Great tool
Hello Marc, I've contacted you via social media regarding the problem with compressing files. Specifically, if a file is already compressed, it cannot be compressed again.

Not working for me in safari M3 Max. Dragged a 1.3 gig file over. Shows the right info. trim, change compression (even tried twitter), click compress. It shows me the download button immediately and the file size is the same.
