FastCompress Public Preview

This is a document-only public preview for FastCompress.

No public Windows executable is attached yet. This preview is intended to make
the product direction, Free/Pro model, and release blockers visible before a
downloadable beta is packaged.

What FastCompress Is

FastCompress is a simple Windows video compression app for shrinking videos
without learning codec settings. The app is built around presets and target file
sizes so users can choose where a video is going and get a smaller file.

Free Behavior

FastCompress Free keeps core compression available:

  • single-file compression
  • platform presets
  • target file size support
  • no watermark

Pro Gates

FastCompress Pro is planned and implemented as a workflow and convenience
unlock. Pro gates apply to:

  • batch compression
  • folder queues
  • saved presets
  • advanced encoder/hardware controls
  • parallel processing
  • compression reports

Public EXE Blockers

Before a public Windows executable is attached, the following items must be
completed:

  • create FastCompress Lemon Squeezy product/variant
  • set FASTCOMPRESS_LEMON_PRO_PRODUCT_ID
  • set FASTCOMPRESS_PRO_CHECKOUT_URL
  • test activate/deactivate/reactivate
  • test wrong-product key
  • test missing-config behavior
  • build and smoke-test Windows package
