Awesome! Would give 100000 stars if I could.

Excellent Software and It's 100% Free for a Basic Large File. My File got compressed with No Problem. There was No Pop up asking you to spend Money or to do a Free Trial like several others that Lie and say it's 100% free to use, No. It Also Has a Free Extension to Add to your Desktop or Laptop. Keep up the Great Work. I Highly recommend This App or Website Software.
