Compresto 1.28.1

Compress videos, images & PDFs.
Videos, screenshots, and PDFs can quickly pile up on your Mac, filling up your storage and making you delete things you’d rather keep. Compresto shrinks your files by up to 90%, so you can reclaim that space without losing anything. And when you need to send something, it just goes — no more files too large to attach or uploads that take forever.
- Compress videos without losing quality
- Shrink images, GIFs, and PDFs in seconds
- Process hundreds of files at once
- Automate compression with folder monitoring
Version 1.28:
New Features
- Per-File Compression Overrides — Override compression settings for individual files in a batch, so you can tune quality or format per item without splitting jobs
- Auto-Compress from Clipboard — Files copied to the clipboard can be compressed automatically as soon as they're detected
- Finder Tags Preserved — Finder tags on source files are now applied to compressed outputs so your tag-based workflows keep working
Folder Monitoring Settle Time — Add a settle time delay before compressing newly detected files, giving downloads and exports time to finish writing - Retain Modification Date — New option to preserve the original file's modification date on the compressed output
- Background-Only Notifications — Option to only show compression notifications when Compresto is in the background
Improvements
- Trash button added to single-file previews for quick removal
- Feedback board cards now show developer responses inline
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the main window stayed behind other windows when dropping files in "Open in App" mode
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the app?
Mount the image, drag the app into the "Applications" folder and launch it. If the system blocks the launch, allow it in "System Settings → Privacy & Security".
The app is damaged or won't launch
Reinstalling from a fresh image usually helps. Make sure your macOS version matches the one listed in the compatibility specs.
How do I update?
Download the new version from the site and install it over the current one — your settings will be preserved.
The download link doesn't work
Try a mirror or a download manager. For large files the browser often drops the connection.
How do I completely remove the app?
Use an uninstaller utility — it cleans up the service files that remain after moving the app to the trash.
