Hi Product Hunt community! 👋

I’m the solo creator of SqueezeNative. Like many of you, I grew completely tired of subscription-based, slow cloud compressors that compromise corporate data privacy, force you into endless monthly fees, and throttle your upload speeds. So, I spent the last few months building a fast, lightweight, and 100% local alternative designed specifically for professionals, creators, and B2B teams.

SqueezeNative is an ultra-lightweight, portable 35.5MB Windows desktop utility built natively in pure C++ (WinAPI + Dear ImGui). It combines the rock-solid power of industry-standard backend engines like FFmpeg, pngquant, and pdfcpu into one seamless, clean drag-and-drop interface. No heavy Electron wrappers, no system bloat—just instant performance.

BENCHMARK
To prove what this native engine can do, I ran a heavy, continuous video file through SqueezeNative on an entry-level Intel Core i3-9100F processor. Here are the exact, unedited benchmark results from the application logs:
• Video Duration: 33 minutes and 35 seconds
• Original File Size: 2.36 GB
• Compressed File Size: 360 MB
• SSIM All:0.992934
• PSNR average:47.288072
• Net Space Saved: 2.01 GB (An incredible ~85% storage reduction)
• Total Processing Time: 908.3 seconds (~15.1 minutes) on a i3-9100F
The visual quality remains absolutely flawless, preserving fine details while wiping out over 2 gigabytes of wasted storage space in a single local operation.

📦 SUPPORTED FORMATS & AVERAGE COMPRESSION RATIOS
SqueezeNative automatically detects your file format upon drag-and-drop and launches isolated background pipelines:

• 🎬 Video Files (.mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv): Optimizes heavy video assets by up to 80-85% using H.264 Advanced Video Coding (libx264 codec, CRF 28 profile, faster preset).
• 📄 PDF Documents (.pdf): Shrinks enterprise reports and ebooks by 20% to 50% via deep structural cleaning, removing redundant objects, and re-sampling embedded images.
• 🖼️ Images (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp): Optimize standard web graphics and assets by 10% to 30% on average (and up to 50% for uncompressed high-res images). PNGs use palette reduction with alpha preservation, while JPEGs and WebP run through custom optimized re-encoding blocks.
• 🚀 Parallel Batch Processing: Drop multiple files or entire folders at once. The application dynamically spawns isolated asynchronous worker threads to compress your data in parallel, utilizing 100% of your native CPU power.

🔒 ENTERPRISE-GRADE PRIVACY & ARCHITECTURE

100% Offline & Private: Your data never leaves your computer. No files, logs, or company data are ever uploaded to external servers. This makes it fully compliant with strict corporate NDAs and perfect for air-gapped secure networks.
Ultra-Lightweight (Only 35.5 MB): Unlike bloated modern software wrapped in Chromium, our app starts instantly and has an incredibly low RAM and storage footprint.
Asynchronous Multithreading: Interface rendering is separated from compression workloads. The main UI thread stays perfectly responsive, providing real-time progress bars and dynamic ETA calculations while background worker threads handle massive workloads.
No Installation Bloat: SqueezeNative is fully portable. Just unzip and run—it leaves zero registry trash or background services on your system.
Annual Commercial Licensing: Clear, predictable tiers built for individual professionals and corporate teams with zero hidden fees.
