Every. Single. Video Compression app on the play store SUCKS, which is why I created Compressor!

• Faster than every single compression app on the Play Store. Period.

• Uses native Media3 API, not another slow, bulky FFMpeg wrapper

• No third party libraries

• No invasive permissions (no storage, no internet etc)

• Ad free

• Super lightweight (< 10MB)

• Completely native Kotlin (no React Native slop here)

• Works on Android 7.0 and up

Compared to the first non-sponsored search result for “video compressor” on the Play Store, Panda Video Compressor, with over 10 million downloads, Compressor is 117x faster. When tested on my Pixel 8 Pro compressing a 200MB 4K video down to 1080p30 with the Medium preset in both apps, Compressor took only 11 seconds, Panda took almost 22 minutes.

Furthermore, using the highly optimised native Media3 API, Compressor is able to compress that same 200MB video down to just 2.2MB at 720p30, with virtually no difference in quality on a 6” phone screen.

I don’t currently have $25 USD to sign up for a Google Play Console account, so you can get Compressor completely free from GitHub releases (or build it yourself with Android Studio) at https://github.com/JoshAtticus/Compressor/releases/latest

If you like Compressor, please also consider donating even just a few dollars so I can get it onto the Play Store! I will never paywall features or put ads in the app. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/joshatticus
