Features of Shrinkpad

Lightning-Fast Batch Processing

Stop processing files one by one. Shrinkpad is engineered for speed, allowing you to drag and drop entire folders containing hundreds or even thousands of files. The app instantly detects all supported media and processes them in a single, powerful batch. Optimized for Apple Silicon with multi-threaded compression, it crushes workloads in minutes that would take other tools hours, making it a total game-changer for efficiency.

Privacy-First Local Processing

In an era of data breaches and cloud delays, Shrinkpad stands apart. Every single compression task happens 100% locally on your Mac. Your sensitive client photos, unreleased videos, and personal projects are never uploaded to a server. This means complete privacy, faster speeds since there's no waiting for uploads/downloads, and the ability to work entirely offline—a feature praised by security-conscious creatives everywhere.

Intelligent Quality Preservation

Shrinkpad is smart. It doesn't just blindly crush files. The app automatically analyzes the visual complexity of each image and video to apply the perfect compression ratio, dramatically reducing file size while keeping artifacts and quality loss virtually invisible. You can trust it with your high-resolution photos and 4K videos, ensuring professional results every time without the guesswork.

Extensive Format Support & Folder Mode

Say goodbye to tedious format conversions. Shrinkpad supports over 50 formats out of the box, including JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, AVIF, MP4, MOV, and even RAW files. Its revolutionary Folder Mode lets you drop any project folder; it smartly finds all media inside, ignores non-media files, and prepares a mixed batch of images and videos for one-click compression. It’s the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it workflow optimizer.

Use Cases of Shrinkpad

Optimizing Website & App Assets

Developers and web designers are using Shrinkpad to drastically reduce bundle sizes and improve site performance. By batch-compressing all hero images, icons, and product shots, they achieve faster load times and better Lighthouse scores. The ability to strip metadata and auto-rename files in bulk streamlines the entire asset pipeline from Figma or Photoshop directly to production.

Managing Photo & Video Libraries

Photographers and videographers drowning in massive RAW files and 4K footage use Shrinkpad to reclaim terabytes of storage. They can create lean, high-quality copies for client delivery, portfolio use, or cloud backup without sacrificing the integrity of their original work. Processing entire shoots in one batch saves countless hours of manual exporting.

Preparing Content for Social Media

Content creators and social media managers need to post high-quality visuals that meet platform size limits. Shrinkpad allows them to quickly compress batches of photos and videos captured on iPhones or professional cameras, ensuring optimal quality for Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok while avoiding slow uploads due to oversized files.

Streamlining Agency & Team Workflows

Small studios and marketing teams use the Team license to standardize asset optimization across devices. Before sending files to clients or uploading to shared drives, they run them through Shrinkpad to ensure consistent, manageable file sizes. This prevents inbox clogging, speeds up review cycles, and simplifies collaboration with external partners.
