Free · no limits · nothing uploaded
Compress a whole folder. Same structure back.
Drop a project folder or ZIP with hundreds of images, PDFs and videos. Shrinkfold compresses everything and returns the exact same sub-folders and file names.
- Runs in your browser
- Folder structure kept
- No sign-up
- No file limit
Settings Defaults work for most files
Videos are re-recorded in real time. Keep this tab in the foreground, otherwise it slows down.
Before / after
The feature nobody else has
Most compressors flatten your files into one long list – then you spend half an hour re-sorting. Shrinkfold keeps every sub-folder, every file name and even copies files it can’t compress (like .docx or .ai) unchanged, so the result is a drop-in replacement for the original folder.
ZIP in, ZIP out – or straight into a folder
Download the result as one ZIP, or in Chrome and Edge write it directly into a folder on your disk. That also works for multi-gigabyte projects.
Why Shrinkfold
Built by people who send heavy files every day
Folders stay folders
Drop a whole project folder or ZIP. You get the same structure back – nothing to re-sort, no renamed chaos.
Smarter PDF compression
Instead of crushing the whole file, every image is resized to its real size on the page. Text, vectors and plans stay crisp.
Private by design
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your files never touch a server – perfect for NDAs and client work.
No limits, no account
No file caps, no daily quota, no watermark, no sign-up. Free, funded by friendly local ads.
How it works
Three steps, zero uploads
Drop
Files, folders or a ZIP – images, PDFs, videos and SVGs together.
Shrink
Pick a target like “email under 10 MB” or keep the smart defaults.
Save
Download single files, one ZIP, or write straight into a folder.
FAQ
FAQ
Can I compress a ZIP file?
Yes. Drop the ZIP, Shrinkfold unpacks it, compresses all images, PDFs and videos inside and packs it again with the same structure.
What happens to files that can’t be compressed?
They are copied unchanged into the result (you can switch this off in the settings).
Is there a limit on the number of files?
No.
Is Shrinkfold really free?
Yes. No limits, no watermark, no account. We earn money with small, clearly marked local ads and a branded version for agencies.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser on your own device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded.
Is there a file size limit?
No artificial limit. The only limit is your device’s memory – modern laptops handle multi-gigabyte folders. For very large batches use “Save to folder” in Chrome or Edge.
Does it keep my folder structure?
Yes. Drop a folder or ZIP and the result has exactly the same sub-folders and file names – only smaller.
Will the quality get worse?
Text, fonts and vector graphics are never changed. Photos are re-compressed as little as needed: each image is measured on its own and resized only to the resolution its real size on the page requires. If compressing doesn’t save anything, you get your original back.
