What Shrinkly is

Shrinkly is a free image compression service available through a web app and API. It accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and AVIF files, then converts the result to optimized JPEG output. Metadata controls can remove EXIF, GPS, camera information, and ICC profiles. The web app processes batches of up to 20 images, with a 5 MB maximum per image, and the Free plan allows five free images per day. Uploaded web files are automatically deleted after one hour. The homepage displays an API link and version 1.0.0. A Chrome extension listing adds bulk compression, resizing, and conversion for JPG, PNG, and WebP, handling up to 200 images at once with individual or ZIP downloads. The listing says files remain on the device, no account is needed, and storage is its only permission. Its interface supports 18 languages, including right-to-left layouts.

Shrinkly suits people who need browser-based or API image compression and JPEG conversion. The Chrome extension is aimed at users handling larger local batches without uploading files.
