compresso — Offline Batch Video & Image Compression
Free, open-source, fully offline desktop compression powered by FFmpeg, pngquant, jpegoptim, and gifski.
CompressO is a cross-platform desktop app (Tauri + React/Vite) for compressing, trimming, converting, and enriching video and image files — entirely on your local machine with no external calls.

Skill (any platform)
npx skills add https://github.com/akillness/jeo-skills --skill compressoWhen to use
- Compress a single video or batch of videos without uploading to a third-party service
- Reduce image file sizes (PNG → pngquant, JPEG → jpegoptim, GIF → gifski)
- Trim or split video content without a full video editor
- Convert between video/image formats via the FFmpeg pipeline
- Embed subtitles into video files locally
- Manage file metadata (title, author, date) during compression
Do not use when
- You need cloud-based transcoding or CDN delivery → route to a managed video service
- You need programmatic FFmpeg scripting in CI/CD → call
ffmpegCLI directly - You need advanced NLE editing (multi-track, color grading) → route to a full video editor
- You need streaming video packaging (HLS, DASH) → route to a dedicated packaging tool

Build from source
Prerequisites: Rust toolchain + Node.js + pnpm
git clone https://github.com/codeforreal1/compressO.git
cd compressO
pnpm install
# Development
pnpm tauri:dev # full Tauri + React dev mode
pnpm vite:dev # frontend only
# Production build
pnpm tauri:build # output: src-tauri/target/release/bundle/Operating rules
1. Always prefer a pre-built installer for end-user machines; build from source only when the user needs a custom Tauri/Rust configuration 2. Confirm FFmpeg, pngquant, jpegoptim, and gifski are available on the system PATH before CLI-based compression workflows 3. Use batch mode for ≥ 3 files to avoid per-file startup overhead 4. Route subtitle embedding through CompressO's built-in flow rather than raw ffmpeg -vf subtitles=… for consistent output naming 5. Check the releases page for the latest DMG/MSI/AppImage before building from source
