Lightning fast, ad free, super lightweight native video compressor for Android (inspired by the AMAZING Kompresso app for iOS).
Do you like Compressor? Consider supporting development by buying me a coffee ☕️

How does Compressor run on different devices? All tests are completed with a 25 second, 200MB 4K video compressed using the Medium preset in Compressor.
| Device | Speed |
|---|---|
| Google Pixel 8 Pro | 11s 61ms |
| Samsung Galaxy S25 | 7s 99ms |
| Samsung Galaxy S10 (Exynos) | 11s 27ms |
| Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Exynos) | 20s 79ms |
| Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) | 25s 35ms |
And what about Compressor vs Panda Video Compressor, a highly rated video compression app filled with ads with 10M+ downloads. These tests were done using each app on their respective medium presets.
| Device | Compressor | Panda Video Compressor |
|---|---|---|
| Google Pixel 8 Pro | 11s 61ms | 21m 40s 49ms |
I ran out of time waiting for my 21 minute video compression so I only ran it on my main phone, my Pixel 8 Pro. Hopefully this gives you an idea of how much faster Compressor is compared to an outdated ffmpeg wrapper using software encoding. To be precise, it's 117x faster.
