VideoLighter

VideoLighter is a desktop video and image compression tool that makes your files dramatically smaller without visible quality loss. Most video compressors either destroy your video quality or require uploading to someone else's server. VideoLighter solves both problems. It uses the same next-gen codecs that YouTube and Netflix use (SVT-AV1 and VP9) to reduce file sizes by up to 80%, while keeping visual quality virtually identical to the original (SSIM 0.97+). Everything runs 100% locally on your computer. Your videos and photos never leave your device. No uploads, no cloud processing, no privacy concerns. One-click compression with 3 smart presets: Best Quality, Balanced, and Smallest Size. It preserves 10-bit HDR colors perfectly for iPhone and Samsung videos. It automatically removes GPS location and metadata for privacy. Batch processing with smart parallel compression is supported. Image compression for JPG, PNG, and WEBP is also included. Real-time before/after quality comparison lets you verify results instantly. No internet connection is required — it works fully offline. Free plan includes 3 videos and 20 images per day. 1 Month Unlimited costs $3.99 as a one-time payment, not a recurring subscription. Lifetime Pass is $14.99. Available for Windows 10/11 and macOS. Built with Tauri v2 (Rust + React) and FFmpeg. Open source under GPL-3.0.
