HitPaw Compressor

When you want to take your preferred images and videos with you and you start copying them to your smartphone, you might end up of space quite quickly. If you do not want to give up any of the items, you can turn to specialized solutions like HitPaw Compressor, as it can help you reduce their size within seconds.

The main window is neatly organized and straightforward, as you can simply drag and drop the pictures and the clips you want to process onto the main window.

You can also use the dedicated 'Add files' button to load JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, JPG images, along with MP4, WMV, AVI, MKV, FLV, and MOV videos.

Once you specify the destination folder, you only need to select the output quality (low or high), and the file format, and you are done.

When dealing with graphic files, HitPaw Compressor can export them to JPEG or it can maintain their original format. If you want to compress one or more videos, you can save them as MP4, WebM or their initial source format.

Another aspect worth noting is that you can compare the processed images in a side-by-side manner, so as to assess that there are no visible quality faults. Unfortunately, the only way to check the quality of your compressed videos is to open them using the default associated app, since HitPaw Compressor does not pack a built-in player.

HitPaw Compressor can prove a handy utility when you want to cram as many files onto a portable device or a certain hard drive, and you want to reduce their size without too much hassle. No technical knowledge is required, so even those with very little PC skills can still make the most of it.
