PiShrink
A bash script that automatically shrinks Raspberry Pi disk images and enables auto-resizing on first boot.
What is PiShrink?
PiShrink is a bash script that automatically shrinks Raspberry Pi disk images by removing unused space and configures them to expand to the full SD card size on first boot. It solves the problem of large, bloated Pi images that take longer to write and transfer, while also supporting compression to create even smaller archives.
Raspberry Pi users, embedded developers, and system administrators who frequently flash SD cards and need to optimize image storage and transfer times.
Developers choose PiShrink because it automates the tedious process of manually shrinking Pi images, saves storage space, speeds up SD card writing, and works across multiple platforms with simple command-line usage.
