The Name Compressor a SmallwareLab tool · namecompressor.smallwarelab.com

Compress any file.
Instantly.

Our advanced filename compression engine reduces your file’s name by up to 60% — with zero quality loss, because we do not touch a single byte of the file itself.

How it works

  1. 1. Drop in any file

    Your file is read locally, in this tab. It is never uploaded, because there is nothing to upload it to.

  2. 2. The engine compresses the name

    Vowels and spaces are precision-removed from the filename. The extension is left fully intact, so the file still opens exactly as before.

  3. 3. Download the same file, shorter-named

    Every byte is returned exactly as received. Only the name is smaller. That is the entire technology.

FAQ

Did my file actually get smaller?

The filename got smaller. The file is returned byte-for-byte identical to the one you dropped in — we alter zero bytes. The compression is applied exclusively to the name.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser tab. Open your developer tools and watch the Network tab stay empty. Your file never leaves your device.

What exactly does the engine remove?

Vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and spaces, from the filename only. Consonants, numbers, underscores, hyphens, punctuation and the file extension are all preserved.

What if my filename has no vowels?

Then it is already optimally compressed, and the engine will proudly report 0% saved. Some names are born compressed.

Which files does it work on?

All of them. A filename can be compressed regardless of what is inside the file. That is the advantage of never looking inside the file.

Is it free?

Yes. Free, no account, no watermark on the shorter name.
