So earlier this week, i had to upload my documents to the bank’s website to get myself a new bank account, but there was one problem, The bank has a maximum file size limit of 3mb, but that was not the only problem, the other problem was my files had all my sensitive information like account number of previous bank, my phone number, email etc.

So i thought let’s get this files compressed online and then we could upload them to the site, but here comes another issue which was if i uploaded them to the internet it could lead to privacy breach, not only that it took me around 4 minutes in total to get all the files uploded, compressed and then downloaded and also then unzipped and then finally uploading them to the Bank’s website. That was a lot of work,

So I then though to myself, being a programmer i can fix this issue not just only for me but also for millions of people around the world, with my expertise in python i cretaed an application called “The Compressor” which could compress and rescale this files almost instantly, and most importantly saving my precious information as it would be offline so no iternet required in this case.

THE COMPRESSOR

I created this application and it’s avaliable for you to download, here: The Compressor.

Check it out its not just the speed but also its always on your machine no need to go to the web.
