Overview
When Product selection is set to All products (use filters), the app gives you a full set of filters to narrow down exactly which products you want to include in your export. You can combine as many filters as you like, and the app shows a live count of matching products and images as you go.
Available filters
Collections
Select one or more collections to only export products that belong to those collections. This is great when you want to export images for a specific product line or seasonal collection.
For example, if you have a "Summer 2026" collection, you can select it and only those products will be included.
Vendors
Filter by the vendor (brand) assigned to each product in Shopify. If you carry multiple brands and only need images from one of them, this filter saves you time.
Product Types
Shopify lets you assign a product type to each product (like "T-Shirt", "Mug", "Poster"). Use this filter to export images for specific product categories.
Tags
If you use tags in Shopify to organize your products, you can filter by one or more tags. This is useful for internal labeling systems, like "needs-photos-updated" or "ready-for-catalog".
How the list filters work
Collections, Vendors, Product Types, and Tags all work the same way:
- Click the filter's button to open a checklist of everything in your store. Until you pick something, the button reads All collections, All vendors, All product types, or All tags.
- Tick as many items as you like. The button changes to show how many you have chosen, for example "3 selected".
- Each item you tick appears as a chip under the button. Click the × on a chip to remove just that item.
- Click Clear all at the bottom of the checklist to empty that filter's selection in one go.
Status
Filter products by their Shopify status using the Status dropdown:
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| All statuses | Products with any status (the default) |
| Active | Products visible in your online store |
| Draft | Products that are not yet published |
| Archived | Products that have been archived |
The default is All statuses, which means draft and archived products are exported alongside active ones. If you only want the products your customers can see, set the filter to Active.
Date range
Filter products by when they were created. Click Select date range to open a calendar, pick a start date and an end date, and the button changes to show the range you chose. To remove the date filter again, click Clear next to it. This is especially handy for exporting images from products added during a specific time period.
Combining filters
All filters work together. For instance, you could combine:
- Collections: Summer 2026
- Vendors: Nike
- Status: Active
This would give you only active Nike products from your Summer 2026 collection.
Live product and image count
About half a second after you change a filter, the app recounts and shows how many products match and how many images will be exported, for example "42 products, 180 images will be exported". The count appears next to the Preview Count button in Step 2, and you can click Preview Count at any time to force a fresh count. This way you always know what to expect before starting the export.
Products that match your filters but have no images count toward the product total and add nothing to the image total. See What Gets Exported for exactly which images are included.
If you would rather hand pick individual products instead of using filters, switch Product selection to Specific products (pick individually). See Choosing Specific Products for more.
Next steps
Once you have your products filtered, you can configure file naming and folder structure before starting the export.
