Help get Compressor on Google Play!

Compressor is almost available on Google Play, but to do so, Google requires that we have at least 12 testers for 14 days. If you want to see Compressor on Google Play, head to https://groups.google.com/g/compressor-beta-testing to join the testing group and install!

Every. Single. Video Compression app on the play store SUCKS, which is why I created Compressor!

  • Faster than every single compression app on the Play Store. Period.

  • Uses native Media3 API, not another slow, bulky FFMpeg wrapper

  • No third party libraries

  • No invasive permissions (no storage, no internet etc)

  • Ad free

  • Super lightweight (< 10MB)

  • Completely native Kotlin (no React Native slop here)

  • Works on Android 7.0 and up

Compared to the first non-sponsored search result for “video compressor” on the Play Store, Panda Video Compressor, with over 10 million downloads, Compressor is 117x faster. When tested on my Pixel 8 Pro compressing a 200MB 4K video down to 1080p30 with the Medium preset in both apps, Compressor took only 11 seconds, Panda took almost 22 minutes.

Furthermore, using the highly optimised native Media3 API, Compressor is able to compress that same 200MB video down to just 2.2MB at 720p30, with virtually no difference in quality on a 6” phone screen.

I don’t currently have $25 USD to sign up for a Google Play Console account, so you can get Compressor completely free from GitHub releases (or build it yourself with Android Studio) at https://github.com/JoshAtticus/Compressor/releases/latest

If you like Compressor, please also consider donating even just a few dollars so I can get it onto the Play Store! I will never paywall features or put ads in the app. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/joshatticus

I win balze has been deleted and is being remade from scratch

It didn't face a DDoS attack I just used up all your egress so you have to buy more now

Hey guys,

Firstly, don’t worry about the email logins, you will still be able to sign up and log in with it. Secondly, our database faced a DDoS attack and caused the site to shut down. We are currently investigating the incident and will update you with more details in the future. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Blaze

Hello Blazers,

It’s with a heavy heart that we must announce the death of our platform, Blaze. Due to financial constraints, we can no longer afford to keep our platform up and running, especially with the lack of users and sales. Blaze is officially bankrupt.

While this may be upsetting news to some of you, we want to assure that we want to come back. However, it requires money and it requires our users to be active on our platform. This is something that we can’t achieve, which is why we are shutting down.

Our phone number is currently active, but it will be abandoned by next month. If you wish to have your data given to you, you have until October 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, everything will be deleted permanently, meaning if we revive this platform, we’ll have to start over from the beginning. Our phone number is (562)-352-5293 if you want to text us (Calls won’t go through).

Thank you for your support during these last couple of years, we at Blaze truly appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Blaze.
