## About

**GetCompress** is a desktop app built by solo founder Petr out of pure frustration with modern media tools. Tired of bloated compressors that choke up and struggle to scroll through a list of just ten previews, he built a fast, lightweight alternative designed to make media compression effortless and seamless.

It is designed for creators, developers, and anyone who frequently shares media online and needs to quickly shrink assets without constantly alt-tabbing or sacrificing quality.
