Spectro - Video Compressor

👋 Hey Product Hunt!

I'm excited to share Spectro — a high-quality video compression tool that helps you reduce file sizes without sacrificing visual quality.

Spectro was born out of a real need: I often shoot a lot of videos on my iPhone and found myself not only running out of storage space, but also needing a better way to share large videos quickly without burning through mobile data. I wanted to compress videos down to 10% of their original size while keeping the original visual quality for sharing online — fast, efficient, and reliable.

Most compression tools either degraded visual quality too much or lacked the advanced controls I needed — like fine-tuning FFmpeg parameters, doing 1:1 visual comparisons between original and compressed versions, remotely controlling my Mac for overnight batch compression, or enabling a read-only “kiosk” mode so my kids could safely browse our family videos. So I built my own.

What makes Spectro different:

🎥 Compress videos without compromising quality

⚡️ Hardware-accelerated & lightning fast

🛠️ Full FFmpeg parameter control — for serious users

🔍 1:1 visual comparison — see the difference frame by frame

📄 Inspect metadata and playback sub-resources

📦 Batch processing — perfect for overnight queues

💻 Monitor compression progress from any Apple device

🔐 Built-in privacy protection via Face ID / Touch ID

🎯 Designed for creators, pros, and anyone running out of storage

👶 Even includes Read-Only Mode so kids can browse your favourite videos safely

Whether you’re a video creator, a power user, or just someone who wants to free up space smartly — Spectro is for you.

Would love your thoughts, questions, and feedback!
