Overview

What it is

Compressor is the fastest video compressor for Android. Period. Full stop. End of discussion. Compared to the top Play Store result for video compressor, Compressor is 117x faster (11 seconds vs 21 minutes). It's completely native, ad-free, no paywalls, no subscriptions, just an awesome free app, written completely in Kotlin and using native Media3 transformer pipelines for compression. It's got everything you'd want from a video compressor, presets, target size, etc, without any extra bloat.

Intent

I need it when

Share large video files via messaging or email without manual resizing

Compressor integrates with Android Share Sheet, allowing users to compress videos directly from gallery or messaging apps before sending. Simple UI with preset compression levels (Fast, Medium, Slow) makes one-tap compression accessible.

Compress HDR10+ and complex video formats while maintaining color accuracy

Compressor natively handles HDR10+ video compression and supports multiple codec standards. Benchmarks demonstrate reliable HDR compression on compatible devices, maintaining visual fidelity across challenging lighting scenarios.

Reduce video file size quickly on Android without ads or bloatware

Compressor uses native Media3 library and hardware acceleration to compress videos 117x faster than competing apps, with no ads, no invasive permissions, and under 10MB app size. Users achieve 60% file size reduction in seconds on any Android device.

Compress 4K and 8K videos while preserving quality on older Android phones

Compressor supports H.265 and AV1 codecs and runs efficiently on devices from Android 7.0 up, including budget phones with limited RAM. Benchmarks show consistent 60% compression across Galaxy S7 (2016) through Pixel 8 Pro (2024).

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires iOS or desktop video compression; Compressor is Android-only
  • User needs advanced editing features beyond compression; Compressor focuses solely on compression
  • User requires cloud-based or web-based compression without installing an app
  • User needs support for video formats other than H.265, AV1, and standard codecs
  • User requires commercial support or SLA guarantees; this is community-maintained open source
