Rezip

A self-hosted video compression tool powered by FFmpeg + H.265 (HEVC). 100% local compression; nothing leaves your machine.

Rezip requires Node.js 18+ and FFmpeg in PATH. Download FFmpeg if you haven't.

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Mich45/rezip.git

2. Change directory and run:

npm install
npm run build

# GPU mode (auto-detects your hardware)
npm run start:gpu

# CPU mode (libx264 ultrafast)
npm start

Then open http://localhost:3000

docker compose up --build

Then open http://localhost:3000

1. Upload any video (MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, WEBM, etc.)
2. Choose a compression level:
   • Low — near-lossless, minor size reduction (CRF 19)
   • Medium — balanced quality & size (CRF 25) ← default
   • High — maximum compression, ideal for web (CRF 31)
3. Click Rezip and watch real-time progress
4. Download your compressed file

• H.265/HEVC encoding for best quality-to-size ratio
• Real-time progress via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
• Automatic cleanup of files after download or 1-hour timeout
• No file size limits (limited only by your disk)
• Zero configuration required

All processing happens inside the Docker container / local Node process. No external APIs, no cloud, no analytics.
