Compresto 1.29 Overview

Compresto, formerly known as CompressX, is a native macOS media compression app made by Dinh Quang Hieu, built to shrink videos, images, GIFs, and PDFs without noticeable quality loss. Rather than relying on cloud-based converters that require uploading private files to remote servers, Compresto performs all compression work locally on the Mac, taking advantage of Apple Silicon's VideoToolbox hardware acceleration alongside specialized open-source compression engines. What distinguishes Compresto from single-purpose compressors is its breadth — handling animated GIFs, lossy and lossless images, multi-page PDFs, and high-resolution 4K video within the same app, all through simple drag-and-drop or a persistent floating Drop Zone. Folder monitoring, named presets, and clipboard auto-compress round out an automation-focused workflow aimed at developers, designers, and content creators who regularly hit storage limits or attachment size caps. Compresto 1.29, released June 30, 2026, is a renaming-focused update centered on offline AI file naming through Ollama, letting users generate descriptive file names entirely on-device using a local vision model with nothing sent to a remote server. It also adds inline output renaming directly in the notch viewer and a faster, lazy-loading compression history.

Key Features

Image, GIF, and PDF Compression JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, and GIF files are compressed in seconds, and image-heavy PDFs can be shrunk while keeping text sharp and readable. Batch Processing Entire folders of videos, screenshots, or exports can be dropped in at once, with Compresto processing everything in the background while the user continues working. Folder Monitoring Automation Compresto can watch a specified folder and automatically compress new files after a configurable settle delay, useful when a download or export is still being written. Drag-and-Drop and Floating Drop Zone Files can be compressed by simple drag-and-drop onto the main window or a persistent floating Drop Zone that stays available while working in other apps. Offline AI Renaming with Ollama Users can point Compresto at a local Ollama server to generate descriptive file names entirely on-device using a vision model, with nothing sent to any external server. Inline Output Renaming in the Notch After a compression finishes, users can click a pencil icon next to the file name directly in the notch viewer to rename the output immediately, without opening Finder. Faster, Lazy-Loaded Compression History The history view now lazy-loads, rendering the newest items first and extending as the user scrolls, with an adjustable batch size picker (50, 100, 200, or 500 items).

How to Use Compresto 1.29

Launch the app; it will run with a floating Drop Zone available alongside your other work. Drag a file, a batch of files, or an entire folder onto the main window or Drop Zone to begin compression. Choose or create a named preset defining your desired quality, resize rules, and output format. Let Compresto process files in the background using local Apple Silicon hardware acceleration. Set up folder monitoring if you want new files in a specific location to be compressed automatically. If you want AI-generated file names, configure Ollama under Settings → AI Renaming, enter your local server URL, and select a vision model. Use the notch viewer's inline renaming pencil icon to adjust an output file's name immediately after compression. Browse your compression history using the lazy-loaded view, adjusting the batch size picker if you have a large history to scroll through.
