflow:
- Open an image editor (Photoshop, Canva, etc.)
- Add a tiled watermark manually
- Export and compress the image
- Check if it’s under 2MB
- If not, reduce quality and repeat
- Upload to Shopee Seller Center
This process can take 5–10 minutes per listing. Multiply that by 100 products, and you’re spending an entire day just on images.
How Shopee Image Buddy Works
The extension installs directly into Chrome and activates on Shopee Seller Center pages. Once set up, here’s what happens:
1. Upload Images as Usual
No change to your workflow. Just drag and drop or select images like you normally would in Shopee Seller Center.
2. Automatic Watermarking
The extension applies a tiled diagonal watermark across every image. You can configure:
- Watermark text — your store name or brand
- Opacity — how visible the watermark appears
- Font size — small and subtle or bold and prominent
- Spread — how densely the watermark tiles across the image
3. Smart Compression
The extension starts at 92% JPEG quality and compresses iteratively until the image fits under Shopee’s 2MB limit. Most images are compressed once and they’re done — preserving maximum quality while meeting the platform requirement.
4. Seamless Upload
The watermarked, compressed image is uploaded directly to Shopee. There’s no extra step, no download-reupload loop, and no browser tab to manage.
Privacy by Design
Everything happens locally in your browser. Your product images are never sent to any external server. The extension reads the image data, applies the watermark and compression in-memory, and uploads the result directly to Shopee.
