Hi Product Hunt! I'm Trong, the maker of Presso. Every week I run into the same annoyance on my Mac: a screen recording is too big for Discord's 20 MB limit, a folder of HEIC and PNG exports is eating up disk space, or a scanned PDF contract bounces back from Gmail's 25 MB cap. Existing options always felt like a compromise: - Open-source apps are great, but you end up juggling four separate tools (HandBrake for video, ImageOptim for images, Gifski for GIFs, and terminal Ghostscript commands for PDFs). - Commercial Mac compressors put all formats in one place, but most lock you behind a 5-file-per-day paywall before you can even finish a single folder. - Online compressors make you upload private files to someone else's server. So I built Presso, a native SwiftUI app for macOS 13+ (with native Liquid Glass support on macOS 26) that handles all four in one queue. How it works under the hood: - 100% offline: It bundles FFmpeg, gifski, pngquant, Ghostscript, and macOS ImageIO compiled from checksum-pinned source. Nothing ever leaves your Mac. - Safe by default: Each file is written to a temporary staging file first and swaps the original only after a clean finish. If a compressed file ever comes out larger than the source, Presso discards it and keeps your original ("Already optimized"). - Fault-tolerant queue: Drop 200 mixed files at once. Each file runs on its own and reports its own progress, so one bad input never stops the batch. How Free vs. Pro works: I wanted the free version to be genuinely useful on its own, not a crippled trial. - Free forever: Compress unlimited files per batch and per day across all formats (video, images, GIF, PDF), using Smaller, Balanced, or Sharper presets via drag-and-drop or Finder right-click. - Pro (one-time purchase): Built for hands-off workflows and fine control. You get Watched Folders (with subfolders), a floating drop zone, clipboard compression, a macOS Shortcuts action, two-pass target video sizes (just type "19 MB" and skip the bitrate math), video-to-GIF, and custom codec/resolution/FPS controls. Launch week offer: Pro is a one-time license ($29 for 1 Mac, $39 for up to 3 Macs, including all 1.x updates and a 14-day no-questions-asked refund). Until October 26, code LAUNCH takes $10 off at checkout ($19 Personal / $29 Family). Download it free at https://presso.bytrong.app and throw your heaviest folder at it. I'll be here all day and would love your feedback or feature requests!
