Shrink

A minimal image compression app

Overview

A simple self-hosted tool for compressing and resizing images. Upload an image, set your desired quality and optional width, and download the compressed JPEG.

• Single Rust binary
• Compress images to JPEG with configurable quality (1-100)
• Optional resize by width (preserves aspect ratio)
• 20MB upload limit
