Swf compressor

Depending on the project you're working on, you might be including SFW files that take up a lot of space on your hard disk drive. SWF Compressor is an easy-to-use software that can reduce the size of your Flash (SWF) files.

The interface of the program is plain and simple, with no complicated functions or configurations. Thus, all you have to do is browse for SWF files in your computer (the "drag and drop" method is not supported), select a file and then hit the "Compress SWFs" button.

You can batch-convert files. In this case, they have to be in the same root. You cannot use multiple selection, so simply select the folder and initiate compression.

A task is completed in a very reasonable amount of time while the program uses a small part of the system resources. You can view the status (e.g. "Compression finished"), as well as the amount of bytes which has been cut.

SWF Compressor manages to reduce the size of files while keeping the original image and sound quality. Make sure to backup your SWF files just in case, because this utility doesn't create a new output file, but overwrites the initial one.

Even if it's extremely simple to use by beginners, the software doesn't come with a help file and lacks any kind of settings. Also, the difference between the original and compressed size of a SWF file is not that impressive.

Thus, in the case of large files, this minor reduction is hardly noticeable. Plus, some media players could encounter problems playing the compressed file.

SWF Compressor is a decent program for reducing the size of SWF files, but it certainly needs to be improved when it comes to functionality and the interface. Overall, it's straightforward, offering no real sense of mobility or astonishing results.
