Horizon Compress
One of the greatest advancements in the last decade has been the increase in the quality of images, allowing us to now take highly detailed 4K images. Yet here lies the problem: more detail means more data which translates to more space needed to store images.
As a result, many of us are struggling with space on our mobile devices and 16 Gb is not enough for a lot of us. This is where Horizon Compress comes in. Horizon Compress uses state-of-the-art technology to bring you high-quality compression of images.
Horizon Compress provides you with a range of compression levels: from 40% compression to our Vault Compression that allows up to 97% compression of JPEG images. This will allow you to transfer and safely store more images on your laptop and desktop computer, giving you more space on your mobile devices.
If you are a Desktop user, Horizon Compress is still a good fit for you: you can compress and safely store your images without the need to buy a new hard drive.
In Place Compression
With the exception of Vault Compression, all of our compression algorithms do not require decompression: your images are compressed to an image format that you can easily open in a standard Photo Viewer.
High Quality Compression
We utilise state-of-the-art algorithms to provide you with high-quality lossy compression. Please have a look at the example images below to get a feel for the quality of the compression.
Fast Compression Rates
Horizon Compress offers fast compression rates. On our benchmark test, we were able to compress 1.5 Gb worth of images in less than 3 minutes on a typical i7 computer.
Many Layers of Compression
Horizon Compress provides you with a wide range of options. Currently we offer the following compression options:
- 40% compression
- 60% compression
- 80% compression
- 90% compression
- Vault Compression (up to 97% compression)
