Resize Hundreds of Images Offline

Sometimes you do not need Photoshop or an online converter.

You just need to take a folder of images and make everything smaller — fast.

That was the reason I built ImageShrink.

The problem

A lot of image tools are either:

  • too heavy for a simple batch job;
  • web-based, which means uploading files;
  • or awkward for quick folder-wide processing.

Typical tasks look like this:

  • resize a batch of screenshots;
  • reduce JPEG file size;
  • keep images under a size limit;
  • export everything together.

What ImageShrink does

ImageShrink is a small Windows utility focused on one job:

batch image resizing and compression.

It lets you:

  • add multiple images at once;
  • resize by max width and height;
  • resize by percentage;
  • adjust JPEG quality;
  • aim for a target file size;
  • download processed images individually;
  • export the full batch as a ZIP.

Why I made it

I wanted a tool that felt faster than opening a full editor and safer than uploading files to a website.

Everything is processed locally on your computer.

That means:

  • no uploads;
  • no account;
  • no cloud dependency.

Typical workflow

  1. Add your images
  2. Choose dimensions, percentage, or target size
  3. Process the batch
  4. Download the results

Free version

If you want to try it right away, the free version is available here:

If you need the expanded version, the full edition is available on itch.io:

Final note

If you only occasionally resize a few images, many tools will do the job.

But if you regularly work with folders of screenshots, photos, or client assets, a small dedicated utility can be much faster.

That is exactly why I built ImageShrink.
No account, no cloud processing, no subscription — just a small local utility for one repetitive job.
