- ZIP Shrinker is a browser tool designed to compress ZIP files and ZIP-based formats like APK, EPUB, and JAR.
- It reduces file size by re-compressing entries with libdeflate for better compression, removing unused metadata and directory entries.
- Testing showed significant savings, such as a 30.06% reduction for an APK file and 18.16% for an EPUB.
- The tool maintains backward compatibility while potentially cutting bandwidth and server costs for large-scale use.
- Alternative formats may offer better compression but lack the widespread compatibility of ZIP files.
