Shrinkpad

Shrinkpad is your all-in-one desktop solution for quickly and easily reducing the size of your photos and videos, right on your Mac. If you're tired of large media files eating up your precious storage space or slowing down your website, this app is for you. It's designed to be incredibly simple: just drag and drop your files—or even entire folders—into the app, choose your settings, and let Shrinkpad compress them in seconds. The best part? Everything happens locally on your computer. Your files are never uploaded to the cloud, which means complete privacy for your work and no waiting for slow internet connections. Whether you're a photographer with hundreds of high-res shots, a designer preparing assets for a project, or a content creator managing lots of video clips, Shrinkpad helps you save gigabytes of space while keeping the visual quality you need. It's the fast, private, and powerful way to optimize your media. It's the native desktop app built for creatives who value their time, disk space, and the security of their work.

Smart Batch Compression

Shrinkpad makes handling large projects effortless with its powerful batch processing. You can drag and drop thousands of images and videos at once, and the app will process them all in a single queue. It automatically analyzes each file's visual complexity to apply the perfect compression ratio, aiming to reduce size without creating noticeable artifacts. This means you can compress an entire project's assets in minutes, not hours, saving you from the tedious work of optimizing files one by one.

Intelligent Folder Mode

Stop dragging files individually. With Folder Mode, you simply drop any folder onto Shrinkpad, and it instantly scans and detects all supported media files inside, including those in subfolders. It smartly identifies over 30 image formats (including RAW files) and all major video formats, adding them to your batch list while safely ignoring non-media files. This feature is perfect for organizing and optimizing exported assets from tools like Figma or Photoshop in one fell swoop.

Privacy-First Local Processing

Your files are your business. Shrinkpad ensures complete privacy by performing all compression work directly on your Mac. Nothing is ever uploaded to the cloud. This not only keeps your sensitive client work or personal projects secure but also means the process is lightning-fast, unhindered by your internet upload speed. You get powerful optimization without ever sacrificing control over your data.

Pro-Grade Format Support

Shrinkpad is built to handle the real-world mix of files that creatives use daily. It supports a wide array of formats out of the box, including JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, HEIC, MP4, and MOV. You can even process images and videos together in the same batch. The app is fully optimized for Apple Silicon Macs, using multi-threaded compression to deliver blazing-fast performance and help you reclaim disk space efficiently.

Web Designers & Developers

If you're building a website or app, large images and videos are the biggest culprits for slow load times. Shrinkpad helps you quickly optimize all your visual assets in bulk, significantly reducing bundle sizes. This leads to faster website performance and improved user experience, with many users seeing better Lighthouse scores. It's the perfect final step before deploying your project.

Photographers & Content Creators

Modern cameras and phones create massive files. Shrinkpad is ideal for photographers who need to archive hundreds of high-resolution shots or content creators managing gigabytes of video footage. You can compress your media library to save vast amounts of storage space while preserving the quality needed for portfolios, client delivery, or social media, all without ever uploading private content online.

Designers Preparing Assets

Designers often export assets at 2x or 4x resolution for various uses, resulting in unnecessarily large files. Instead of manually re-exporting from Figma, Sketch, or Photoshop, you can export everything at full size and let Shrinkpad handle the bulk optimization and renaming. This saves hours of repetitive busywork, ensuring your project files are lean and organized.

Teams & Small Studios

For teams collaborating on projects, sharing large asset folders can be a bandwidth nightmare. Shrinkpad's Team license allows multiple users to quickly optimize files before sharing them via email, cloud storage, or project management tools. This streamlines collaboration, saves on storage costs, and keeps everyone's local drives clutter-free.

Can I use Shrinkpad for free?

Yes! Shrinkpad offers a Free Starter plan that lets you try the core compression features at no cost. This plan allows you to process up to 10 files per batch, supports common formats like JPG and PNG, and has a maximum file size limit of 1GB. It's a great way to test the app and see how much space you can save before deciding to upgrade.

What file formats does Shrinkpad support?

Shrinkpad supports a wide range of image and video formats. For images, it handles JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, HEIC, and even professional RAW camera formats. For video, it supports major formats like MP4 and MOV. The app automatically detects over 30 different media formats when you use Folder Mode.

Does Shrinkpad support video compression?

Absolutely! Shrinkpad isn't just for images. It fully supports compressing video files like MP4 and MOV. You can even mix images and videos in the same batch queue, and Shrinkpad will apply the optimal compression settings for each file type, helping you save huge amounts of space on large video clips.

Are my files uploaded to the cloud?

No, never. Privacy is a core principle of Shrinkpad. All processing happens 100% locally on your Mac. Your files are never sent to or stored on any external server. This ensures your sensitive work remains completely confidential and also makes the compression process very fast, as it doesn't depend on your internet connection.
