- What is FileShrinkr?
- FileShrinkr is a free online tool to compress images, export PDFs, and edit photos in your browser. No account is required.

- How does compression work?
- Images are processed on our server using FFmpeg and Pillow. You choose quality from 1 to 100 and pick an output format.
- Are my files stored permanently?
- Uploads are used for processing in a temporary batch folder. Do not upload sensitive documents you cannot risk exposing to a web service.

- How do I merge images into one PDF?

- What is the lossless PDF option?
- When compress images in PDF is unchecked, we embed originals with img2pdf to avoid re-encoding quality loss.

- Yes. Crop, resize, rotate, and flip use HTML5 Canvas in your browser. Only compression uses the server.
