HTML Shrinker is capable of reducing the size of various file types e.g. HTML, WML, WMLS, SHTML, JHTML, XML, CFML, JS, CSS, ASP, PL and PHP. It shrinks plain html, wml and xml code, but also Javascript, Php, Perl, WMLscript as well as VBscript code. Comments from different html editors e.g. Frontpage, Dreamweaver, Pagemil, SourceSafe are supported and SSI commands are left untouched. HTML Shrinker achieves an up to 50% reduction in file size by removing superfluous elements which aren't necessary for the files to display or function correctly. Shrunken files can be restored to their original state at any time.

HTML Shrinker allows to select single files for shrinking or to shrink a whole web site with only one mouse click. You can decide whether you like to replace the original files with the shrunken ones while automatically making backups or if you like to shrink to a destination folder and keep the original files untouched. Additionally you can shrink files or whole folder trees directly from the Windows Explorer by using the context menu, but you can also shrink files by using a script that controls HTML Shrinker or from the DOS box. Other useful functions are the shrinking of code on the clipboard and the ability to simulate the shrinking of files.

HTML Shrinker even contains a wide range of other significant features. For example, it allows you to clean up your html documents by removing all images, scripts, styles, NB spaces or font tags to make them slim e.g. for archiving or transferring them to your pocket computer. The Sites menu offers quick access to the root folders of different web sites on your hard drive, there are commands for displaying the source code of the files or for displaying the files in your browser and the Options dialog provides you with the opportunity to influence the shrinking process.
