Compressor provides native video compression on Android, according to its project title and description.
About Compressor
Compressor is an open source native video compression app for Android, published as a GitHub repository. The project describes itself as inspired by the Kompresso app for iOS. It is built in Kotlin on the Media3 library rather than an FFmpeg wrapper, and it provides a simple interface with share sheet support.
The project's homepage includes benchmark results for several Android devices. These are for the version 1.6.3 and compare compression times for test videos using the Medium preset. The author notes that timing was captured manually with a stopwatch, so a small margin of error is expected. Some listed devices were marked as unable to process certain test videos because of hardware limits. A separate app, Compressor Edge, is described as offering extra features and fixes not found in Compressor.
