## Detailed info

## What is FastCompressor?

FastCompressor is a desktop media compression tool for local batch processing of images, videos, and documents.

## What FastCompressor does

FastCompressor compresses files and folders on the user’s CPU and GPU without uploading source files. Pro adds target sizes, folder watching, video trimming, and quick desktop actions. Users can adjust quality, resize media, and inspect output before saving.

## Who FastCompressor is for

Photographers, developers, ecommerce teams, creators, agencies, and production teams can optimize media in local batch workflows.

## How FastCompressor works

The user installs the desktop app and drops files or folders into the batch queue. Compression settings control quality, dimensions, formats, and metadata. Pro can watch a folder for new files or accept drops through a floating widget. Output preserves folder hierarchy and can be saved only when smaller.

## Key features

- The video trimmer cuts start and end points and removes audio.
- Video downscaling changes resolution before compression.
