# squish

> squish (https://squish.fit) makes images, GIFs, video and audio up to 99% smaller without visible quality loss. Put `https://squish.fit/?file=` in front of any public media URL and each client gets the smallest format it supports (AVIF, WebP, AV1, H.264, Opus), encoded on the first request and served from Cloudflare's edge cache after that. No SDK or API key is needed.

Typical results: a 14 MB photo becomes a 107 KB AVIF, a 1 MB GIF becomes a 58 KB animated AVIF, and a 5 MB 1080p video fits in 300 KB with `maxkb=300&codec=av1`.
