Select partitions and input extensions which to process

A command line of this application is also available, and it is possible to reduce the size of Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint documents, as well as other compound files. You can input the file extensions you want to compress, or you can just process all of them.
The minimal interface enables you to view all connected drives in the main window as a list, be they removable or not. You can choose to process all the non-removable devices, or you manually select the ones that interest you.

The compression process does not put a strain on the computer’s performance, as the CPU and memory usage is low at all times. Moreover, when it is done, you can view in another window the total number of files on the disk and the compressed ones, total bytes before and after the size reduction and the compression ratio.
