Compress.FAST is a powerful online bulk file compressor designed to significantly reduce the size of images, PDFs, and various document formats without compromising visible quality. This web-based tool offers a seamless experience for users looking to optimize their files for storage, sharing, or web use, eliminating the need for software installations or immediate sign-ups.
The platform boasts support for over 40 file formats, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of users. Supported image formats include popular types like JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, TIFF, BMP, ICO, and PSD, alongside 26 different RAW camera formats. For documents, it efficiently handles PDFs, Microsoft Word (DOCX), and PowerPoint (PPTX) files. Users can simply drag and drop up to 50 files at once for instant compression.
A core feature of Compress.FAST is its commitment to quality and security. The service employs advanced optimization algorithms to ensure that images are compressed with no visible quality loss, while PDFs retain full searchability, working links, and fillable forms. Word and PowerPoint documents remain fully editable with their original formatting preserved. All files are processed with robust security measures: encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256 encryption. Processing occurs exclusively on EU servers, and all uploaded files are automatically deleted after one hour, ensuring user privacy and data protection. The company explicitly states that it never shares files with third parties.
Compress.FAST offers flexible usage tiers. The "Guest/Free" tier provides 50 free credits per day, allowing users to compress up to 50 files with a maximum file size of 25 MB each, and up to 3 parallel jobs. For more demanding needs, "Pro" and "Business" plans are available. The Pro plan, priced at $9/month, increases limits to 200 MB per file, 200 files per batch, 6 parallel jobs, and 10,000 credits per month. The Business plan, starting at $19/month, further expands capabilities to 1 GB per file, 1000 files per batch, 10 parallel jobs, and 30,000 credits per month, with options to add team members. Credits typically cost 1 per file, and unused credits roll over.
Beyond simple compression, Compress.FAST includes an "Image Resize" option, allowing users to scale down images larger than a specified dimension (e.g., 4K, 1080p, 720p, or custom sizes). This feature applies to images directly and those embedded within Word/PowerPoint documents, preserving layout. Once compressed, files can be downloaded individually or as a convenient single ZIP archive. The output format for most images is JPG, while transparent images become PNG, and original document formats (PDF, DOCX, PPTX) are maintained.
Compress.FAST is an integral part of the broader Tools.FAST Network, which also includes Convert.FAST and the upcoming PDF.FAST. A single subscription to any paid plan unlocks access to all tools within this network, providing a comprehensive suite of file management utilities. This makes Compress.FAST an ideal solution for individuals and businesses seeking an efficient, secure, and high-quality online file compression service.
