## What it is
CompressO is a free, open-source desktop app for compressing videos and images to tiny sizes entirely offline, built with Tauri, Rust, and React and powered by FFmpeg. It also offers format conversion, basic video/image editing, batch processing, and GIF tools with a drag-and-drop interface.

## Use cases
- compress large video files to a smaller size
- shrink images for web without losing quality
- convert videos between MP4, MOV, AVI and other formats
- batch compress a folder of photos
- make animated GIFs from video clips
- compress files offline without uploading to the cloud

## When to choose
- you need a free, private, fully offline compression tool with no uploads or tracking
- you want a simple drag-and-drop GUI instead of memorizing FFmpeg commands
- you need cross-platform support on Mac, Windows, and Linux
- you want compression plus trimming, cropping, and format conversion in one app

## When to avoid
- you need a CLI tool for scripted or server-side compression pipelines
- you require an Apple-notarized macOS binary for managed environments
- you need advanced professional video editing beyond trim/crop/rotate
- you need programmatic APIs or library integration rather than a desktop app
