In a world where file sizes keep growing but bandwidth remains limited, we saw the need for a privacy-first, powerful compression tool that anyone can use without compromising their data.
Existing compression tools either require you to upload files to external servers, compromising your privacy, or are too complex for everyday users.
We needed something that was fast, private, and accessible to everyone - from content creators to developers.
Most importantly, we wanted a tool that respects your data and never requires you to trust a third party with your files.
CompressWave leverages cutting-edge web technologies to bring professional-grade compression directly to your browser.
Using FFmpeg.wasm and modern Canvas APIs, we've created a tool that's as powerful as desktop applications but as accessible as a website.
Everything happens locally - your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy while delivering exceptional results.
Every feature is designed with the user experience in mind, making compression accessible to everyone.
We built CompressWave so your files never leave your device. What happens in your browser, stays in your browser.
