  • Unused Product Images (Free) is a free PrestaShop module designed to optimize disk space and file limits (Inodes) on your hosting. The tool automatically locates and displays image files and thumbnails that remain on the server but are no longer associated with any product in the database.

    The module directly solves the issue of slow-running backups and simplifies store migration. Scanning and deletion are performed asynchronously (AJAX) from the administration panel, preventing server overload even with hundreds of thousands of images left behind by mass imports or years of testing.

    0.00 € Tax excluded

    • Free module shared with the PrestaShop community
    • Possibility to report suggestions and bugs - corrections according to availability
    • No warranty or support as standard (no SLA)

    Key Benefits

    • Faster backups and secure migration — reduced file size drastically cuts down backup creation time and facilitates quick store restoration in case of emergency.
    • Protection against hosting limits (Inodes) — removing unnecessary graphics frees up the total number of files on the server, preventing critical account suspension.
    • Real cost savings — reclaiming disk space helps avoid forced upgrades to more expensive hosting plans.
    • Streamlined development work — a lightweight directory downloads to your local or staging environment in minutes instead of hours, reducing technical service costs.
    • Full control before deletion — see the exact number of files and total data size to be recovered; the final decision always remains yours.

    Use Cases

    • Server cleanup after migration or mass product imports (XML/CSV) — removing remnants of old files.
    • Cleaning the production environment after chaotic testing or deleted catalogs.
    • Post-thumbnail regeneration cleanup — removing deprecated image formats no longer used by the active theme.
    • Quick audit and space reclamation on smaller, limited shared hosting environments.
    • Routine technical maintenance without the need for slow FTP directory browsing.

    Features – Back Office

    File Scanner

    A single-click process that compares disk contents directly with the PrestaShop database.

    • Live progress bar — real-time percentage tracking during the scan.
    • Key metrics — instant details on the number of files to delete and the volume of MB/GB to reclaim.

    Batch Deletion

    Safe server space cleanup without the risk of overloading server infrastructure.

    • Batches of 100 files — eliminates the risk of operation timeouts or server freezes.
    • Resume option — allows continuing the process in case of temporary network drops.

    Technical Log

    A concise reporting panel displayed directly within the module configuration screen.

    • Success status — clear confirmation upon successful cleanup completion.
    • Error handling — straightforward troubleshooting (e.g., incorrect write permissions/CHMOD on the server).

    Lightweight Architecture

    Engineered to keep the system clean and performant.

    • No extra database tables — the module introduces zero overhead to the store database.
    • Compatibility & Updates — full support for PrestaShop from 1.7.7 up to the latest 9.x releases, featuring the built-in PP Updater.

    Features – Front Office

    The module operates exclusively on the administrative backend. It has no Front Office features — it does not modify the theme, loads no additional JS/CSS scripts, and has zero impact on page load speeds for your customers.

    Impact on Stability and SEO

    • Safe for SEO — the module only removes files with no matching database records. Images of active products are untouched, and their Google indexing remains completely secure.
    • Smoother server management — getting rid of hundreds of thousands of redundant files speeds up core file operations (e.g., loading directories via FTP clients or executing SSH commands).

    Important Note!

    Before clicking Delete found files, you must perform a backup of the /img/p/ directory. The deletion process is irreversible, and the module does not create backups automatically. The scan relies on the standard PrestaShop image structure — if you use external, custom integrations that save files under unique naming conventions, please review the generated list manually before executing the cleanup.
