Scrunch is a free, open-source file compressor that runs entirely in your browser. Drop in photos, PDFs and videos and get smaller files back in seconds. Nothing is uploaded, there’s no account, and it works with the Wi‑Fi off. Save as AVIF or WebP, open iPhone HEIC photos, and fit files under 500 KB to 5 MB for upload forms. Screenshots stay crisp and PDFs keep sharp, selectable text.

Hey Product Hunt! I’m Mohit, a product designer with 7+ years of experience.
Why I built this?
Every time I needed to compress a file, it was usually something confidential, and I didn’t want to upload it to someone else’s server. I also hated hitting a paywall right after uploading. So I built Scrunch: a little machine that squeezes files without them ever leaving your device.
There’s a second reason. As a designer, I wanted to learn how to build a product myself, from start to finish. Scrunch is one of my first. I kept the scope small and used it to explore design, make something fun and interactive, and learn along the way.
What it does:
• Photos, PDFs and videos in one batch, saved one by one or as a zip
• Save photos as AVIF or WebP, and open iPhone HEIC photos in any browser
• “Files under” 500 KB, 1, 2 or 5 MB, for job portals, government forms and email
• Screenshots stay crisp, PDFs keep sharp, selectable text
• Photos lose their location data on the way out
It’s free forever, open source, has no account and no ads, and it keeps working with the Wi‑Fi off.
I had a lot of fun making it, and I hope you enjoy using it as much as I loved creating it. Tell me what breaks, what’s confusing and what you’d want next.
