About
What's new

Compresto

Compresto shrinks videos, images, GIFs, and PDFs by up to 90% — meaning more space, fewer deletions, and zero quality loss. Compress in seconds, process hundreds at once, and automate the whole thing.

Perfect for anyone drowning in screenshots and video files. Smaller files also mean faster uploads and shareable attachments that actually fit.

Key Improvements:

Clearer benefit-first opening that speaks to the pain point
Stronger headline language ("reclaim," "breathe again")
Concise bullet points instead of run-on sentences
Specifics emphasized (90%, seconds, hundreds)
Problem-solution flow that feels natural

Version 1.29:

New Features

Offline AI Renaming with Ollama — Auto-rename files entirely on-device using a local Ollama model, with vision-based renaming, automatic model discovery, and a config UI in AI renaming settings
Inline Output Renaming in the Notch — Rename the compressed output file directly from the notch viewer; press Esc to cancel and the notch stays up long enough to finish editing

Improvements

Faster compression history — history now lazy-loads the newest items and extends as you scroll, with an adjustable batch size (50/100/200/500) for smooth navigation through large histories

Bug Fixes

Drop Zone compression now applies your custom Finder tags
Deep links now use your in-app settings as defaults instead of hardcoded values

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.
