General information

PhotoShrinker is provided as a free, browser-based utility for reducing image file size. It is offered "as is" for general use and is not a substitute for professional advice regarding image use, licensing or legal compliance.

Compression results

Compression results vary depending on the original image, format, dimensions and chosen quality level. We do not guarantee any specific file-size reduction, and we do not guarantee that output will be visually identical to the source.

Format support

Support for some formats (such as HEIC and AVIF) depends on your browser and operating system. We cannot guarantee that every file will decode successfully in every environment.

Use of images

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to compress and use any image you process with PhotoShrinker. We do not claim ownership of, or responsibility for, the content you compress.
