See every featureSlow images cost sales. Shrink Ray compresses your product images automatically, shrinking files with no visible quality loss, so your pages load faster and your image links never change. Every original is backed up before we touch it, so you can restore any image with one click. If compressing wouldn't make an image smaller, we skip it and say so. AI writes alt text for images missing it.
