Zlurp
Beta · v1.1.0

Batch optimize images, videos, and PDFs.

Zlurp is a drag-and-drop batch optimizer for the three file types that bloat every project: images, videos, and PDFs. Drop files in, get smaller versions out — no settings to tweak unless you want to.

02.1 The pitch

Drop in a folder of 4K screen recordings or 200 phone photos — Zlurp shrinks them locally, no upload, no queue.

02.2 What it does

Zlurp in one paragraph.

Under the hood it uses FFmpeg for video, Sharp for images, and MuPDF for PDFs, so the compression is real and the results are predictable. Everything runs locally on macOS — no upload step, no cloud round-trip, no waiting for a queue.

I built Zlurp to replace the patchwork of CLI commands and web tools I kept reaching for. Drag in a folder of 4K screen recordings or a stack of phone photos and it just handles it.
