Question 5

Are my files uploaded to the cloud?

Accepted Answer

No, never. All compression happens 100% locally on your Mac. Your files never leave your device, and we have zero access to your images or videos. This makes Shrinkpad perfect for sensitive or confidential content.

The Personal license ($14) is valid for 1 device. If you have multiple Macs or work with a team, the Team license ($35) covers up to 10 devices. You can transfer your license to a new device if you replace your computer.

Yes, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If you're not satisfied with Shrinkpad for any reason, simply email support@shrinkpad.app within 7 days of your purchase with your purchase date and order details, and we'll process a full refund.
