Three tools, one engine
One file
Compress any file. Text drops 80%, a third smaller than gzip. It comes back byte for byte, every time, checked by SHA-256.
A whole drive
Your drive, compressed and live. Drop files in, open them instantly, no unzip. Like Dropbox, at a third the size, working as a normal folder.
A data centre
The enterprise engine. True parallel compression across every core, with crash isolation so one bad file can never take the server down.

The proof, measured
| What we compress | gzip | ElaraShrink | |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI training text (the bulk of AI storage) | baseline | 80% smaller | +30% under gzip |
| Source code | baseline | 84% smaller | +32% under gzip |
| A database | 162 MB | 109 MB | +32% under gzip |
| Model weights | baseline | about the same | dense, high-entropy data, the saving sits everywhere else |
Model weights are high-entropy, so they compress no better than gzip. Everything else is where your storage bill lives, and that is where we win big: the training data, the logs, the text, the code and the databases.
Why it is safe to bet on
Pricing
ElaraShrink Server is priced on value, not on a flat fee. A hyperscaler that stores an exabyte of text saves tens of millions a year, so the price is a share of that saving. You always come out ahead. The savings calculator works out your number.
One way to size it: five units of text storage become one, measured against the gzip the world already runs. And the proof we live by: the whole site runs on our own ElaraShrink + ElaraShrink Server — we run our business on the engine we sell. Our own routing service, 180 474 towns worldwide, runs from one small server on the same mathematics.
