Shrinky: Desktop PDF Shrinking Software

Easy PDF shrinking for Windows, Mac and Linux, with intuitive drag-and-drop interface, preserving document quality

What is Shrinky?

Shrinky is a lightweight desktop application available for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems that allows users to easily reduce the file size of PDF documents. It has an intuitive drag-and-drop interface where you simply drag in any PDF you wish to compress and Shrinky will output an optimized version preserving the quality.

The application works by removing excess metadata, compressing images, simplifying fonts and cleaning up redundant objects in the PDF. This can significantly reduce file size, especially for PDFs containing lots of images or complex vector graphics. The compressed PDF retains all the original text and images without any perceivable quality loss.

Unlike online PDF compressors which have file size limits or often require uploads to unfamiliar servers, Shrinky works locally on your own computer without any limits. It also has advanced customization options to control the level of compression and optimization, making it suitable for reducing PDFs for email attachments, web hosting or eBook distribution.

As a light-weight and easy-to-use application focused solely on PDF compression, Shrinky provides a simple drag-and-drop tool for anyone needing to reduce PDF file sizes without the complexity of full featured PDF editors. It works on all platforms and does not require any registration or payments.
