Hey hunters and makers! 👋 I'm Petr, the solo founder of @GetCompress, a desktop app I made to improve media compression 🎥🖼️📄↘️🤏⚡🔐
Who is it for? You're covered if you ever upload and share media: Optimize assets for your blog or bug reports & PRs. Finally fit file size limits & upload that PDF. Free up to 90% of disk space by shrinking media with minimal quality loss.
Why making another compressor? Because no other apps pass my quality bar and cover my needs: You know, there are native macOS apps that struggle to scroll a list of just ten previews 😵💫 I also wanted to just drop files, get them compressed, and drag back without alt-tabbing and context switching.
Compress or convert 107+ supported formats, automate your workflows, and even connect to the MCP server!
Your feedback would help a lot, even based just on the demos and the landing page:
can you remember last time you needed to upload a file with size limit?
is anything missing in the intro or demo videos that is important for you to know?
do you usually read testimonials and find them helpful?
I'm here to answer every question, and I'll be the happiest if you share your thoughts!
Thanks everyone 🥳
