GetCompress is a lightweight desktop app that compresses and converts images, videos, GIFs, and PDFs in batches, entirely offline on the user's computer. It supports over 107 formats and offers automation features such as clipboard compression, folder monitoring, reusable presets, an MCP server for AI assistants, and open-source JavaScript extensions. The app is sold as a one-time lifetime license rather than a subscription. It also links to a separate set of free browser-based tools for image conversion, metadata removal, and file comparison that run locally with no uploads.
