A supporting tool from the Orthogonal blog
QuickShrink is a supporting image utility for the blog, not the subject of every article. Use it to prepare an image for a page or message when reducing dimensions or file size fits the job.
When it fits
Compress and convert images before publishing or sharing them.
JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Free: 20 compressions per day. Pro: $3.99 once for batch, format, resize, preset, and ZIP features.
Start with a small example
- Keep the original and open a non-sensitive sample image.
- Choose the available quality or format controls, then compare the output with the original.
- Download the result only after checking its appearance and dimensions. Multiple-file processing and ZIP download are paid Pro features.
Limits to understand
A smaller file can lose visible detail. Output size depends on the source, dimensions, and format; a quality setting does not promise a particular percentage saving or exact byte limit. The browser app and the command-line package are different implementations.
Input processing and privacy
Image compression stays in this browser. First-party usage events are sent separately; Stripe handles checkout if chosen.
Local processing is not a promise of zero network requests. Read the privacy policy and use non-sensitive examples unless you have independently reviewed the application.
