So far, this program has got some very mixed reviews. Question for everyone: Is this program safe to use, and is it effective in what it claims to do?
Save | Cancel
Although the interface is simple and the program easy to use, results have been mixed. This program looks like a lovely Swiss Army Knife of compression, but it's more of a blunt instrument.
I compared a roughly 1gb video (compressed at Medium level to 180K) to the same video compressed to 145K with HandBrake. On my 17" laptop screen, I could see no difference between the original and the HandBrake version, but the Apowersoft version was noticeably soft.
The program appeared to do a better job compressing a large PDF. Using Normal compression, it reduced a 400MB file to 24 MB, and on screen it looked the same as the original. But, beware! To achieve this compression, it reduced the dimensions of the embedded images massively. Instead of a print-ready PDF, I now had a screen-resolution PDF.

Right, here's a question to the developer(s)..... If I compress a video is it a) playable in the compressed form, and, b) if so, I) is the playing time shortened? and II) does the pitch of any soundtrack go up?
Thanks

Works well (pdf part), if I set compression to "normal". A bit better compression ratio then my old Adobe Acrobat, approximately the same speed.
But when I set compression to "size", hoping in even better compression, it converted all pages to images, resulting in a larger file with not searchable /selectable texts. Oops! Bug or feature? Maybe for "only image" pdf it is ok, but it happens without warning, there are no settings, controls...
I tried "size" option first and I almost uninstalled the program...
Save | Cancel
PS In a presentation with many images (500 pages, 40 MB) compression rate with "normal" settings is about 50%, but there is visible loss of image quality. Setting "quality" looks better, but the final file size is almost the same as the original.
Disturbing...

License is for 1 year. Say for example, you compressed 300,000 photos, 1,000 Excel files, 3,000 PDF files and 1,000 Word files. In doing so, you saved some space in the hard drive. Then 1 year passes and the program expires.
Then what? You have all those files and photos locked away permanently and you are unable to de-compress them for use or to view.
Does it make sense to use the ApowerCompress giveaway software?

ricohflex, not it doesn't. I never download anything that is not lifetime... these are not giveaways, these are extended trial software... and that's what Gotd has mainly turned into lately...
Save | Cancel
ricohflex, you don't need to decompress these files for use or to view. If you do the compression in a reasonable way ("normal"), the files are just as useful compressed as they were when untouched.

Not good. I compressed a PDF file 134 MB in size, and after "compression" it came in at 139 MB. Am I doing something wrong?
Save | Cancel
Frank D, try set compression to "normal". See my comment above...

Frank D, try this:

Henry, actually it was already set to "normal" when I did this "compression."
Save | Cancel
mp, I tried it with my 136MB PDF file, but the operation timed out at 10 minutes, and it said, "Sorry." So this website is useless for large files.

Frank D: here are original and compressed screenshots from a ~25MBfile. Notice the degradation after compression. This makes the program unacceptable for me.

what is a typical compression outcome without losing quality, if for example, a video is 60 mbs and one wants to get it to send via email at 25 or less?
Save | Cancel
"what is a typical compression outcome without losing quality..."
Zip, 7-Zip etc. reduce the file size of some types of files, e.g. text, because they have *white space* that can be eliminated when the file's compressed, added back when the files expanded. Photos and video do not, so to make their files smaller you generally have to remove data, which means some quality loss. For video you can re-encode to one of the more efficient codecs, e.g. H.265, which will let you preserve more of the original quality. You can also reduce the frame size, fps, and/or bit rate -- sometimes frame size has the greatest impact & lowest relative quality loss. Also try to make sure you use VBR [Variable Bit Rate], which sadly many converters will not do, at least easily.
That all said, you can encode anamorphic 1080p VBR video at a bit rate of 1 - 2 and get Very watchable results.

Have downloaded apower Compress as GOTD, but cannot find how to activate the program?
Save | Cancel
After successfully activating my VIP account for the downloaded ApowerCompress v1.1.12, it appears the activation is only valid for 1 year. The description above says nothing about a 1-year license. I usually don't install apps that die after a period of time. Too bad; wish this would have been an actual software giveaway.
Save | Cancel
RC, Clearly states 1 year. Pay attention!
Save | Cancel
RC, on the "man page of this GOTD https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/apowersoft-pdf-compressor/ you cyn see in the right column (blue background) System requirements etc., there are also license details (here: 1-year license). I normally avoid limited-time licenses, but this time I give it a try - I use this functionality and if it works better then my current sw, I can buy it (or maybe it re-appear here)...
Save | Cancel
Right you are: I see it now. Usually it is in the description in the email or on the webpage. My bad--it does say 1-year license in the side bar.

Good instrutions in how to use it, found here :

I suppose that the recipients of such a compressed file should have the same program for decompression, should'nt they?
Save | Cancel
Aris , I don't see why anyone would want to decompress a file that had been compressed to "Normal," since they wouldn't be able to see any quality difference anyway, not having the original to compare it to.

The setup file is for ApowerCompress and not for Apowersoft PDF Compressor VIP 1.0.1. But ApowerCompress has the ability to Compress PDF as well as Compress Image and Video. Thank you for bringing not only Compress PDF but also Image & Video. Cheers.
