# 🚀 Compress I/O
### The Universal, Privacy-Focused Media Compressor.
> **Maintained by:** [Akshat Rawat](https://github.com/akshatrawat095)
> **Repository:** [github.com/akshatrawat095/compress-io](https://github.com/akshatrawat095/compress-io)
**Compress I/O** is a lightning-fast, offline media compressor built with **Tauri, Rust, and React**. It uses your computer's dedicated hardware (GPU) to shrink video and image files without losing quality.
Unlike online converters, **your files never leave your device.**

## ✨ Key Features
### ⚡ Universal GPU Acceleration
Automatically detects and uses your hardware for maximum speed.
* ✅ **NVIDIA:** NVENC (RTX/GTX support)
* ✅ **AMD:** AMF (Radeon support)
* ✅ **Intel:** QuickSync (UHD/Iris/Arc support)
* ✅ **Apple:** VideoToolbox (M1/M2/M3 & Intel Mac support)
### 🛡️ Hybrid Engine (Crash-Proof)
Uses a smart **"Hybrid Mode"** (CPU Reads → GPU Writes) to ensure stability even on massive 8K files or corrupted inputs.
### 🎬 Universal Playback Fix
Automatically standardizes video pixel formats (`yuv420p`), ensuring your compressed videos play perfectly on:
* Windows Media Player / QuickTime
* Smart TVs & Consoles
* iPhones & Android devices
### 🔒 100% Offline & Private
No cloud uploads. No file size limits. No watermarks. Your data stays on your machine.

## 🛠️ Tech Stack
* **Frontend:** React + Vite (Fast, modern UI)
* **Backend:** Rust (Tauri) (Secure, native performance)
* **Engine:** FFmpeg (Static, custom build)

## ❓ FAQ / Troubleshooting
**Q: Why does Task Manager show 0% GPU usage?**
* **A:** Windows Task Manager often hides the "Video Encode" graph. Switch the graph from "3D" to "Video Encode" to see the work happening.
* *Note: On laptops, ensure you plug in your charger for maximum GPU speed.*
**Q: My 4K video size didn't drop significantly. Why?**
* **A:** The app prioritizes **Quality** and **Compatibility**. If your input was already highly compressed (H.265), the app converts it to the more compatible H.264 format while maintaining visual fidelity, which limits size reduction.
