Frequently asked questions

Is the ShrinkIt Chrome extension free?

Yes — ShrinkIt is completely free, with no accounts, no ads and no premium tier. Every feature is available to everyone.

Does ShrinkIt upload my images to a server?

No. All resizing and compression happens locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device, and ShrinkIt collects no data about you or your photos.

Why does the extension ask for permission to access all sites?

ShrinkIt needs that permission for one reason only: to fetch the image you right-click on, so it can resize it. It never reads page content, never tracks your browsing, and only touches the exact image you choose.

How do I update or uninstall the extension?

For this manual (ZIP) install, download the new version from this page and repeat the Load unpacked steps — your settings carry over. To uninstall, open chrome://extensions and click Remove on the ShrinkIt card. Once ShrinkIt is on the Chrome Web Store, updates become automatic.
