ShortPixel
Google Drive Optimizer

Make space and store up to five times more images or PDFs on your Google Drive, without compromising on quality.

The space on your Google Drive is limited, either if you use the free tier or even if you use a paid account, if you need to store a lot of images and PDF documents. Make sure you don't get over the quota and store a lot more images in the same space by letting ShortPixel optimize your Google Drive images in the background.

Free up to 100 images/mo. Unlimited plan at $9.99/mo.

You are in control
