File Squeeze
Shrink whole folders of photos and videos on Windows
File Squeeze compresses photos and videos on your Windows 11 PC. Drop a whole folder (every subfolder is included), pick Maximum Quality, Balanced or Smallest File, and press Compress. Videos encode on your GPU to H.264, or AV1 on supported cards. HEIC converts to JPEG. Your originals stay where they are. Files that would not get smaller are skipped. No account, no subscription; everything runs on your PC. One $9.99 purchase in Microsoft Store, with a 7-day trial.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Pavel. I wanted to make my photos and videos smaller, but I didn't want to upload them anywhere to do it. Most quick fixes are websites, where you send your family photos to someone else's server and download them back. So I built File Squeeze, a Windows app that does the whole job on your own PC.
You drop a whole folder on the window, and it finds every photo and video in all subfolders. If you pick an output folder, it copies the folder structure there. Videos encode on your graphics card: H.264 MP4 on NVIDIA, Intel or AMD, or AV1 MP4 if your GPU supports it.
It never touches your originals. Results get a "-squeezed" name. If a file wouldn't get smaller, File Squeeze skips it, and it stops a video encode early when the result is heading past the original size. You can drop the same folder again later. It skips earlier results and videos that are already efficient.
In the demo, a 115.5 MB holiday video came out at 6.1 MB (95% smaller). Savings depend on the source, so try it on your own folder.
It's a one-time $9.99 in Microsoft Store with a 7-day trial. No account, no subscription.
