Media files stay local; diagnostics are separate. Your media file is processed in your browser and is not uploaded or sent to an AI service. If enabled, anonymous diagnostics may be sent, but they do not contain file contents.

Processing Architecture & Calibration

Drop PDF to compress under Gmail attachment limit All media streams are isolated locally inside your device using hardware-accelerated WebAssembly (WASM) and WebCodecs. Zero bytes of audio or video content are ever transmitted to external cloud servers.

How It Works

  1. Drop your audio or video file directly into the browser dropzone.
  2. The client-side engine executes local inference or bit-exact extraction without upload delays.
  3. Audition the 15-second realtime A/B comparison with the Dry/Wet slider.
  4. Export your pristine clean master file with 100% original video track preservation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does in-browser file compression work without uploading?
Drop & Clean compresses images and videos locally in your browser using HTML5 Canvas and WebCodecs; media files are not uploaded. Anonymous diagnostics may be sent without media contents; manage them in your privacy preferences.
Will my photos or videos lose visible quality after compression?
No noticeable loss for human eyes. Our engine enforces an intelligent 0.65 quality floor and multi-pass rate control to achieve the target file size while strictly preventing artifacting, blockiness, or severe color banding. You can also inspect the before and after preview directly before saving.
Can I compress files to fit specific platform limits (Discord, WhatsApp, Email)?
Yes. We provide verified presets for Discord Nitro Free (≤10MB / 8MB), WhatsApp sharing (≤16MB), Gmail & Outlook attachments (≤25MB), as well as web upload portals (≤50KB, ≤100KB, ≤200KB). The engine targets exact byte ceilings.
Which media formats are supported?
We support all major formats: images including JPEG, JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF; and videos including MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, FLV, and TS containers without requiring third-party software installation.
Are my confidential documents and private photos secure?
Compression runs locally in your browser, and media files are not uploaded. Anonymous diagnostics may be sent if enabled; review the Privacy Policy for details.
