A free Windows app that re-encodes videos with modern codecs (AV1 / HEVC) to save disk space — GPU-accelerated, batch-friendly, with optional AI background blur and noise reduction.
Version 1.1.0 · ~164 MB · no sign-up, runs entirely on your PC.
Drag & drop files or whole folders — or use Import folder to queue everything at once, subfolders included.
Choose a codec (or let Auto pick the best your hardware supports), a resolution, and any optional effects.
The queue runs in the background using your GPU when available. Originals are never overwritten.
AV1, HEVC, VP9, and ProRes with NVIDIA / Intel / AMD hardware encoding, automatic CPU fallback, and a Max compatibility mode that outputs edit-friendly H.264 files Camtasia and Premiere handle without crashing.
Queue individual files or entire folders. Name conflicts get a suffix instead of overwriting anything.
Frame rate, colors, HDR flags, subtitles, and already-efficient audio are left untouched — only the video encoding is modernized.
NVIDIA-Broadcast-style person blur for talking-head footage — the person stays sharp while the background blurs, on any GPU.
Optional mic noise removal (RNNoise), video grain reduction, and EBU R128 volume normalization.
FFmpeg and the AI models are bundled in. Nothing else to install, and it works completely offline.
