About Compressor

Clean, fast file compression without the bloat

Who I Am

I'm Chips, a product designer and engineer who got tired of bloated, confusing file compression tools. Most apps either hide the important controls behind walls of settings, or they're so simple they give you no control at all.

Compressor is my answer: a focused tool that puts the one control that matters — compression level — front and center.

What This Solves

Need to shrink a file to fit an upload limit? Want to reduce storage space? Don't want to mess with complicated compression settings?

Just pick the target size as a percentage of your original file. Lower percentages for aggressive compression, higher for lighter compression. Everything happens locally in your browser.
