Show HN: GitShrink – A simple in-browser video compressor for GitHub uploads

Hi everyone,

I built a small tool called GitShrink to solve a simple problem: making videos small enough (<10MB) to upload to GitHub.

It runs entirely in the browser, so nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Website: https://igtumt.github.io/gitshrink/ GitHub: https://github.com/igtumt/gitshrink

It’s a small, local-first tool with no accounts, no tracking, and no backend.

Use cases:

README demo videos Small product demos Screen recordings for GitHub

Feedback is welcome.

It’s pretty minimal and focused on one thing: getting a video under 10MB.

Curious if others run into the same problem or have better workflows for this.
