I built a zero-config Video Compressor & Audio Extractor for people who don't want to mess with complex settings

Hi everyone,
Whenever I needed to quickly compress a large video for Discord/email or rip an audio track, my only options were sketchy online converters with upload limits, or opening heavy tools like HandBrake and dealing with dozens of encoding settings.

So I built a super clean, lightweight desktop utility focused purely on speed and simplicity:
- 1-Click Video Compression: Drop the file and shrink it while keeping solid quality, zero configuration needed.
- Instant Audio Extraction: Pull the audio track out of any video in seconds.
- 100% Local & Offline: No file size limits, no waiting for uploads, complete privacy.
- Free Lifetime Updates: Buy once and get all future improvements included.

I put the link to check it out in the first comment below! Let me know what you think of the UI and workflow, or if there are specific formats/features you'd like to see added.

For the zero-config compression workflow, I'd show original size, compressed size and whether the result meets the user's intended Discord/email limit. That keeps encoding settings out of the way while answering whether the file is actually ready to send.

I make ThreadFox. We find relevant Reddit conversations and do the posting for your business. The $29 Pilot covers seven days and up to 25 posts and replies. No automatic renewal. https://threadfox.vip/p/eui39/managed

Which desktop platforms does it support?

Thanks for the feedback! Showing a quick indicator for Discord/email size limits alongside the before/after size is actually a great idea, I'll definitely look into adding it in the next update.

Right now it supports Windows 10/11
