## What it is
A React Native library that compresses images, videos, and audio with WhatsApp-like quality, plus background upload, file download, and video thumbnail generation. It is lightweight, adding only ~50 KB to the APK compared to FFmpeg's ~9 MB.

## Use cases
- compress images before uploading in a react native app
- compress videos like whatsapp does
- reduce audio file size on mobile
- upload files in the background on react native
- generate video thumbnails in react native
- shrink app size compared to ffmpeg-based compression

## When to choose
- you need WhatsApp-style media compression in React Native or Expo
- you want minimal APK size impact versus bundling FFmpeg
- you need background uploads or thumbnail generation alongside compression

## When to avoid
- you need fine-grained control over compression codecs and parameters
- your project is not React Native
- you need compression on platforms other than Android/iOS

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: compression, image-processing, video-processing, audio-processing, file-upload
- domain: mobile-development, media, image-processing
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react-native, expo, whatsapp-style-compression, background-upload, thumbnail-generation, media-compression, video, android, ios, mobile
