Our Take

Squash Video is the kind of tool that makes you wonder why video compression has always been this annoying. Instead of drowning in codec dropdowns and aspect ratio math, you just pick where your video is going — Discord, TikTok, whatever — and Squash handles the rest locally on your machine, no uploading to mystery servers involved. It's $29 as a one-time purchase after the launch window, with a free tier that caps exports at 60 seconds and slaps on an end card, which is honestly fair enough to decide if you actually need it or just want to send the occasional clip. The batch processing and built-in trim/rotate tools mean you're not bouncing between three apps to get a vertical TikTok from your horizontal footage, and that's the real flex here.

Destination-based video compression for macOS. Drop a video, choose where it's going, and Squash gives you the version that fits: Discord, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, email, and 30+ more platforms.
