Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Neil, the creator of Localsquash. How many times have you wanted to compress a video, convert an image, or shrink an audio file, only to end up on a sketchy website that: 1. Forces you to upload your private, sensitive media to their servers? 2. Slaps on a massive watermark unless you pay? 3. Caps your file size at a measly 50MB? 4. Limits you to 3 free files a day or forces you to sign up? I got tired of this dance, so I built **Localsquash**. It’s a 100% local, browser-based media compressor and converter powered by FFmpeg WebAssembly. Because the processing runs directly on your device, your files never touch a server. Your data stays entirely yours. ### 🛠️ What makes LocalSquash different? * **Zero Uploads & 100% Private:** Privacy-first architecture. It works completely client-side. * **Massive File Reduction:** Safely shrink your media by 50% to 95% without sacrificing quality. * **Zero Limits:** No file size caps, no daily limits, no registration, and absolutely no watermarks. * **Multi-Format Support:** * 🎥 **Video:** MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM * 📸 **Images:** JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC * 🎵 **Audio:** MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC * **Works Offline:** Once the page loads, you can use it entirely offline. I would absolutely love to get your feedback! Are there any formats or specific features will make the experience better? Huge thanks for checking it out, and happy squashing! – Neil
