Dinky in size* only
Most tools pick one specialty. Dinky covers stills, MP4 shrink, PDF compression, and audio cross-converts — optional scan OCR before PDF encoding — free, open source, and tiny.
*We don't want you to give up quality for a smaller footprint — Dinky stays light without cutting corners on how your images, video, audio, and PDFs look.
