Why FileShrinking

Compression that respects your privacy

Most online compressors upload your files to their servers. We took a different approach — and it turns out to be better in almost every way.

100% private

Files are read and compressed on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server — there's no server to upload to.

Fast & offline-capable

No upload or download round-trip. Compression runs locally with WebAssembly, so it works even after your connection drops.

Free, no sign-up

Every tool is free with no account, no watermark, and no email required. Use it as much as you like.

No file-count limits

Batch-process many files at once and download them all in a single zip. Limited only by your device's memory.

How it works

Three steps, zero uploads

From file to smaller file in seconds — without your data ever leaving your device.

  1. 1

    Add your files

    Drag and drop, browse, or paste from your clipboard. Queue as many as you like — they stay on your device.

  2. 2

    Choose your settings

    Pick a preset or fine-tune quality. See the projected savings update before you commit.

  3. 3

    Download instantly

    Grab each compressed file, or download everything as a zip. No waiting on an upload or a server queue.

Fully open source

Don’t just take our word for it. FileShrinking is 100% open source under the MIT license — the entire codebase is public, so anyone can verify that your files never leave your device.

Read the code that runs in your browser. No hidden uploads, no tracking of your files.

MIT licensed

Free to use, fork, and build on — for personal or commercial projects.
