ShrinkyShrinky for server admins
Everything you need to run Shrinky in your server: setup, permissions, settings and moderation. Most of it is free for every server.
Adding Shrinky
Click Add to Discord, choose your server and approve the permissions. You need the Manage Server permission. Shrinky gets its own Shrinky role, and /shrinky works right away in every channel it can post in.
Permissions Shrinky needs
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| View Channels | To see the channel it posts in. |
| Send Messages | To post the clip or photo. |
| Send Messages in Threads | To post when /shrinky is used in a thread or forum post. |
| Attach Files | To attach the shrunk file. |
| Read Message History | So Shrink this and Make GIF can reply to the original message. |
Shrinky doesn't need to read messages, manage anything or mention roles. (If someone @mentions Shrinky, it replies with a short how-to, at most once every 30 seconds per channel.) If it's missing a permission in a channel, it tells the member privately instead of failing silently.
Who can use what
| Command | Where | Who (by default) |
|---|---|---|
/shrinky | Type it in a channel | Everyone |
| Shrink this, Make GIF | Right-click a message → Apps | Everyone (Shrinky Pro feature) |
/shrinky-settings | Type it anywhere in the server | Members with Manage Server |
| Shrinky: who posted | Right-click a Shrinky post → Apps | Members with Manage Messages |
To change who can use a command, or block it in certain channels, use Discord's built-in controls: Server Settings → Integrations → Shrinky, then pick a command and set roles, members or channels. You'll also see /compress there: it's Shrinky's original name for /shrinky and still works, so restrict both if you restrict one.
Server settings: /shrinky-settings
Opens a private panel with dropdowns and buttons. Changes save instantly.
Where Shrinky works (free)
Pick the channels where Shrinky can be used. Leave it empty for every channel. In other channels, members get a private note listing where to go instead. Threads and forum posts follow their parent channel. This also applies to members using their own Shrinky ("Add to my apps") in your server.
Blocked members (free)
Pick members who can't use Shrinky in your server. They get a private "turned off for you here" message. You can also block someone straight from one of their posts (see Mod tools).
Channel options Server plan
Pick a channel to set its options:
- Always spoiler: every Shrinky post in that channel is blurred. Members can't turn it off.
- Remove audio: starts ticked for members; they can untick it.
- GIF: "Post as GIF" starts selected; members can switch back to video.
Footer Server plan
Set one short line (up to 80 characters) shown under Shrinky posts in your server, like your server's name or tagline, or leave it empty for no footer.
Stats Server plan
How many clips, GIFs and photos were shared with Shrinky in your server this week and all time, and how much space was saved. Totals only: nothing about who posted what.
Mod tools
Free for every server. Right-click (or long-press) a post made by Shrinky, then Apps → Shrinky: who posted. Only members with Manage Messages see it.
- Shows who made the post, when, and how (
/shrinky, Shrink this or Make GIF). - Delete post removes it.
- Block from Shrinky here stops that member using Shrinky in your server (undo with Unblock, or in
/shrinky-settings).
Shrinky keeps these records for 30 days, and only shows records for posts made in your server.
Members' own Shrinky
Members can add Shrinky to their own account and use it in servers that haven't added it. In your server:
- Your
/shrinky-settingsstill apply (allowed channels, blocked members, and channel options when you have the Server plan). - Discord's Use External Apps permission decides whether their posts are public. If it's off for a member, Shrinky's reply is only visible to them (they get a copy in their DMs).
Server plan Coming soon
A subscription for your whole server, bought through Discord once Shrinky is verified. It will include:
- Pro for everyone in your server (inside your server): Shrinky's servers do the work, Shrink this and Make GIF, no footer, priority, and Pro limits for each member while they're in your server (20 clips an hour, 50 a day on Shrinky's servers). Limits are always per person across all servers, so nobody gets extra by switching servers.
- Bigger posts in boosted servers: if your boosts let Shrinky send larger files, posts use that extra room (up to 50MB) for sharper clips.
- Channel options, a custom footer and server stats in
/shrinky-settings.
Reporting abuse
If someone posts something harmful with Shrinky: delete it with the mod tool, report the message to Discord (right-click → Report), and if it involves Shrinky itself, email support@horizonerti.pro with a link to the message. Shrinky can ban users and servers from the whole service, and reports illegal content to the authorities as the law requires. See the Terms.
Removing Shrinky
Server Settings → Integrations → Shrinky → Remove App. Your server's Shrinky settings stay saved in case you add it back; email support@horizonerti.pro if you'd like them deleted.
