Kompressed

iOS app for tiny radio pipes. Fits a photo or a short clip under the byte budget HF, LoRa, or Iridium actually gives you. Live on the App Store.

Kompressed is live on the App Store. It takes a photo or a video and gets it under a hard byte budget — the kind a tactical radio link gives you, not the kind a broadband connection pretends to have. You set the ceiling, it crops, scales and encodes until the file fits, and tells you what it cost.

It used to be called Kompressor. The old URLs still land here.

Get it on the App Store — seller Marshall Tyler Frith.

Try it in the browser — no install, no account. Same work, on your own machine. Safari on iPhone supports fewer of the encoders than the app does, so treat the browser version as the weaker one.

Kompressed ready to load a photo, with the link budget set to a typical VARA HF radio.

The privacy policy is short on purpose: the app collects nothing and contains no network code.

A quiet aft-of-wing PACE note sits beside this page. Contingency framing for a compressed clip, not store-listing copy.

It is not published. These are personal builds, and what is here is the write-up rather than the repository.

The browser version is here, running the same work on your own machine: try it.

If you want to read the source or run the full desktop tool, ask. Say what you are doing with it and I will usually send it over.
