Frequently Asked Questions

GetCompress is a lightweight desktop app for compressing and converting images, videos, GIFs, and PDFs, offline on your computer.
Compress and convert images, videos, GIFs, and PDFs locally, then speed up repeat work with automatic clipboard compression, folder monitoring, presets, MCP automation and other features.

We designed the app for offline-only processing, so your files are compressed and converted locally on your computer. No internet connection is required for processing files.
It is a safer alternative to online file compressors for client work, private videos, confidential PDFs, product screenshots, and files from your clipboard.

GetCompress supports image, video, GIF, and PDF workflows across dozens of formats, and can convert as well as compress.
Formats include, but are not limited to: PDF; GIF; SVG, PNG, JPEG, JPG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, BMP, AVIF, JPEG 2000, ICO, PSD, TGA; MP4, WebM, MOV, M4V, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV, MPEG, MPG, 3GP; and audio exports such as MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A; and many more formats

You can fully control it: select High or Original presets for minimal quality loss, or try other presets, including Target File Size (for video), if you can accept worse quality and need smaller files.
File size is often reduced by 50-90%, and larger files with higher resolution benefit from the most file size reduction.
