Community Voice & Feedback
Congrats on the launch! Love the focus on reducing context switching. I'm curious what's been the hardest media format to support? I imagine PDFs, animated GIFs, and videos all come with very different tradeoffs between compression ratio and visual quality.
Love to see it! Quick, lossless compression FTW
serious Pied Piper vibes (Sillicon valley TV show) here 😂please tell me getcompress uses middle-out compression... and if not, how long until richard hendricks joins the team?😂😂😂On a serious note, how do you balance maximum file-size reduction with preserving visual quality across so many different formats?
Once I almost missed deadline for hackathon just because my video submission was slightly bigger than allowed in form, lost so much time with ffmpeg, seems like must-have so such stuff wont happen lol, congrats on the launch dude!
the "without context switching" part is the real selling point here imo, most compression tools make you leave your workflow to do it. is this running locally or hitting some cloud service under the hood.
Can you create a team license? where you can purchase multiple seats under one key?
Looks super polished! Love the offline mode and drag and drop feature. A small question on the interface - is there a way to preview or compare before and after compression? Or is it trial and error?
Solid product. I bought it.. This will come in handy!
Congrats on the launch ! how is the compression technique is different from the existing ones? is it a different compression algorithm?
The "no extra clicks + offline" combo is the part that would actually get me to switch. Most compression tools either require cloud upload (privacy concern for client files) or have friction-heavy UIs. The 90% reduction claim is bold though - curious how it holds on video specifically, since most desktop compressors struggle past ~70% without visible artifacts at anything beyond 1080p. What codec are you using under the hood for video?
Hey Petr! This is awesome cause compressing media files can be a headache sometimes and you're helping a lot on it. Wish you all the best!
Congrats with a launch!
I’ve been using GetCompress mostly with an MCP server and honestly I glad I don’t need to think about ffmpeg / other custom scripts I had before.

Congrats on the launch, man!Could you tell me a little bit more about the compression algorithms you use for GIFs?
Looks awesome! Congrats!
So, it doesn't turn into a ZIP file or anything like that—the file extension stays the same, but the file size gets compressed?That's amazing!
