## Description

Image Shrink Lite is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to reduce image file sizes quickly and efficiently with just a tap. It supports batch resizing of multiple images at once, making it perfect for saving mobile data and sending images through small inboxes. Users can remove sensitive EXIF metadata such as time and GPS location to protect privacy, or retain it if desired.

The extension allows specifying custom image sizes and can be integrated with other apps for advanced functionality. Shrunk images are saved separately from originals to avoid any data loss. For processing larger batches of 4 or more pictures, users are guided to use the corresponding Android app. Image Shrink Lite offers a simple, fast, and privacy-focused solution for image compression needs within the Chrome browser.
