Why file compressor on AZ Tooling?
Big files are a tax on everything: uploads, shares, storage, attachments. AZ Tooling's compressors re-encode your files with modern codecs and sensible quality targets, typically cutting size by 50–90% with no visible difference.
Unlike server-based compressors, your files are never uploaded anywhere. The compression engine runs on your own device, so even confidential documents and personal videos stay completely private.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my file get?
It depends on the source, but most files compress by 50–90%. Videos and photos straight from a camera see the biggest wins because they're encoded for editing, not sharing.
Will compression reduce quality?
You control the trade-off with the quality slider. The default targets are chosen to be visually lossless for typical viewing — most people can't tell the difference.
Is it safe to compress private files here?
Yes. Compression happens entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded, so confidential documents and personal media never leave your device.
Which files can I compress?
Video (MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV), images (JPEG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, GIF), audio (MP3, WAV) and PDF documents — each with format-specific optimizations.
