Burgers shrink do to evaporation and other reactions caused when you cook ground beef. To prevent this from happening just add some bread crumbs and an egg or two depending on the size of the serving. The previous answer was so stupid I had to improve it.

Meat has water andwhen heated (as you can probably realise) it loses moisture which is why it shrinks because the water evaporates, I think that the fat goes away when it is heated also.

Does salt shrink your meat when you cook it?

Meats lose liquid as they cook, and will shrink to some extent whether salt is added or not. Using a lot of salt, especially when boiling or braising, can draw too much juice from meat and so dry it out too much. But a sprinkling of salt on the surface of burgers or steaks won't cause more shrinking.
