ShortPixel

Compress, convert, and resize images and PDFs for the web.

Visit ShortPixel

ShortPixel has been operating since 2014 and serves over 600,000 users worldwide. Its core technology, SmartCompress, optimizes each image multiple times with proprietary algorithms to produce the smallest possible file while preserving visual quality. The service supports JPG (including JPEG 2000 and XR), PNG, GIF (including animated), BMP, TIFF, HEIC, and PDF files. It offers lossy, glossy, and lossless compression modes, automatic conversion to WebP and AVIF, CMYK to RGB conversion, and progressive JPEG generation. Processing happens in the cloud, so hosting resources are not consumed during optimization.
