Description
Squishly lets your visitors compress and convert images and PDFs right on your page — no uploads, no sign-up, and no load on your server, because everything runs in their own browser.
This plugin adds a Squishly Tool block (and a [squishly] shortcode) so you can drop any of these free tools anywhere on your site:
- Compress image (JPG, PNG, WebP)
- Convert image (JPG PNG WebP)
- Resize & crop
- Split image into a grid
- Image to PDF
- Compress PDF
- Organize PDF (merge, split, reorder, rotate)
You can match the tool to your site with a custom accent color, corner radius, and width, and show or hide the tool title.
Privacy: the tools process files entirely in the visitor’s browser. Files are never uploaded to Squishly or anywhere else.
This plugin embeds tools hosted at squishlyapp.com via an iframe. See the Squishly privacy policy and terms.
External services
This plugin embeds file tools hosted at Squishly (squishlyapp.com) by loading them inside an iframe. This is the core purpose of the plugin.
When a page containing the block or shortcode is viewed, the visitor’s browser requests the tool page from https://squishlyapp.com/embed/<tool> and renders it in the iframe. The tool the visitor uses runs entirely in their own browser — any file they choose is processed on their device and is NOT uploaded to Squishly or to any server by this plugin. No personal data is sent by the plugin itself.
