If you find DrinkMe useful and want to support future updates, a coffee goes a long way 💜
DrinkMe is a minimalist desktop app that automatically compresses videos into smaller files—no manual settings or technical know-how required. Just pick a file, click Shrink, and save space. Although it varies depending on each file, it aims at reducing between 80-90% of the original size.
- ✂️ Two-button workflow — select a file, press shrink
- 📦 FFmpeg integration — bundled binaries, no separate install needed
- 🔎 Automatic analysis — estimates disk savings before compressing
⚠️ Smart safeguards — skips compression for negligible savings, low disk space, or duplicate outputs- 📼 Broad format support — handles virtually any common video type
- ⚙️ Portable & installer versions — zero-install EXE or full setup
 Select a video, review the estimate, then click Shrink. |
 You’ll get a heads-up when only a few megabytes are saved. |
